Rivers run,
and I let them take me with them
to the ocean.
Poets write,
and I follow their thoughts,
for they know the way out of the darkness.
Flowers bloom,
and I sigh along, escaping for a second
the cold hands of death.
The stars shine; they offer their light as a warm shelter
for my frightened eyes.
Painters paint, and my invisible hands are holding
an invisible chisel.
Only the colours can tell our
stories.
Birds fly,
and I am holding on to their
feathers; they lose them sometimes, but never on purpose.
Death takes,
and I don't try to stop her from taking,
for she turns back the hands of time. And it means
my salvation.
