Little Sweets...

for big dreamers!

Life has loose steps sometimes... 
and we keep going with small steps in the right directions...

you don't have to be everywhere
you don't have to know everything
you don't have to sing all the songs
you don't have to know all the moves
you don't have to call all the names
sometimes you just have to stay, to fall asleep and let the world in is spinnings,
and I'm sure somewhere in is turns and spins it'll bring you good feelings!

...

Little somethings

always call for big dreams

Take lucky steps

into rainy days...

I found myself at this train station, full of bags around me,
surrounded by a silence...
hair up, eyes up, dreams up...
I think this was a piece of a memory that got stuck in my mind,
and I really don't know how this thought found me...
But,  the train arrives, and the bags disappear,
and I go with them... and fall asleep with
this mechanical sound and moves...

Shh let it be, don't move,
be quite...

 shh take a deep breath, look up

these are just lost thoughts,
not lost dreams...

...

rainy days bring...

For the ones that found this place ♥

I found...

my head in the clouds...

I feel I'm levitating...
My head is lost in those clouds, my heart is pumping slowly in the sweetness of these slowly days...
Try to walk, but my feet don't touch the ground...
Feel cold, hold me closer, share this loud laugh with me, and this soft warm words...
I found this place where our eyes never get tired,  where our voice sounds like is singing and days are endless...

Save in your memory what your eyes are giving you...
One day this pictures will come back to you, warming your heart 
with that feeling that only good memories bring.

there is this silence...

 shhh...
