peace

whereever i am

i am alone

and wherever i am

i long for call it heaven

or call it death

i long for my home

in the stars

as you do

and wherever i am

i have longed for you,

to touch me,

to walk home

together with me

i have longed

to love you

as i love myself

to live and to die

with wonder:

and love is wonder

i have longed

to love you

more than you

love yourself

to take you to the river

where we can swim

and flow into the sea

slowly, unerringly,

firm, hand in hand

i have i think

longed for you

before i was born

and i was born blind

and i lived in confusion

in anger, in loss, in pride,

in words and in thoughts

now i am here

i have been with you

before you were born

and i will stay.

there is nowhere

else but fate

with my last smile

i want to meet yours.

a kiss is a kiss,

time is not real.

and though we must die,

we can grow now

as flowers rise out

of dry tree stumps

and find peace

in the dance with the wind,

silently moving here,

caressed by shade and sun

until we sink into the 

green grass and sleep

unforgotten by dreams,

singing at night

we will go

and it will  be good
