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

The Visit
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
