A space in a moment
Yesterday I was no very different from today
that has been an important learned lesson
I heard an old song of Billy Joel
which now I understand a little bit better...
Sometimes I look at the life of famous poets
and I feel like stealing a bit of that
none can't blame me for wishing attention
I was left behind so many times in my life...
Instead I write with no purpose at all
just because I want and because I can
I don't know when this need started
but I know it has helped me to get here...
Sometimes I look at the life of famous painters
and I feel like getting a slice of that as well
then I remember Van Gogh and his ear
and I get afraid to end up like that...
So I continue painting some of my weird faces
not knowing why they are in my mind
but I know if they need to tell me something
for the first time I am really willing to listen...
Yesterday I was no very different from today
waking up early to write and then go to work
anybody could do the same
life is a space in a moment in which many of us fall.
