Your Touch



Through the window of my room,
I behold the white mountains,
the sunlight beams down,
reflecting back on me.
My soul merges with the colors.
In the twilight of your beautiful city,
a lonely bird disappears in the horizon.
I feel you.

The rain starts in the hot desert,
the thirsty sand smiles.
I lay on the cool wet land,
you become my landscape,
I feel you.

But I have to be among humans;
they surround me like hungry growling hyenas,
I’m a deer trying to escape:
they close in on me,
tear my soul apart,
kick my suffering essence
like the winning team kicks the victory ball;
pieces of my being scatter in the air,
the vultures come and attack me with sharp beaks.
In the full moonlight.
the cries of my soul
shake the far skies.
I miss you.

And then you come,
gather the pieces of my soul,
clean the bleeding wounds.
Blessed in your hands,
I feel marvelous again.
Soaring to the dancing stars,
I feel you.
