Poem: " It Looks Small "

It Looks Small


When you look at a mountain from a plan ..
It looks small ..
But when you get down there ..
You will see the real thing what looks like ..
It needs days to reach the summit ..
When you see a man sitting on his chair ..
Turning the pages of an old paper ..
Don't think that he is fool ..
Or he is trying to loose time ..
Don't be judgmental till you get there ..
Ask him what : makes you read an old paper ,sir ..
And listen to his answer  ..
Don't make fool of yourself by not thinking again ..



What about a little child playing around ..
Sit away and watch him dreaming ..
Watch him flying in his own airplane ..
Watch him moving armies ..
Listening to the heart of his teddy bear ...
Don't even think to force him  stop dreaming ..
I know he looks small ..
But with time he might be the one he dreams to be ..






Everything begins small ..
And hard working makes it bigger ..
Everything starts as an idea no one knows about it ..
But with time it become bigger and bigger ..
Think about small things how to make them bigger ..
Because this is creativity ..
This is what is called invention ..
Many things are like icebergs ..
What you can see don't reflect the real thing ..
Don't underestimate smaller things ..
And remember that tree in your backyard ..
Was a small seed one day ..

Poem ;"Embrace Of Music "

Embrace Of Music

It is a matter how your body feels when it been touched by the waves ..
And how you react when you are surrounded by Music ..
Can it reach the core ..
Or can it open the safe inside ..
A safe which you always hold between the ribs ..
You can't remember what inside ..
Cause it has been along time since the last time you look in it ..
You suspect to have it again ..
The strong feelings and more nostalgia ..

Are you afraid ?!  ..
You shouldn't be ..
You know well that you can tolerate more than that ..
You once faced it, and here it repeats itself again ..
Embrace the music ..
let it helps you ..
Explore together what is that feeling ..
Maybe just a summer breeze  ..
Or maybe it is snow again ..
Let the music be your spaceship ..
Take your beloved ones ..
And travel beyond the stars ..
Watch the earth beaning smaller and smaller ..
Just leave there what annoys you ..
You can't take the trip without much music ..
Without madness ..
Without feeling the warmth of the hands touching your face ..
Without a nice word makes you forget about everything else ..
It is the magic of expressing yourself ..
Whatever the way ..
You are taking the trip ..
So feel joy in every detail ..
Feel how much love in Embracing of music   ..
