As the sun kisses the moon,

Away from other people’s eyes.

I bless you with grace

Divine light.

I bless you

As the sun kisses the moon,

Away from other people’s eyes.

I bless you with grace

Divine light.

How beautiful the moonlight is tonight,

Full, sun-kissed.

Life is magic, never stop

Tidal cycle.

Please your cold heart

To heal, heal, through

The love I send him.

Cast out all the shadows of the past,

Darkness, hopelessness, anger, fear.

I summon the sleeping ones

Emotions, it’s time for love,

Wake up!!!

***

I am

My religion is love

The body is a temple, a refuge.

Eyes are the windows of the soul.

I learned to love

Themselves, not from selfish ones

Reasons, but that I could

Receive and give love.

I take the mask off my face,

Heavy excess makeup.

It’s me, one of the beings

Of the Universe and Mother Gaya.

Vibrating, immortal energy

In a mortal body.  There is not

a cage that can be restrained

Spirit, nor a solution to the problem without

Illusions.  I’m not afraid of loneliness,

Cosmic providence, gives me everything

Necessary, at any time.

The universe does not speak human language, it does

Knows my priorities through the frequency with which

I vibrate. I release everything negative, unnecessary,

To be a better version of myself, as an end and a beginning.

Death and resurrection.  My priority now is love,

Kindness, light and peace.  I’m not looking for myself

Nothing, what I need, will just find a way.

To you

You’re tired baby

I’m preparing a bed for you.

You long for a dream

Breathing, heartbeat.

It will rain, the body hurts, feels

Change, the burden of time.

Hands know sore spots

By life, contorted for years.

Neck, nape, back, feet.

Old albums, faded pictures,

Children became people.

Home, roof, security, intimacy,

Silence speaks in an unspoken language,

Can you hear her…? Seductive, captivating,

Soothing, mild. The wall clock is ticking

Time, seconds, minutes, hours.

Big raindrops fall on the window.

Head on shoulder, resting comfortably. Sleep,

Tonight I am a guardian, a protector, a safe haven.
