sometimes even
a
single
embrace
a touch
can help you build anew
…although vulnerable
as pieces inside of you
are ebbing, are fading,
you learn how to be alive
resilient, supple
and tiptoe forward
soles to the earth
step by step
to prize your beautiful
life

your path knows
i heard you say last night
while you were breathing
i vow now
i promise
to include you too,
little soul inside
i hear you
as honest as blood
flowing
it will happen
in the way it needs to
in the most unexpected
moment …
pass into the rite
it’s magic

darkened sun speaking … through what hides … deep in its cocoon
but to risk your heart opening, oh simple soul, will change your life
hold the belief of you … to be protected .. to be loved

your layers
exude
your form, solidified
a story of strength
untold
awaits
the test of time…
rolling
seeking
its mastery
within
as its mystery
hardens…
softens…
then floats
you carved me, you know
valleys breathing now
thank you
stay with me, you say
i can feel you breathe

your fingers
that reach to the sky
just told me
i’m not the same without you

write with me
… as if i’m writing you
… as if i hear only your voice
your substance, your curves, your nuances, your eyes
as if for the first time
seeing me, perhaps
as a tiny particle of life in the ripple of a pond
it’s true, i remember the stars
when we first met
did you know that the cobble stones
on our path
each covered in moss
growing
alive
know that to provide direction
to you
is to cheat you of your trail of treasures in life?
… with your warm beaming clouds
listen to them
(. . .)
i do

i just whispered,
precious heart,
that you beat in colors
inhaling all of life
but also parts that should only
be viewed as if through an hourglass
don’t worry though,
it will all be ok …
breathe with me
you have p r i c e l e s s time
on your side
so, hide with me in the beach grass
… and listen to the wind and the waves
take my hand and join me
in the rest of our lives

with earthly eyes to see
there is only the truth
trust our sun light
it makes life

i transmitted
my thoughts to you
just now …
eyes at sunset
never stop penetrating
the everlasting moment …
just bow your head and be silent

dear time,
as epic as you are
you tick your way
through my ways of being
… yet not
i have a secret though
preferring the mist, the unknown
(that remains still
that remains silent)
i always find a way
to ignore you

be careful, don’t forget
you are gazing at the light
as you search for meaning
horizons, expanded…
i come to you without me
without a sound
hidden behind no door
…enough of words
you are my precious moments,
revealed,
rising together with us
as parts

before you knew me
i felt you …
knowing me,
piercing me
to the core
with a secret
unspoken
let me know when
you’re ready
to do it again
remember, i’m your innuendo

when the shadows
pass by
the cracks

…the ones that tell the stories you forget…
can i be your wings?

it all matters
my fragile soul broken, speaks
to me
hiding once…
don’t you realize that
we are already healed?
delicate you are, beautiful moment
elapsing yet not
your possibility never forgotten
saved in my heart, as you…
the flower that i pass
knows how to live
as time stops
in its waltz
it tells me–hide with me
in my competence
that needs no prestige
only being,
only tenderness

the edge of you… is deeper
because you have lived
beyond your tenacity
letting breathe
your heart, my pain
your strength, my tears
your solid form, my shattered intellect

it would seem
that as it goes
there is no
color before the storm
we stand together, all good
with wonder
is there another way
that’s right
to shake my mystique?
speak to me now
in the only way
you know how

collide with me
particle, you are
and i will
…forever
be changed
in a moment
where you imagine
you live in the same wonder
that i do
