don’t move
while i practice my whisper

purple heart
floating
drops
unknown
still
as
wind
flowing
through
motion
into
hearts

the mountain
every step i take
i’m closer to you
the way i feel you
see me
as if looking through
piercing…
did you know
you are the mountain
i intend to climb
and reach?
…after all
you are the one who
taught me
how to whisper

its paradox
ever emerging
all sides
of you
choose the
one in your now
who is
in between
your dark night
your early dawn
rising
because it knows
what to do
…next
is it the
mystery
u n f o l d i n g
its view
its paradox
that chooses
without limits
to protect you?

star on a distant paradise
where are you now
in this moment, i ask
climbing a ladder to a distant cloud
that only i know…
floating on a bubble under a wave of life?
you are crazy
with the mystery you breathe
you are the pure energy
of love
… fire mixed with water
and raindrops inside sand
you are tears and joy forever intertwined
like a bird not knowing his wings
still… after all
you know you are
the one who saved me from a distant paradise
and you are true

am i?
through words
and time
we find our way
cobwebs of fears …
clarity that whispers…
dusty ashes, long ago speaking
of time gone by
sunlight laughing
on beaches with no name
when in the end
what i really want to know is
am i worth it?

your way across
a strange rain in june
my petal stretching out
to you
when you reached for it
i leapt
and prayed
to you that you would
find your way across
to where i am

blowing dust, always touching
if only for a second
….blow the dust
……..from your mind
…………the sands of time
…………….and follow me…
did you think
this act would….
tingle your spine?……..
restrict the narrow…………
spaces that you call ‘you‘?…………….
what if this place
….your perfect harmony
……..touches the rest,
…………always essence
…………….never hindering?
your
blood….
flowing……..
just holding lightly…………

only time, constantly
something right
brought me to
carry the fire
shut your eyes or look away
i’m only time, constantly
stopping only
in a memory

why
why
you know
is because it
is your way to find
me where i am… where
the edge meets the whisper
that washes away the sands of
surrender, to touch me with patience

velvet moon
like a dream you wander
through the side of you
that gathers shadows best
but it’s in the time
in between moments
that scratch at you
and die off as ashes,
your secret revealed
when i sleep
your path is you, you know
so follow it

as it seems… there is a you
that experiences something other
like a wave with its ocean,
or a particle of air with its vast space
as if you, the wave
join with the other, the ocean
and yet,
also absolutely
something larger

a deeper order
create me like i created you
in the space
which lies deeper than you know
it is where, you see,
i first found
the concept of your
decision
to think outside your unexpected life
and roar instead
impactful.

where do you go?
where do you go at night when i think you are sleeping?
i looked under my pillow
but you weren’t there…
i hear you
and feel you
especially when
the nocturnal
start to stir
and tell me
you are here
again…
just listening

wander
wandering free,
yet expressed…
come with me to see how
somewhere between the wild
and the calm,
i know you
as you are
you.
