Sample poems:
GENTLE TOUCH
I lay my head on the ground
and listen hard to the song of this life
a whole universe sinking in my soul
a vision of an opening dwelling in my eyes
A gentle touch all over my skin
a wind permeating secretly in me
there are stars I have never asked to admire
and a few skies above
I have never seen.
I STEP INTO THE LAST STAIR
I step into the last stair
Of this dark
profound height.
I crawl once more
until I reach the door
where all my questions arise.
I stop.
Never thinking that I have to know
all the answers.
I rise again in this journey,
and it matters.
HOW WILL THE SKY SPEAK THIS WINTER
Something falls with the first snowflakes
a new cemetery is washed in white,
I wonder: how will the sky speak this winter ...
