Poems to embrace, a sacred space.
I
Still, there are
There are places
where life shine even brighter
There are times
when moments reveals themselves.
As universe pearls
as loving memories to embrace.
Eternal flames
that still today
burn with passion, love and intention.
Touch with subtleness,
tender and affection.
II
Interconnection
Life ask when.
I ask why.
You look at me.
And answer speaks to you.
III
In infinite worlds
Infinite worlds
merge as one.
Subtle ones,
touch the sky.
Your world is mine.
Mine us yours.
We are but one,
in infinite worlds.
IV
One day
One day the fear,
will wash away.
One day the shore
will kiss your way.
One day the world,
will undo the harm.
And our heart,
will dance the drum.
Ancient drum of peace.
Ancient drum of you and me,
becoming one whole, unite full dream.
V
Breathe
Through the shores of quietness
and the storms of fire.
Through the dance of flames,
and the cradle of waves.
Through the heart and the unknown,
and even beyond.
Breathe will be.
Breathe the air.
Breath the land.
Breathe you in.
VI
Step
Step ahead.
Step beyond.
Step above.
Step inside.
Step fully.
Fully you.
Step your love,
and share the way.
We want to listen
your own step.
VII
Once again
Once we were.
Once we shared.
Once we loved,
and then we hated.
But maybe, once again.
What we did,
we can undo.
What we forget,
we can recall.
What we are,
we can become.
Once again.
From hate to love.
And even beyond.
Once again.
Love evermore.
VIII
I hear your voice
I hear it while I sleep
I hear it while I dream
I hear it, while I'm awake.
I hear it, and I wish I could understand.
I wish I could learn to talk your way.
To unwrap the meaning of each word.
To reveal the message they conceal.
I hear it.
I hear you.
I hear your voice.
Can you hear my wish?
IX
Mountains
Mountains above
the path become one.
Mountains below
the ways become one.
Mountains and valleys,
pathways and alleys,
they all share their values.
Their purpose.
Their manner.
They open the door;
they tell us: explore.
X
Waters
Waters of sorrow,
clean our heart.
Waters of the world,
take care of our home.
Waters of the shore,
paint forever more.
With colours of love.
With whispers from love.
XI
The way
The way follows its sway.
The dance in the stage.
The river further away.
They all go.
Fearless.
Into the unknown.
Into the vast still to be known.
XII
Stars may become
Bodies and souls.
They all sing their song.
As people who wander.
They spoke, they talk.
They reach the sky,
following one sun.
Stars may become.
Bodies and souls.
They all sing their song.
XIII
Listen
Listen to yourself.
Listen to the bird.
Listen to the wind,
and also to the herd.
Herd of sheep.
Waves of light.
Stones of ancient times.
Waters that allow the tides.
Listen to the world.
As all speaks your tongue.
Listen to your heart.
As he knows your part.
XIV
Wings of love
Wings of love,
spread across the globe.
Wings of love,
reach up to the sky,
and become our guide.
Wings of love,
we trust, and we hope.
We step and hop,
right into the hole.
