‘There’s A Blue Bird in My Heart’

There's a bluebird in my heart.

There's a bluebird in my heart

And I took him to the Tuesday session at the 

Smoking Cessation class, this morning,

because I could sense he was very sorry and sad.

Then I took him for a swim,

a sauna, and a sit down in the steam room

(for some sixteen to seventeen minutes).

After which we took a leisurely stroll to the Salt Cave.

And sat there for an hour or so

Breathing the clean air into our lungs

Over lunch

At La Dolce Vita

He thanked me

For an invigorating morning

And for the change to the usual routines

Of soaking him in cigarette smoke and whisky.

There's a bluebird in my heart

...… and this afternoon he's singing a beautiful tune.

Le Ballon rouge d'Albert Lamorisse

Ce film se déroule dans le quartier de Ménilmontant dans un Paris des années 1950, et suit les aventures d'un jeune garçon (joué par le fils d'Albert Lamorisse, Pascal).

The Life Of an Artist - Adebanji Alade

[carobbfad]

I want to call the person to go inside another world, in order to open the mind, to open the feeling, and to open the sensibilities. Art is not to go there, Art is to call, “Come to me, come to my heart, beat with my heart.” Because we are infinite. Do you believe that?
