    Unpretentious Dreams


    How hard it is not to say too much
    How hard to love more
    To say simple things
    Live like a river slowly eroding the stone
    Watch from the shore the distant dot
    Imagine places bathing in its light
    To see, not colors, not shapes, not the sea
    But the simple life glistening
    And hovering like a bird
    Full of unpretentious dreams
    Satisfied only with the ability to fly

    -Dejan Stojanovic
