Instant thoughts - in words and colors

"To be or not to be - that's the question!" To strive and struggle? To be a wizard or a muggle ? To follow your own dream Or to go with the stream? I’m asking everyone – But only an echo of silence is what I hear. I feel the breath of life so near And somehow strange and weird – It makes me shiver from fear. Would I wake up one sunny day And find out in dismay, That the only thing I did was to obey, Because I lost my chance to seize the day? I see it now – the key is to act in life, To be a leader strong in order to survive. And not to worry what other people think, Just come on stage, smile and wink.

Do you remember           our long night talks? Do you remember           our sunny fresh walks? Do you remember           our jumps and plays at school? Do you remember           how we broke the rule? Do you remember           all the songs I sent you? Do you remember           all the gifts I gave you? Do you remember           my happy smiles and eyes? Do you remember           how I melted your heart of ice? Do you remember           the night at the seashore? Do you remember           what I swore? Do you remember           last Christmas and New Years? Do you remember           all these moments dear? Oh, please, remember,           don't forget our story! Oh, please, remember           our time of precious glory! But please, remember,           it's gone, it's past time now. I will too remember           and before the past I'll bow.

Smile. Come on, try it. It is easy. OK, this is dreadful. I will close my eyes and you will smile. Now do it! I don't see you smiling and I don't feel it either. Smile. For me. For them. For yourself. OK, you are a fake. Let's try another thing. Think about your first kiss. How was it? Scary? Funny? Embarrassing? No matter what the answer is, you are smiling now. Think about the first time someone special told you they love you. Were you surprised? Were you happy? Did you forget who you are, what you were going to say, where it all happens? I feel you smiling. The smile you give me now comes right from your heart. You remember being happy, warmth and light spread in your body until they reach your mouth. And then you smile. You are so beautiful that I feel the urge to smile too. Never stop smiling.

I close my eyes and let my thoughts run free through my mind. Bright pictures of seen and unseen wonders, existing and fictional, beautiful and terrifying. And a voice whispering rhymes and phrases in diverse languages, inspiring me to grab a pencil and let the words roll over the sheet of paper. So here I am. And this is my world. In words and colors.
