TRAVELLING IN THE STORM

Naked in the wind

The love of touch

caressing the pines of the earth

melting the heart

seeping the relief arriving

with peace.

 

 

The dancing of wild manes

tearing to the centre of this earth

casting shadows on this sensuality

masking the beauty

of this moulded mountain.

 

 

Satisfy the thrust of the well

project the forces you hide

Don't go to sleep yet

crown this peak of existence

give it the end that feels like death.

 

 

Wallowing in the gusted rain

a portrait of Eden dorned in diamond

the crescendo matching the birds

Waiting, reaching but the pit endless

to capture the stars in one scream …
