You think I don’t know life is hard? Of course life is hard, heartaches are painful; illness is terrible, the death of those we love is terrible. There is a sentence of Goethe which is admirable: “Whatever it is, life is beautiful, whatever it is!” Naturally I know very well that it is hard and cruel, and I know very well that it ends in death, but it is a joy to live. Jean d'Ormesson

I got a sunburn

In summer

And now I am cold

I walk on a field

Covered by flowers

Of memories

Dressed with thorns

Of incomprehension

And surrounded by a fog

Of silence.

Atmospheric music

Is like an ocean

And I'm an addict

Drowning but present

Atmospheric music

Is like a bubble

Notes are cuddles

For the soul

So don't

Take me out of this pool

Not yet.
