Poem: Will you know how to touch?

 


The reflections you leave of yourself
Are unique to the watchers themselves
The image you seek is out of your hands
The world an illusion to comprehend

Your body swimming in the melody of the heart
Time slows and speeds, every thought, every emotion stays
Either it builds up or it flows onwards
The pictures are yours to cherish

Your soul searching for the meaning of words
Hearing what is said in between or not at all
Your heart reaching for pieces of itself in various ways
Always yearning for a feeling of home, wherever and whatever that may be

Life isn't a series of expected and anticipated events
You'll get lost in where you never knew you could get lost in
You'll be thrown in the water, but if you find your calm
You'll see you knew how to swim all along

Monsters in the closet will drag you down
But you'll learn that fear is there to overcome it
You may recite all wisdoms, but they are worth nothing
If you can't implement them in your life

 

Your life like a dream will vanish into thin air

Feed your curiosity, may the path lead you where it will
Unlock the strength of spirit hidden inside

Explore the space in which we exist


Love, above all, love; love yourself first,
Words are not enough, but they are a note of the piano key
That lets all the wild things of the heart loose
Eyes are the place where magic begins

 

Take care of the land around you,

deep in the forest are lessons waiting for you

You're not separate, you're one with it, with everyone around you

Touch gently but firmly, naturally.
