Passengers

We start the night

together.

With fears, hopes,

uncertain.

Hours go by

and we share intimate,

difficult  moments.

I turn my head to scan the room,

around me they all await, just like me.

Each of them reminds me of myself

while they in turn reflect on me.

Still, we remain strangers.

To each its own,

worries, thoughts, paths

and destinies or destinations.

After all it's 4 in the morning,

in a waiting room nowhere and everywhere.

So much like life.

Supernova Effect

A river flows awakening to Spring.

June makes the rain run through the woods.

Laughter flows carelessly in love.

Just as the cool Autumn wind

makes the golden-brown leaves twirl.

Tears tumble in the darkest times

but oddly enough they do so too

in the happiest ones.

All this energy flowing and transforming,

giving meaning to the world, reaching us all.

Energy out of emotion and feeling.

Energy from effort, pain and joy flow as well from you,

from you to the world, from you reaching other ones

It encircles both you and me.

Make a conscious decision to dedicate

all energy deployed by your daily efforts

to a cherished one, to the ones in need.
