You believe
that the world turns clockwise,
that trees are happy,
that the earth is an orange,
you believe
that the heart is the city
which never sleeps,
that the oxygen needs you
for breathing,
that the samba lurks in Brazil,
you believe
that you think by yourself,
that books are eternal,
that the chance it is to wait
for a friend in an airport,
you believe
that you inhale,
you believe
that you are spiritful,
you believe
that the dawn speak about your language,
you believe that the earth
turns around the money,
you believe
that a woman is in love
when looking at the night,
you believe
that you know the winter,
that you understand other ones,
but nothing looks like you,
you believe that you are alive,
the glance of a woman proves to you
the opposite,
to create the evidence
that the world is hung on
in the branch of a tree.

I am reminded how fleeting the moments in our life truly are.

Nice thoughts, islander~

Yeppers! I "believe"! Hmmm, however, I believe the world is a watermelon ~ not an orange!

Enjoyed the flight of ideas, thoughts, and images.

"the world is hung on
in the branch of a tree."

~ and that must be one heckuvvabig tree! Oh, that must be the "Tree of Knowledge"!

Happy New Year to you mon ami cher!

Yes Serenade, we should be more philosopher sometimes and consider life as magical and brief.

have a nice day
