This sunset is a reminder of my last year’s vacation. I read a few poems today and I think this poem is very appropriate for this picture.
He who becomes a slave to habits dies slowly,
who sets the same limits every day,
who does not change the routine,
who does not dare to change colors,
who does not speak to those he does not know.
He who flees from passions is slowly dying
and their strong emotions,
which make the eyes light up
and revived lonely hearts.
He who does not change his life is slowly dying,
when he is dissatisfied with his job or with love,
who, for safety’s sake, renounces possible happiness,
who does not follow his dreams
who does not allow himself at least once in his life
run away with a smart advice.
He who does not travel, who does not read, dies slowly.
who does not listen to music, who does not find grace in himself;
He who destroys his own love dies slowly,
who does not allow to be helped,
who spends his days moaning over his own pitch
or over the incessant rain.
Slowly dying anyone who abandons a plan before trying to carry it out
who does not ask about what he does not know
who does not answer when asked about what he knows.
Don’t allow yourself to die slowly!
Take a risk and make your wishes come true today!
Live for today!

Do the right things. Fight for the value around you. Never forget to smile! love the poem!!!!
Thank you very much for your kind words. We have to fight all our lives.
Dylan Thomas said (he is my favorite poet) “Do not go gentle into that good night, rage, rage against the passing of the light!”
I very much agree with his words.
so do I, they are a path forward and one I choose to follow!
Are you remembering your last year´s holidays because we cannot travel this summer???? It is not good to travel this summer with the pandemic.
You are right. I doubt I will be able to go on vacation even though I have a vacation planned only in September.
Perhaps the situation improves a lot this September. Where are you going if you want to say it???
I, too, hope to improve the situation. I would go near Zadar (Croatia).
A strong message surely. Hibernating is not the way to live
Thank you, Grace. I agree with you.
Nice photo and a powerful message in the poem. I often read poetry.
Thank you. I also read poetry many times. I really enjoy reading.
