I come at three in the morning
I gaze at your tired, aching body
There were once strong muscles
protecting those you loved
from the cold
from the painful
flow of things

People are beautiful beings
meant
to exist
meant
to go away

Don’t be afraid
It is I who take your breath
when the time stops
I will take all of you
leaving them the body
so they could return it
to the ground
at the beginning
of a new life

I am here
I embrace tenderly
without dogma
without future
with silence
in stillness
with
unconditional
love
Sarra Jan 2019
Visit after visit
the view never changes
The distant sound of angry waves
far behind the old wall,
still standing
The birds chirping
hiding in the old tree,
still rising
You
lay in its shadow
showering in the smell of Primrose
covered in a sheet of blue Tulips
I caress the cold grass at your feet
giving up to the old habit
I send a little prayer
for you
then I dive into the sea
this sea of innovation,
of modernity,
of madness.
No looking back
I know you'll be here, unwavering
in the graveyard
