(another night)
in this clear night
so many stars in this sky
many died a very long time ago
but their light reaches us,
voices of our ancestry-
we living ,we are so tiny
and inside so wide,
filled with mystery,
related to all all beings
a night bird flutters
in the bushes, a sound
in this holy silence
you are me, tat tvam asi,
and i feel what i know,
nobody here is alone
and you, from far, fall into me
where i carry my sadness,
why can we not cross borders
not unveil the webs
in which we are clothed
and sing from our essence
sing to sleep and to wake
with grace and a smile
this smile of a child
astonished again each day,
when life is what it is:
a wonder
what else is love
but to recognize each other
and to find a child
i wished so much
you could bring a lightness
to my clumsy ways
and i'd have given
my warmth into your
so often tortured soul
now all melts together
and i feel all those
confined to prisons, camps
bomb shelters, hospitals,
to their flats in the cities.
in this time of a plague
none is alone,
we share this longing
for completeness, for healing
in this twisted world,
we sit with our demon
and with our beauty.
what then is liberty?
to open the window,
to change perception,
joy discovered inside
allowed to run free
like a horse in the fields
to let go
and to start again
in innocence
