With Me...

Walk with me and say no words
And see through my eyes the beauty I see
Imagine what I visualize in utter dark sky
And then you’ll know why my thoughts are hard to believe
Replenish the soul with clouds so fluffed
Hear the silence and taste the music
Fly with me above the stretch of golden street lights
Above the mountains green and grey
Dig feet with me in the wet sand of the beach
Let the waves wash the tears away
And then cry with me as I stand in the graveyard
Feeling all the pain buried in that piece of land
Hold my hand and feel the flow of blood
Under my skin and feel what my soul demand
Command the moon on my terrace
And wonder how it talks to me
Dance with me in the light of heavens
And let the demons and angels watch down on you and me
See how the landscape turns liquid
And then mixes and crumbles into an abstract form
Drown in the bath tub and see the life bubbled
Floating away as is its norm

Life is just not what eyes see
What you hear
What you feel what you desire
Nature is complicated just like you and me
Come with me… Let’s conspire....

    Congrats Reine, Good feelings, Imagination and Presentation.

    Yes, life is much more than our vision, view, thought and imagination.
    It is like a cricket game, the opportunity is to face either several balls or to get out early. The option to play either aggressive or defensive,
    Hit sixes, fours, singles, stay idle and to get out.
    It is a struggle to survive and succeed in the field, with a particular role to play, for a while. Life is a relay game passes from generation to generation.

    The Creator of both visible and non visible things (being the all rounder) has distributed talents as his investment and will reap the crop at the end, by rewarding us according to our act, performance and achievement.
    Keep your pleasent thoughts expressed through your eys. Good luck.
