I wanted to draw and play the guitar. But it seems I couldn't. My hands aren't just connected with my eyes when I want to draw something. When it comes to the guitar, I just don't know how to let my hand dance to the music it plays. I'm just not skilled or rather patient to learn these.
But looking back, I guess these just stem from two things, for playing guitar, I just want to sing songs while hearing the melody and notes. I could just easily sing, though I'm not good at it, but it would be awesome as well to play it right. I want to sing some of my poems as well, but my inability just holds me back. I'm not going to stop writing and thinking of poems though. It's just what I like to do. Even without music, poetry will live in me. So says the fool.
As for drawing, I tried a few days back drawing but I just really can't. Some angles and lines just wouldn't match with what my eyes want to see to what my hands are tracing. Then my trivial of idea about cloud tracing came back to me. Why not let my eyes draw as my hand just follow through. Tracing, right?
Back in my school days, when our professor lectures us about then trivial matters, I was looking up the sky, tracing the clouds. My eyes are drawn to the passing clouds and my hands just caught interest on dancing on my notebook. I remember I even draw a lion's head just by doing this. But most of the time just certain trivial things.
Few years hence, and a few days back from the present, I decided to trace. I looked at prospect and just let my hand dance on a piece of paper. Suddenly I could draw. Not too good, but a bit better than how I usual doodle. Unfortunately, static objects and objects like the cloud that move ever slowly are just what I could deem worth drawing. I tried drawing a cat, but didn't end well. I want to draw other people too. But my eyes would just be rude to stare.
I wish to see the clouds again. And perhaps, like a music, my hands will dance again on a piece of paper. I wonder what will I draw once more when it happens.
