Put some colours in your life
Make it sharp and bright!
A gorgeous yellow sky
Don’t be shy!
A cheerful blue sunrise
It’s time to be unwise!
Orange grass everywhere
We’ll get there!
A green deep sea
Just wait and see!
A red mystic hill
Just make it real!
And a violet sunset
Faultless!

Life is beautiful
And yet sometimes painful
Life is amazing
Overwhelming and dazzling
Life is a miracle
And that is formidable
Life is a rollercoaster
Full of dreams and duster
Life is an adventure
Be its inventor
Life is short
Here is all we’ve got
Life is life
And we are so lucky to be alive!

Painting is poetry that is seen rather than felt, and poetry is painting that is felt rather than seen.
Leonardo da Vinci
I dream my painting and I paint my dream.

Why do you try to understand art? Do you try to understand the song of a bird?
Pablo Picasso

Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
You are never too old to reinvent yourself.
Steve Harvey
46 years of ups and downs
The Earth keeps turning around
Friends and family are my rock
And they know what I’m made of
I’m grateful for all I have
Moving forward step by step
Joyful days, blissful nights
I keep chasing my own lights
Every detail is a poem
In a perfect tandem
Sometimes things don’t work out
That’s what life is all about
Meanwhile, l shall have fun
Because yesterday is already gone
Happy birthday to me
Living wild and free!

Man plans, and God laughs.
Yiddish proverb
Your whitelight flashes the frost to-night
Carl Sandburg
Moon of the purple and silent west.
Remember me one of your lovers of dreams.
Yellow dust on a bumble bee’s wing,
Carl Sandburg
Grey lights in a woman’s asking eyes,
Red ruins in the changing sunset embers:
I take you and pile high the memories.
Death will break her claws on some I keep.
Early early in the morning
The sun says hello
The moon is already scrolling
She knows it’s time to go
High high in the sky
A bird flies away
Oh my child, don’t you cry
I’m on my way
Deep deep in the sea
Fishes sing and dance
You’re here with me
And that’s a real chance!
Far far from home
It all seems peculiar and odd
Luckily, I am not alone
Thank you, God
Up up in the mountain
The wind is blowing strong
The water slides from the fountain
This is where we belong
Late late in the night
The sky is no longer blue
The stars are shining bright
And I’m dreaming of you.
