The Story

The deep unspoken, the vast devotion,
the blue in me I call my sea.
Its’ restless waves wrestle as an ocean
until its’ rage at last breaks free.
The silence has finally spoken,
I gaze too long, can’t even breathe.
Struck by awe in a world of slow motion.
Boundless, soundless, simply complete.

The Story

The day has come, the time has passed...
The damage is done, too much, too fast..
No air to breathe... No colors to see...
No waves to catch... No shores, No seas...
Now open your eyes, it was all a dream,
Look high to the sky, see the birds on trees...
Let’s keep them safe, let’s make it last,
The future is ours, and here is the path.

The Story

Thinking of the colors of my heart;
Where can I end and when can I start.

Between the strokes, against the light.
My heart grows red and bright.
Calling your name into the night
to grace the sky with specks of white.

Let’s try orange, maybe some blue.
Add some yellow and a greenish hue.
A fusion of colors, of strength I knew,
of all those times that remind me of you.

The Story

16 circles of hope I steer
to the 16 moons in the atmosphere.

I am happy and light.
All these moons are not enough to brighten my night.

I want to stay up another day,
Look into the sun fade away.

And start another night mesmerized
by the sparkles of the stars under the moonlight.

Come with me... and you’ll be.

Traveling in... the world of my creation.
What we’ll see... will defy explanation.

The Story

Standing alone in the middle of the night,
Gazing at the moon and its alluring light.
Pondering about his wandering heart;
Where did he go? Why are we apart?

“He lives in the land of pearls you see,
accompanied by a thought that reminds him of me.”
One can try to resist, try to hide from its kiss.
But when it’s dark at night,
you can’t help but chase the moon light

The Story

I’m smart, strong and sound;
as my heels stride the ground.
It’s time to be, to live and rise,
against the wind, between the trees.
There must be more to life
than what the eyes can now see.
I’ll run fast... I’ll run free.
You can’t tame a horse as wild as me.

Let us celebrate with the dance of spring.

About our ancestors and all their treasured glories.

said the daughter, said the son.
“But the best of our days is yet to come”.
