...So far...so close...

...No clouds in the sky...no wind whistles...
Sitten peacefully by the water...looking at my solitude perhaps...

Listen up, a bird is singing far far away...
A peaceful plain night it is...trees can even hear the song of the moon...

Listen up, the road is calling you start your journey...
Should not your eyes be the only light in the darkness...

Open your eyes, clean up the eyelids from all the dusts...
Wear your shoes and commence...
Roll it to the point that your fingertips touch feathers of the moon...
and to the point that beautiful songs of the night attract your soul and your body...

A wise man there will tell you perhaps:
"The best thing in the world is finding a pair of eyes covered by tears of feeling the true love..."
