Beyond my language

In the waters,

lines walk to the sea and back.

Sand has rivers

no hands, have the bricks,

the houses or roof,

but circles draw a line

in a country, or land,

or Heaven.

It is beyond

my knowledge,

the level of understanding,

my wisdom does not talk.

It is the deep poetry,

it is the old song

I have been composing

and I know, I am there

in arms of my past tense.
