What would you say
To the world
If you could?

Would you say
I love you?
Would you say
Be good?

Would you tell your secrets?
Would you tell a joke?
Would you be afraid to speak
Lest you misspoke?

What would you say
If you knew you’d be heard?
How would you choose between
So many words,
So many different
Forms of expression?

As for me
I would ask the world a question
Ciel Noir Apr 2019
I read a message
Written on a screen
In a dream
Three words

‘Everyone is agnostic’

Sometimes dreams tell the truth

The rabbit
Is swept up into the sky
By the golden hawk

Trembling
But for the very first time
Not afraid to fall

Compared to other animals
I think that humans are quite strange
Whenever we look at the world
We think about what we can change

We live in snow and build houses
We shave our fur and wear fur coats
We feed our babies formula
And drink the milk of cows and goats

I wonder how our life would be
If there were someone else like us
Who could not live in harmony
And used their tools to alter us

I wonder what we would become
In the hands of the powerful
We who have turned to dogs and cats
The children of lions and wolves

When you are in love
It does not matter
How beautiful other people are

Even the brightest star
Fades into the light
When the Sun shines
Ciel Noir Apr 2019
I am afraid
To make a mistake
But the longer I wait
The more I make

To wait makes haste
And haste makes waste
If I start now
It will be OK

Water takes its time
Water takes its turn
Water does not catch fire
Water does not burn

Water works together
Better than alone
Water washes walls away
Water cuts through stone
