The Eyes Want to See
The eyes want to see
What is real,
The soul wants to embrace it
Till what was only in dreams
Becomes tangible like the pen
In one’s hand.
Words and lines
Sometimes alight like water
On summer-ridden lips.
The ears want to hear
What is real,
The dream-lyrics
And fresh melody
Rainbow of the soul.
There is wisdom in sticking to her memory
For after she has left
And every single aspect
Put in place, when the day’s
Events seem to finally
Matter, there
Is something remaining
In a small detail,
That if touched will affect immensely
The weather in another continent.
