THE GUTS TO BE ALONE WITH YOU

Lonely day.
Naught beyond thought.
A secluded critter,
merely talking to the inner self.
I can barely figure out
my own feelings.

The day seems longer.
Regardless of aught I do or say,
things remain unshaken.
Life passes by and time
slips through the fingers
as a trickle of a stream.

The mind wanders and imagines
in a blow, how life can have a sweet taste.
I hear the speed of the wind,
I stop and breathe. I sit to see whatever
the sight may reach. I smell the garden's balm.
The enchanting spring blossom flourishes.

I grab this unique chance of solitude. I dive deep inside and discover the greatness of being
in touch with all one's nature. The twilight came,
and I don´t want to go back. Wherever it takes me,
there are no ends into nothingness.

FLOATING OVER THE WAVES

The swimmer floats over sea waters
while the dazzling sunlight
scatters gold nuggets
on the crest of the waves.

The skyline view guides
the swimmer strokes
while he slides
in the rhythm of the waves.

Though surface stormy waters,
the ocean's dephts remain calm.
As your inner self should ever
endure in its deepest silence.
