Notes About The Poem

Coloring for adults - Kleuren voor volwassenen

- All Tears Floats Into the Ocean -

Of fire and colors a cosmic dimension is reflected
by your heart flame of polished silver

The stars shine sharply, sweet thoughts in a dream
Which travel through the vast heaven

Like the river flows safely to the sea
Why is the sea salty - perhaps tears of grief, loss and longing

These are the thoughts that fill my sleepless nights
If the dreams drift away, my passion will die
