English poem – Stranger Paths

Enough

She admired the bird flying free
The rooted tree
Yet she knew she wouldn’t want to be
Anything other than herself
To her
She was just enough

Reincarnation

We are pieces
The big bang had left
Same atoms
Finding new ways of expression
And they called it reincarnation
Then the meaning was lost

Thief

I’ve learned to become a thief

Stealing time

Rearranging their reality

To better fit mine

Shattering glass that claimed to be a mirror

Redefining truths

For all to see clearer

That I was taking back what was mine

That no one is allowed to steal my time

Any longer

Fig Tree

The fig tree by the house with no backyard

Always welcomed me

It was comforting and warm

Teaching me

A child I was

Not knowing death nor life

It taught me eternity

The fig tree in my grandmother’s house

Will always live within me

Slipping

Time is slipping away

And I hoped you would stay

But I’ll be slipping too

I wished you well

I wished you good

I’ve done all I know I could

But time

Is my enemy and time is my friend

I wished I could see it till the end

But time is slipping away

And I will be slipping too

Self Love

Don’t forget to nurture your soul

…

You lost your pieces
Those that made you, you
And now you wander
Forgetting what you loved
To do

Worth

I confused my soul

With my body

My degree with my intellect

My riches with my clothes

And I let my ego decide

What I was worth

Mother’s Love

She said she wasn’t hungry

Good Bye

The things that could never fit within a bag, are the things I desperately wanted to pack

💛

My Heart

I’ve relied on the sun to shine

The moon to come back

The stars to glow

The trees to grow

But

Each had a cycle and a rhythm

They didn’t know

How fast I want to keep on running

So my heart

I’ll have to start

With you
