«How is your work going?»

The work I do  -- the life I live,
The God I pray, the air I breathe,
The way I choose, the stairs I take,
The hand I hold, the game I play.

It’s going well, it’s going smooth,
It’s going better every day…
It’s going left, it’s going right --
At times it’s nasty, sometimes it’s bright.

The work I do -- the hearts I break,
The tears I hide, the smiles I give,
The sheep I count, the time I waste,
The faraway lips I dream to taste…

It’s falling up and standing down,
It’s tracing from the Moon, its flying,
It’s rushing, giggling, hiding, crying,
It’s waiting happily and … dying.

Life with it's paradoxes and all of its contrast. Without context we wouldn't understand joy and love. Your world sounds all mixed up in good ways lately with a acceptably nice mix of pinch and pleasure. This is very original as a poem and very good in that originality as well as many other poetic qualities. I am loving reading your work Nona. I'm glad your here.

непостоянная картинка жизни. слоbно смотришь b калейдоскоп. или наблюдаешь за снежинками. bпрочем, так и должно быть: кому нужен застыbший мир? хоть иногда b минуты эйфории нам хочется закрыть глаза и закричать: останоbись, мгноbенье, ты прекрасно! (bот, как сейчас, когда читаю Bас).

Study of intrinsics...life leaflets, consequences and uncertainties...goodness and happiness, leading to the undeniable, disturbing truth that it all one day ends..

Excellent poetic life-song...

This is such a life song, full of rythym, I can sing it out loud and feel all inside!
