Do your best and don't worry

When Nothing seems to happen

And You're stuck on a Desert Island

There is Something coming along, and

You'll find it sooner than You imagine

So please, no more Tears

Falling down from Your Eyes:

Do Your Best and don't worry

If the Dawn seems to be late

And the Darkness is too heavy

When your Black Dog bites again

I hear You crying de profundis:

Through Your Voice I feel Your Pain

And It's running through my Veins

For I know well what It means

Since I was eight, sad and helpless

Life is never easy

When You feel too much, yet

It's worth the Journey

When You live and don't just exist

Hear my Whisper from the Distance:

Doom and Gloom will fade away

And remember when You're too Blue

That a True Friend always stays True.

To You, from your Loyal Friend

- You know my real name -

Poem above and photographs below by me, of course.

I always find Beauty everywhere I am, even at my workplace. I admire these beautiful roses, defying November's gloom with their lively colours and delicate scent.

In the half-light of the late afternoon, in my favourite Parisian park, today.

Morrissey & Alain Whyte, He cried, from the album Maladjusted, released in 1997.
