I fell
Down
Downwards
Slowly
Slowly through this thick, dark, muddy water
I drowned
Slow
So slow
Oh no
This disgusting, dirty, messy pool
I feel with my hands
I touch something
A ball
A round hard ball
I rise holding it
I rise with it
Air
Fresh air
Sky
Blue sky
I found an ivory pearl
A perfect, glowing, enchanting pearl

Finding home
I’m finding a home
Without odour
Without nuisance
Finding somewhere
To be my home
A few pairs of worn shoes
A whole backpack of melancholy
I hug myself
So cold, so warm
I dry my tears
Helpless then back to fearless
Finding home
Searching the world
Somewhere I’m cherished
Somewhere I’m the priority
Finding a place
To be my home
Volumes of heart-to-heart journals
An overwhelming number of snapshots
I searched the world
For years on my own
I’m my home
So I thought

Love is letting go
Simply agree, no is a no
Love is giving up control
What we had goes on yes I know

Some are journeys
Some are destinations
People appear
People leave
Always at the right time
Always for good reasons
They might be different
They all bring lessons

Step into
Sink deep
A sea of choices
An ocean of scenes
Everything makes sense now
A contentment never before felt
Pages, personalities
Endeavours, wishes
All those years
Every corner
All those ideas
Every catch
Dive
And let thy feet
Millenniums hence
Be set in midst of knowledge

Step back
To look further
Pause for a while
To think faster
There are no rules
Just truths
There are no limits
Keep your pursues

I look at you
A blurred face
Can’t tell where your eyes are
Or where your mouth is
I look at you
A figure
Whether you’re weeping
Or smiling I have no clue
I stand here
I stand tall
Thanks to you
