A bright new day has started
by the sound of the alarm.
You start with a cup of tea
and a shower to get warm.

After this it's breakfast time,
a slice of bread or two,
while thinking of everything
that, today, you'll have to do.

First drive through busy traffic,
leave early or you'll be late.
Second, spend all day working,
which your family will hate.

Third, have lunch while working still,
as you have no time for rest.
Fourth, you'll be driving back home
through that busy traffic pest.

Fifth, you'll be eating dinner,
prepared by your loving spouse.
Sixth is watching the telly,
sit, all evening, in your house.

Seventh, you'll just go to bed
'cause there's nothing else to do.
Then, after a short night's sleep,
everything just starts anew.

Think about it for a sec,
is this really what you want?
Gonna live a standard life?
Well, I know for sure I shan't.

Want to do things I enjoy,
go wherever Nature goes.
Want to live in happiness
instead of living my woes.

I want to see world places,
not be trapped in my hometown.
I don't want to become known
as the woman with the frown.

No nine to five job for me,
I wouldn't fit the standard.
Though I'd like that cup of tea
to soothe my poor achy throat.

I walk along the endless shores,
trying to decide whether or not
I should plunge into the depths
of what this world has to offer.

As I step upon the grains of time,
one step more sure than the other,
I wonder what life will bring me
if I continue following this path.

The timeless beach takes me closer
to the next journey across time.
The water is calm and inviting, here,
and I’m curious to know what’s beyond.

The seas of the world are full,
filled with opportunities and chance.
I hesitate to take my lifeboat
to where Life is most unsure.

While the Seas of Life are disturbed
by storms of many lives competing,
I stay afloat closer to quiet shores
where life is still, in harmony with Nature.

Yet, when I meet another Life,
one who’ll guide me along, safely,
I know I’ll follow without a doubt,
as we’re stronger with the two of us.

Together, we’ll cross Life’s oceans
and journey with purpose to our goal.
We’ll share lifeboats and experience
until we reach the end, where we’ll grow old.

Our small droplet friend
is ****** in by a root
and helps a plant grow
another inch to the sky.

Some book are dusty and old,
and since long were written.
The lovers sometimes feel cold,
but I still feel smitten.

As I love reading every book
and what really doesn't matter
is the way it starts to look
as time continues to pass.

'cause the story might be ancient,
but it will live again when I read.

Today, I drove towards the sunrise.
As the sun drew a rainbow in the sky
the world was painted in beautiful hues.
An idyllic sight I very much enjoyed.

As I drove towards the sunrise,
the sun changed faces.
From red to orange,
from orange to yellow
and all the colours in between.

While driving towards the sunrise
I would not, could not, stop looking
at all the beauty that surrounded me.
The world was peaceful, with a slight touch
of morning dew covering the earth.

Today, I drove towards the sunrise
and when it was over, too soon,
when the sun was high and yellow,
my only wish was that I could see
this gorgeous sight every single day.

Up and down the wall.
For a long stroke, the key
is making yourself as tall
as you can possibly be.

Take care not to spill
as cleaning it is a fret,
it has its own will,
even more so when it's wet.

Now it's almost done,
there're no more walls to do.
Though the paint still has won
as we're all coloured too.
