To live life in its fullest
To taste the grapes of joy
To drink their wine in glasses
To feel the sweet drops,
And enjoy.

To be enchanted,
Drunken with delight,
To see the brightness of the stars,
During the dark, mysterious, cold night…

I dream of happiness and laughter,
Of rainbows shining in the sky
I dream my tears are turning into roses.
They're dropping on my pillow as I cry.

I dream of green fields, and I'm running
I feel the wind stroking my cheeks.
It dries my tears and softly whispers:
"You must break free of all your fears".

I close my eyes and I am swallowed.
Consumed,
By a gigantic salty wave
And I am floating, not resisting,
I'm only trying to be brave…

Inside the sea, deep in the darkness
I see my past, my present and my dreams,
And there's a voice, floating beside me,
It tells me: "nothing's as it seems".

At times I'm chocking, and I'm drowning
I'm praying for the coziness of death,
But when it doesn't come, I realize that
All I need,
Is a deep breath.

Snow melts

Water flows

Making waves on the pavement

Wet legs.

I am in a boat, watching the waves
When I learn the ways of the ocean,
I shall become one with it
And go to the depth of it,
In the stillness
And vastness
The boat isn't really there,
neither am "I"
The waves are only on the surface...
There's only depth...
And silence

Muscles straining
Breathing diligently
Mind focused
Within
The Infinity
Of the eternal moment

At Peace

Thoughts melting
Exposing tranquility
Body relaxed
Within  
The Balance
Of the effortless effort.

Look at this  * * *
... star, space, star, space, star, space....

The space between my fingers
the space between the inhale and exhale
the space between the waves, the ocean and the shore
The space between notes in the music
the space between all and nothing
everything comes from nothing
Nothing-at-All...

* * *

Such a miracle...such a miracle...all is...

Looking out
        Eyes
sunbathing.
       Skin
caressed
by the breeze.
        Air
enters
the lungs
       Fresh
Clear
       Warm exhale
Follows.
       Trees dance
To the heartbeat
       Of life
       Within.
