Life is a colourful garden
Dressed up in yellow, orange, white, rose and violet
Life is a beautiful garden
Where different fragrances wave the ones who pass by
Life is a magic garden
Showered with love and protected by the sun
Life is an unique garden
Where all sorts of flowers dance in the wind
Life is a secret garden
Are you willing to unveal it?

A walk throught the clouds
The wind messing up with my hair
Feeling the breeze on my face
And the grass cracking below my feet
I can almost guess what the sea smells like
Surrounded by colourful flowers
From all sorts of fragrances (just my imagination!)
I wish I could put all these sensantions into words.
P.S. Due to an accident, I’ve lost the smell (and 90% of the vision of my right eye) when I was a baby.
Trying to imagine the smell of things is a constant challenge.

The sun is lying on the ground
Exhausted
The sky decided to take a ride
Alone
The sea turned into orange
Capricous
The birds are running
Fast and furious
The lions show their brand new wings
Proud
Only the flowers are still the same
Are you sure?
Take a closer look!
They have a new wardrobe.

Violet dreams
Floating in a child’s head
Vanished away
By the afternoon wind
Hope has left us
Empty remain our hearts
Love is no longer au rendez-vous
We fall apart
Set me free
Make a memory out of it
Things will get better
One day
I still believe
In my childhood violet dreams.

Dear mum,
These flowers are for you
Wishing you will stay here too
You light up the saddest days
Without whining or complaints
You accept life as it comes
You believe in fairies and miracles
So do I!
I know you’re in good hands
Being alive is a blessing
Breathing is a victory
We’ve travelled around the world
My head flying between the clouds
Your feet firmly on the ground
Or was it the other way around?
We have shared long conversations
So many sleepless nights
Filled with loud laughters and silent tears
You’ve shown me that dreams have no limits
And (almost) everything is possible
You believed in me when others didn’t
You gave me the hand and pushed me further
I’m sure 67 is not the end
Your path will continue
God is patient; He will wait
We still need you among us
This year, you are not out of my sight
And always present in my heart
Distance will never tear us apart.

Purple, orange, green and blue
I am all the colours whenever with you
A wide field of beautiful daisies
Our days are overwhelming and crazy
A stunning poppy covered in red velvet
The landcsape is almost psychedelic
Forget yesterday and don’t worry about tomorrow
Life is more than pain and sorrow
Follow your dreams, they know the way
You may only be sure of today.
