Youth

Youth! An unforgettable time span in the life of a human being. A period of uncountable thoughts and feelings that crosses the path of life like thunder and lightning on a hot summers day. It's a way of liberating the mind which tries sometimes to climb mountains and often finds valleys while stumbling over fiery logs laid down by itself.
There happens to be the first love - this forever cherished love that places itself in our heart joyfully surrounded by the incomparable smell of thousands of beautiful roses.
The future is so far distant and everything might be possible but yet it seems - without a need of achieving anything. And in the middle of a daily changing awareness awakes an unnoticed but permanent growth that will finally lead to maturity. Like creeks flow into rivers and rivers into the sea becoming a unity with the immensity of water, youth is like a living stream and the carrier of life in this everlasting circle of existence.
