Ordinary Life

Prisoner of the TV screen
Looking for the never seen
Escape attempt from ordinary life.

Beyond the worry and the strife
Amidst the silence of the night
Clear as Monet's dream
The void is finally seen
The ordinary is the extraordinary.

No need then of exotic plans
For travel to distant foreign lands
Wrapped in clear light of this night
Fascinated with ordinary life
