This Day
By Nicolay Brovcenko, Australia
The thunder claps
Are gone for ever.
Greyness, dullness -
No!? - No more!!
What a surprise!
There is! a brighter,
Warmer future.
The seas can rise,
The fury rage.
It won't diminish
The zest of mine.
Experience --
Sensations --
And Emotions --
All mine! -
To use once more
And to enjoy.
The thunder claps
Are gone for ever.
Greyness, dullness -
No!? - No more!!
What a surprise!
There is! a brighter,
Warmer future.
Fantastic,
Rays of Sunshine --
Fresh breeze --
Pure flow of air--
And extra breath is real!
With frontiers gone,
New breath of vision.
And yet...
So old,
And yet...
So very fresh and clean.
The thunder claps
Are gone for ever.
Greyness, dullness -
No!? - No more!!
What a surprise!
There is! a brighter,
Warmer future.
The sounds -
So crystal clear,
So pure.
Like never heard before.
Music, gentle music
The melody so sweet.
The symphony evolving
New composition
At my feet.
The thunder claps
Are gone for ever.
Greyness, dullness -
No!? - No more!!
What a surprise!
There is! a brighter,
Warmer future.
Like burst of sunshine,
So happy one can be -
For simple things -
For things --
One could "never" dream of.
Without help --
Without knowledge --
Of being cause
Of knowing what to do.
To re-experience and know
The step to take,
With gentle indication.
What's there, what passed.
In knowing - past creations
You can be free to play
Another --
Better Game.
With powers --
All unblocked and ready,
There are no limits--
No frontiers.
And all it takes
A little look,
A little feel.
And lots of courage
To grant yourself your freedom.
