CATCH THE WIND
You came into my life silently.
Like the wind when caresses in passing.
As a gift you were giving me your kisses and verses
Flickering like the leaves of the high tree crowns
of the green giants.
There where the wind composes its symphonies.
The wind of happiness embraced us for a moment.
Catch the wind and ask him for me!
The harsh words were brought and carried
Away by the storm wind,
Sometimes the wind brings me
The familiar scent of your tobacco.
I have touched the breezy, cobwebby clouds.
I am singing the songs with no words
And the wind brings them to you as my gift.
Catch the wind and ask him for me.
THE BLESSED TIME
You have dressed me with your tenderness,
You keep me warm with your ardent love,
You rock me in the arms of happiness.
You have built the nest for me.
You live for me.
I have given you my heart as my gift.
Ans all me.
I love to disappear in yours arms
And to forget the time.
THE SILENCE
The silence is the ceremony
when the snow falls.
Then it is the quietest.
The silence is full of the universe energy
And it pulsates strongly when
the two are in love and keep silent,
The silence screams when you are restless,
empty or alone.
The silence is the deepest stillness.
The frosen ocean or the bottom of
the hell when the loved person dies in your arms
I feel the silence with all my senses
When by the silver moonlight I am walking
By the quiet sea and the soundless stars,
These guardians of our secrets are
Twinkling merrily.
Then I greet all those I love
And send them my hugs.
I wave with the greeting even to the beloved
ones who do not walk along with me any more.
Because they are somewhere.
There at the unknown address wrapped in the eternal silence.
The silence is the sanctity.
