Alive

There is no pain that can’t be washed away
There is no despair that can last forever

Why wanting to be more than human?

There is no wound that can’t be healed
There is no body that can stay un-scarred

Why wanting to be alone?

There is no fear that can’t be overcome
There is no sin that has to remain forever

Why wanting to be less than what we can be?

There is always a place where we are welcome
There will always be a helpful hand where the end arises

Why wanting to leave so soon?

There is no little thing that does not contain a parcel of infinity
There is no instant of life that does not contain all eternity

Why not live?

The watcher

You

the darkness of the soul
the regret of the undone
the bitterness of the loss
the tears of wrath
the smile of pride

shall not pass

the spark of light deep in the heart
the adventure of what remains to be done
the hope in the life to come
the tears of joy
the smile of the humble

because I am the guardian of my love
because I am the keeper of the fire

And I know the dusk always follows the night

… and the sun rises.

Realm

What if

the clouds were our home
the sky our roads
the stars our friends
the lightning our bedside lamp
the rumble of thunder our love song
the night our bed
the moon our dream
the sun our hope…

Would it really be different?
