morning breath

this morning when I opened my eyes

the light was breathing the window had a pulse

as if I was a body with unmystified senses

as if I could see deeper in everything that surrounds me

perhaps a remembrance of how

difficult it was for me to be in the world

with an immense sensitivity to the slightest movement of life around me,

how wondeful to attune to the wind, the leaves, the cacophony of beautiful words and deeds, the harmony in the blinking of strangers, the sway of steps on the streets, the collapse of the waveforms of dreams that we called reality

how hard to have a mind that might understand eventually that truth is complicated or not for every creature on the walks of life.

my essence is vulnerability my strenghts is my weakness for my foolishness there is no cure

don't have to look in the mirror to recognize

my human face, your human face, their faces

late in the night when I close my eyes I see only people, the beauty of the world, the cosmos created through pain, how

the morning of the day I was born was there, and everything was already breathing before me and everything will be still spinning its mystery when this excess of life will rob a last breath from me. I know I will be watching the breath of light, how everything gets illuminated when the time is ripe
