................ seemingly ..

.................. unaware ..

.............................

........................................................................................

..................................... there is a time of day when things seem different.

............................................................. it's not specific as such,

................................................ it could be in the morning or at night.

....................................................................... it just happens.

........................................ a thought pops up and then it disappears again.

............................................................... a dream of this or that.

................................................. thinking of what is and what could be.

....................................................................... a child's smile,

..................................................................... an old man's wave,

............................................................... a butterfly on a flower,

.................................................................. or a star twinkiling.

................................................................. it all might cause it.

.................................................. and then sometimes i'm all on my own.

............................................................. i see a life so wonderful,

........................................................ so full of hope and creativity.

........................ i wish it would last longer and sometimes i do believe it does.

...................................................................... lives meandering,

............................................................ crossing each others paths.

................................ seemingly unaware of each other but with a common goal.

..................... i look into my friends' faces and that of strangers on the street.

....................................................................... it could be sad,

..................................................................... it could be happy.

......................... and always do i feel a certain kind of positivity creeping up.

............................................................... creeping up from behind,

...................... just about to scare me but then embracing me with a tender touch.

................................................................ i do believe i'm happy,

..................................................................... happy to be alive.

.................................................. alive at this time and in this place.

.................................... even if a bit of sadness might sometimes occur too.

......................................................... but that is simply part of it.

.... giving me the spirit of hope that takes me to places i had never before dreamed of.

..................................... the world is but a universe of thoughts and ideas.

.......................................... all of which express themselves in many ways.

. and all the time the stars and the moon just keep on shining in some place or another.

............................ just as the sun brightens up faces of people young and old,

.................................................................... angry and peaceful.

.............................. slowly the light fades and is replaced by something else.

............................................................ unexpectedly we meet again,

.................................................................. look around and know.

.................................................................. know that it is true.

............................................ but also in ways not to have been expected,

....................................................... more like in technicolor dreams.

.............................................. it's not quite real but then again it is.

....................................................................... i wish for more.

....................................................................... i see it coming.

............................................. coming down the street of a bright future.

........................................................................ it's different,

.......................................................................... is it better?

........................................................................... i shall see,

.......................................................................... we shall see,

............................................... where we shall go and where we will end.

............................. perpetuity is apparent and therefore it will not continue.

........................... a struggle of life along streets unknown and still familiar.

..................................................................... i look up and see.

.................................................................... see a star of hope.

........................................................................................

....................................................................... and i feel good.
