It Happens
Tired walker, fateful thought, desperate action.
You will find peace here.
Between the sky and the water, we meet.
In the prayer of a holy card.
The colors of feathers and corals dye your hair.
Breathing relaxes and syncs with the movement of the sun.
Like lace, the seabed.
A soft breeze rocks you.
The tide whispers to the tapirs the secrets of the moon.
With a brushstroke, I caress you.
Time does not exist, so don’t hurry.
There is no territory either.
Beauty is perfect, nature is perfect, and painting is merciful.
Light needs darkness, and I need you.
I hope nothing changes.
I hope everything changes.
My task is for the pain to transmute.
The brush is my wand."
