My feet are the sand that the sea caresses
I long for the the sea and its assentuated curves
On the beach I place,
In the sand I lay, the naked caressed feet
Tucking away rivers that live in me.

Laugh about today and tomorrow, about what has been,
Yesterday
Laugh about being grateful, blessed and desirable
Happy
Joyful
Just laugh!
Laugh about everyday dreams, my imagination, my gives,
The pingpong ball and the train
Laugh about my creativity, my daily dances and my travels
The zigzags of life, great minds, close doors and the semicolons
Laugh about the thunderstorms and the moon, the sky and the blues, the sun and the magic
The scene on TV
Just laugh!
Laugh about forgiveness and love
The truth and the absurd, the bizarre and the groovy
Laugh about the corridor and the open door, the newspaper and its anecdotes,
The comedian and his jokes
Laugh about the plane and the bird, the earthquake and the fire
The vegetable and the supermarket
The tree and the carrousel
The dress and the shoes
Potatoes
Everything
Just laugh!
About the smile and the diner
The sadness and the equilibrium
The meal and the zeal
The pen and the cloud
The wine and the vine
The beer and the fever
The flu and the flute
The paper and the piper
Boots on the ground
Peace
Just laugh!
Laugh with me
Find something to laugh about and just laugh
Laugh, laugh, laugh until there is no tomorrow and your head aches
Laugh until your stomach stays afloat and you can’t breathe
Laugh until your life’s content and you are inebriated
Laugh and laugh euphorically and then pause,
Yes pause
Inhale
Say Amen
Thank you
I am alive because I laugh!

As the say goes, follow your dreams, the yellow brick road down the river and knock that door. Knock intensely until your knuckles surrenders. Tear through the glasshouse and take matters into your hands, no matter how long it takes, how hard it gets, the circumstances or hurdles you may encounter, just do it.
Go after it with hunger and passion in your soul. Don’t find yourself regretting yesterday, reflecting on what could have been, crying miserably while binging on a pile of bananas.
Live your life intensely or whatever pace your boat flows, whether big or small, enjoy what it brings. Engrave your aspirations on the curvaceous wall and let it stretch.
Ask for it, put it out there and let it be. It may take years, journeying itself in the open ocean, pulling and grabbing perks. Eventually, you will unearth yourself at the tip of that dream, querying on when and how you got there.
The sky is no limit when you are running down the corridor of zest. Hungry for love you are, for success you dream, for life you ride, indefinitely. Do it with your eyes closed, at sound of the water dripping from an air handler. Jump in that water, pump the gas pedal, put on your sailor’s hat and rocket that boat. Push that button and go for it. Dream!
Easier said than done right?! Not really. To dream is to live an ideal. It is inexpensive, unsolicited, intoxicating and sometimes, breathtaking. You don’t have to pay a cent, it is out there and barring any nightmares, you are on. Have faith. Do not buckle at first smell of defeat. Just lay quietly and if you are lucky, it will meet you shortly after your head caresses the pillow. Good night. Sweet dreams!
