Oblak Kaktusa

Nacrtaj mi nebo, ali ne ovo što visi iznad glava. Daj mi nebo što nema ime, ni boju što se pamti. Daj mi boju koju nikad nisam osetio u grudima, koja ne liči ni na krv, ni na more, ni na senku sna. Misliš da tražim previše. A ja samo tražim ono najprostije: da vidiš kako srce gleda, i kako um crta, kad ruke miruju, a oči ćute. Ne treba mi svetlost. Ne treba mi platno. Samo nebo koje još nije bilo, i ruka koja ga zna. Razneseni svemir, Vladimir Tomić, Oblak Kaktusa (Iz Ciklusa Tajnog Pogleda) Draw Me a Sky Draw me a sky, but not the one that hangs above our heads.

The Child is father of the Man; And I could wish my days to be Bound each to each by natural piety. William Wordsworth
