Wild Horses

A horse loves freedom, and the weariest old work horse will roll on the ground and break into a lumbering gallop when he is turned loose into the open.

Gerald Raferty

With flowing tail and flying mane,
Wide nostrils never stretched by pain,
Mouth bloodless to bit or rein,
And feet that iron never shod,
And flanks unscar’d by spur or rod,
A thousand horses – the wild – the free –
Like waves that follow o’er the sea,
Came thickly thundering on.

Lord Byron

Blame it or praise it, there is no denying the wild horse in us.

And so she flies…

Reprise

Borboleta de alegria
Papillon d’amour
Sogni di farfalle
Mariposa revoltosa
Butterfly over the sky.

You live
You have fun
You try
You love
You run
You wave goodbye

You fall
You breathe
You change
You remain
You forgive
You say it all

You learn
You get old
You cry
You keep the faith
You burn
You die.

Happy birthday… to me!

45 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!

If it takes more than 5 minutes, it’s not graffiti.

Mint Serf

I laugh at the way some people think graffiti is all selfish tagging and vandalism. Thoughtful street art is like good fiction – it speaks out on behalf of everyone, for us all to see.
