Bohemia

To take the world as one finds it, the bad with the good, making the best of the present moment,
To laugh at Fortune alike whether she be generous or unkind,
To spend freely when one has money, and to hope gaily when one has none,
To fleet the time carelessly, living for love and art,
This is the temper and spirit of the modern Bohemian in her outward and visible aspect.
It is a light and graceful philosophy, but it is the Gospel of the Moment,
This exoteric phase of the Bohemian religion,
And if, in some noble natures, it rises to a bold simplicity and naturalness, it may also lend its butterfly precepts to some very pretty vices
and lovable faults,
For in Bohemia one may find almost every sin save
that of Hypocrisy.
Her faults are more commonly those of
self-indulgence, thoughtlessness, vanity and procrastination,
And these usually go hand-in-hand with generosity, love and charity.
For it is not enough to be one’s self in Bohemia, one must allow others to be themselves, as well.
What, then, is it that makes this mystical empire of Bohemia unique?
And what is the charm of its mental fairyland?
It is this: there are no roads in all Bohemia!
One must choose and find one’s own path,
Be one’s own self,
Live one’s own life.

Rain

Come on love take my hand
Let us take a step outside into the rain
Moment like this don’t come often
No, please don’t hesitate
I promise you won’t regret
                                        
Stop now close your eyes
Bring your face up towards the sky
Can you feel the pulse of the rain?
Falling down touching your face
Head to toe washing away

Hold me close spin softly
Feel the earth soften beneath our feet
Hear the rhythm playing in the air
Move your body feel my heartbeats

Come on love take my hand
This is the moment
Can you constrain?
Follow your heart listen to the rain
This is you and me
Becoming one and remain
