Let’s Climb A Mountain

Let’s climb a mountain,

Let’s roll down its slopes and climb it again

Only because it’s fun,

only because it makes our cheeks brighten up with a fat smile.

When the stars come out, let’s climb again,

and sit under the stelar canvas and lie down on the cool grass.

And look up and fly up, leaving our small bodies on that tiny hill

Let’s float up and bounce many times.

Let’s forget everything we learnt and start a new painting.

Let’s paint a bright background and let’s run a thick brush

dripping wet of a new colour we have just discovered,

in every direction, and let’s let it drip and splatter all over.

Let’s create a new way, our own way.

You can be as much of a creator as I can.

Let’s rid ourselves of our heavy burdens.

Let’s go skinny dipping in the pond of opportunities.

Try something new today. No, Try something new now!

Mix your own paint, invent a new paint

Improvise a brush, paint on anything but a canvas.

There are no limits but the ones you, alone, have set for yourself.

Break free, run wild,

ask yourself: ”why?“ and ask yourself: ”why not?“

believe in yourself

ask yourself: ”why?“ and ask yourself: ”why not?“
