From inside my dark room,
I watch the clouds float by.
Puffy cottonballs in the sky.
Dare I leave my safe haven
and venture outside?
Will the clouds wait for me?
I’ll wait until tomorrow.
One more day of watching.
Helmut Newton – Dans la maison de Mucha, Prague, 1989
So many books to read.
I feel faint from their scent.
How can I read all of them?
Will I have enough time?
I will sleep first.
Store some strength.
Tomorrow is another day.
From inside my dark room,
I watch the clouds float by.
Puffy cottonballs in the sky.
Dare I leave my safe haven
and venture outside?
Will the clouds wait for me?
I’ll wait until tomorrow.
One more day of watching.
TAKE ME AWAY
The beauty.
The majesty.
The brutal force.
So easy to get lost in.
To float away.
To the sound of rushing water.
Endless water.
Flowing past rocks.
Trees.
Grass.
No end in sight.
Turning into streams.
Rivers.
Lakes.
Take me away.
On your wings.
On your flight
past the mundane.
To the beauty of tomorrow.
Climb to the top of the rocks.
Look out.
What do you see?
Do you see the beauty all around you?
Do you feel that you have accomplished something?
Yes, you have.
You have reached your goal for the day.
That is enough for today.
Tomorrow is another day and another goal.
