I LOOK FOR SOMEONE

I look for someone in the universe, not necessarily in this planet, but someone especial, who has a life, and knows to preserve it.
I look for someone who speaks the language of love, who has the reflections of poetry in his eyes, who appreciates and respects the beauty of nature, who can feel emotions while contemplating the stars, who can understand the laws of the universe, and does not go against them.
I look for someone who has the gift of the words to be able to express the sublime meaning of life and love, and who can tell in words the gifts of a human being.
I look for someone who is able to understand our kind of freedom, and above all to comprehend that no human being owns copyrights of any other one.
I look for someone who enjoys the singing of birds, the beauty and scent of flowers, music, art, and who also likes himself.
I look for someone who likes the sun, as well as the night, who likes the clouds, the rain and dew.
I look for someone who has his own philosophy, who contemplates the universal philosophy, and for their sake will live, fight and die.
I look for someone with noble ideals, which do not go around him, yet who does not forget about himself while trying to reach them, and also believes in the human kind and their accomplishments.
I look for someone who is not a slave of money or material possessions, but their owner and master.
I look for someone who delights at the other s happiness, and still does not live the other s life.
I look for someone who can learn through his mistakes, who can take advantage of a difficult simulation and find glaze and optimism at every instant, at every minute of life.
I look for someone who has a good dose of calmness, easiness, patience, love, wisdom, self-confidence and harmony, to live in peace along with the other existing forms of life and his fellow creatures.
I look for someone who always acts in peace, love, happiness, charity, faith, hope and persistence, to be useful to humanity and to himself.
I look for someone who can love God his way, and can also love the whole humanity and himself.
I look for someone in the schools of life, in canteens, in the fields, on the beaches, in the cities where I use to go, in galaxies, in the times, dimensions, finally... in the universe, to be able to link my forces to this someone, and so equally share our lives, which are lives of the universe and should not be limited to any world, but should live wonderfully well, regardless of where and how they are. |
