Sewing

I'm neither the mirror nor the reflection
I'm neither the presence nor the absence
I'm neither the fool nor the sage
I'm neither the seeker nor the finder
and
I'm neither the sky nor the cage

I am someone I haven't been
since
I am somewhere in between and something unseen
But if I do know a thing
is that
I am sewing what I am with the not's that I keep clean

Thrive

Light thrives in the dark
by finding its way through the brenches
of a dense forest

Light thrives in the dark
by passing through the windows
of a wintered house

Light only strikes you
when you finally get to know
projected on the path you've always walked
your long buried shadow

Undress

A river that stops running becomes mud,
and so do we,
a soul that stops changing
does not become what it was born to be.

There comes that time of the year again,
when trees know better
to see what has been hidden by
the breeze and the blaze,
one must undress the unnecessary weight,
to face the days that get shorter
there is no other path to ride
may death and rebirth be blessed
by a light on the inside

Dust

In the veins of the giant lies the truth
along the rocky lines that meet the busy sea
where foreigners forget to look
Within the veins of the giant lie the lonely trees
beyond the maps and checklists
there are winds that speak
the past, the present and future
there are winds that whisper
the nothingness of you
laid bare against eternity

Cycle

Blessed are those who die and are reborn at every full moon
Savoring the essence of the universe that sows everything
Touching the matter of the soul,
the one that moves, the one that stings
They live a life in a second while mirroring themselves in uneasy waters
that shine like 28 Venus before the dawn
And in the very instant before blindness
blessed are those who close their eyes to see
written behind their own eyelids
the glow of 28 Venus
for
inside and outside
reflection and reflected
Have always been connected

Sacred Hell

I'm naked
My eyes become the gate to the tapestry of life,
shifting waters, temporary islands
of dirt
you cannot trust
I'm surrounded
Shadows of the flying oceans fighting the heat,
mother almighty, kissed by all power
of connection
you cannot beat

Through the gate you see
The truth held by the Amazon
in its everlasting clouds
as they sing and dance to the drums of the soil
and cry, always cry
all the way to the source

I'm human
I mourn and I mourn
every and each soul
that got lost in the distractions of the ego
I curse and I curse
every and each hand
that tore down that gate
for pieces of colored paper

I'm everything
The us that didn't run from the truth of being
The us that became them after the sea routes
Lips and eyes that are entire bodies
Bodies that touch harmony
and see through the past
becoming one
with wild, roots and sap

All the time back

Where have you been my child?
I can't smell the beauty sitting on a couch
Where have you been hiding?
I can't see the wild disguised in my garden

Did you run from the hunger I caused you?
Did you try to cry and I didn't listen?
Well, I can't recognize whispers in my ears from an inch without you here

I know I chose a path you couldn't walk
But if you close my eyes I'll hear my way back

Is it light you need?
Is it my old voice you long?
Does it take complete silence to meet again?
'Cause I can, I can go all the time back

How have you been singing?
I stole your voice but haven't been able to speak
How have you been pleased?
I stole your smile but haven't been able to breathe

Did I think I could save my time if I didn't see it passing by
Did I try to stay afloat because diving was to difficult?
Well, now I'm drowning as my favourite parts of me die

I know I chose a river you couldn't swim
But if you breathe me in I'll dive into the stream back

Is it light you need?
Is it my old voice you long?
Does it take complete silence to meet again?
'Cause I'm going all the time back
