as we paddle quietly across the river Nile
the air is humid but it is flowing and blowing
as it touches our hot, sun covered skin
it is cooling and refreshing as we move
our tired bodies, reviving our sunken spirits
that are ready to sprint in the air
as we walk slowly in a timeless thick forest
covered with green canopy of trees
we can hear the birds as they tweet their daily drink
of fresh sweet dew from the drying leaves of
the all time favorite evergreens that thrive
even in the coldest and deepest of winters
slowly as we try to walk in a secluded beach
the sand suddenly is so intense that it won't record
the footsteps that we ever made making us lived
like nomads, like a nobody in a disappearing world
no clues, no marks, no signs, no sound to remind us
that we ever existed in this planet earth
as your hands play with the strings of your guitar
the melody is familiar but it did not reach the beat
like appointments that are just illusions marked
with words that did not pass the test of time
for it is a mirage that dies as you get nearer
and nearer for its life is a lie
new year, new hope, new dawn
are you really there
new song, new beat, new tune
are you really made to entertain
or are you just one music
that will slowly fade
as the sun sets in the east
and bids its farewell...
new year are you really hope
but that... as it's always been...
it remains to be seen...
love and music are important, we all knew that :) top dawn art is from the www and the bottom art is by the filipino great master painter, amorsolo. hmn, "amorsolo" would that be "one love" translated? then this man was a keeper, laughs, plus a great artist, just wow!
