A Hazy Shade of Winter


"Hang on to your hopes, my friend 
That's an easy thing to say, 
but if your hopes should pass away 
It's simply pretend 
That you can build them again "

don't forget


there is always somebody or something
waiting for you,
something stronger, more intelligent,
more evil, more kind, more durable,
something bigger, something better,
something worse, something with
eyes like the tiger, jaws like the shark,
something crazier than crazy,
saner than sane,
there is always something or somebody
waiting for you
as you put on your shoes
or as you sleep
or as you empty a garbage can
or pet your cat
or brush your teeth
or celebrate a holiday
there is always somebody or something
waiting for you.

keep this fully in mind
so that when it happens
you will be as ready as possible.

meanwhile, a good day to
you
if you are still there.
I think that I am---
I just burnt my fingers on
this
cigarette.

(Charles Bukowski)


Alles fügt sich und erfüllt sich,
musst es nur erwarten können
und dem Werden deines Glückes
Jahr und Felder reichlich gönnen.

Bis du eines Tages jenen
reifen Duft der Körner spürest
und dich aufmachst und die Ernte
in die tiefen Speicher führest.

(Christian Morgenstern)
