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.
