Following the Sky
Does one always need a pair of featherlight wings to touch the sky? Is it really so necessary to be a carefree bird to knock on the window of eternal stars? This question always floats in my mind...
My usual working day. My eyes are permanently glued to the computer screen- checking lots of weird signs I am never going to comprehend. There is a buzzing swarm of thoughts in my head. Some of those "bees" bitterly clean the glass fragments of my broken illussions. My fingers stubbornly type. Feeling stone-heavy.
Then I suddenly look through the window. And...here is it. The sky. The dark-blue sky. It smells like cold roses. I can't keep my eyes off it. Nothing else exists. Or almost nothing. I think of someone. There is a little lonely cloud melting...I don't feel my room anymore. My imaginary wings lift me away - away from my working desk, my impatient problems and urgent plans...I'm there. Far away. Where no one without the wings can ever get.
The sunrays are singing their beautiful song to the yellow leaves which are saying their last farewell...
The sunrays are singing their beautiful song to the yellow leaves which are saying their last farewell...
I'm the happiest to have my devoted friend - my sky with me, my crazy world of dreams. My flying imagination is not afraid of me. It is always with me. No matter what I am doing or how I am feeling. :) It knows no barriers. It does not need any money, rich friends or a prince on a white horse. It is free. Like a little sunray dancing through the golden clouds. And I am there...
Hello there
ReplyDeleteDear Daria, I once read that you wanted to write books. Now I can assure you that you’ll be able to do whatever you want to. I am really amazed by the way you express your feelings; that’s simply awesome. You’ll become a great writer for sure, and I hope you keep on being my friend by the time you are famous. ;)
I am really glad to be your friend. I have never known anyone as brave as you are. You have had to overcome so many obstacles and challenges in life that I am really impressed. As far as I am concerned, life hasn’t been a piece of cake for me either, but I also enjoy living life in a positive way as you do.
You also know that I like English very much, and I enjoy practicing it as much as possible, because I don’t want it to go down the drain. What’s more, thanks to the ENGLISH LANGUAGE I have known you and some other great people all over the world, thus, I am also very grateful to it for everything.
Well, as you can see, I still have to improve my English a lot. I am nowhere near as good as you are neither at writing nor doing anything, I wish I was. So, now I have the opportunity to practice it reading this fantastic blog you have just started writing. Thus, here you have an enthusiastic fan looking forward to reading everything you write.
All the best
Sergio from Spain
Dear Sergio,
ReplyDeleteI'm deeply touched to read such a beautiful comment from you! Your kind words about me and my writing warm my heart very much. Thus, I can save some money on my heating! :D
You're the greatest Spanish speaker I have ever met. I feel myself really fortunate to know you, Sergio. :)
I'm grateful to you for supporting me and believing in me and my dream. I don't know if I ever manage to write a book but if I do, I'd really like to thank you again then. :)
Love,
Daria, your devoted English idiom friend from Ukraine! ;)
When I read this posting, I felt like I was reading a poem. I did not know you are also an excellent writer!! (I already knew you are a good English speaker and a translater though)I think this explains that a good English speaker is also a good writer. It is shameful that I am not good at both. I really admire you who have a great passion to the English!
ReplyDeleteMy dear friend Asako,
ReplyDeleteThank you thousand times for your honest words!
I do not know what to say back. :D I am blushing severely.;D
I never knew I'd be called a poet. :D In fact, I wish it were really true. Maybe I am good enough to be a writer\poet in Japan? :D Well, frankly speaking, I have to work much more to make my English fluent. I am afraid all my life. :)
Daria, sure you can be a poet in Japan. I do not know if I can say this, but your feeling to the life seems to be similar to the spirit of "ZEN" in Japan.
DeleteWow, really Asako?
DeleteI would like to know more about the spirit ZEN. I must read something about it. :)
I just love expressing myself the way I feel. That's it. Maybe my thoughts are confusing at times and unclear...I am like that myself, perhaps! ;)
Thanks again for such lovely words!
Dasha, you are a fantastic writer, very beautiful poem and photos,congratulations to you.
ReplyDeleteMy lovely brother Vail,
DeleteYou are my inspiration! ;) I hope one day I might write something really decent. I really hope so!
:) Thank you my dearest brother Vail!

ReplyDeleteThere was a point, yet again, where I thought: She has it.
ReplyDeleteDear Meister,
DeleteShe has ...what? ;)
