ISLANDS
Leonor Henriquez Oct 2020
ISLANDS
I woke up swimming
In a vast ocean
Where words were islands
I could feel their waves,
Concentric and strong
As in island Pleasure
I found calmness
Between Sound and Silence
A bit farther
the agitation
the rough waters
that separate Love and Hate
I felt stillness between two islets
One in front of the other
the word Kiss
and the word Death.
I arrived to
Surrender
And sat calmly
For the first time
Then I swam to a piece  of land
Enthusiasm
Until a silver gull
Rescued me in its wings
And took me to a great place
An island called
Horizon
There I lay down on the shore
And stayed
