The brightest silence

The brightest silence

In a bright open sky, she did not turn away.

Her body is open, the mind small and her soul

is warm, great and full of insight.

The moment was there, totally unexpected

and I could hardly tear it all apart.

But the shoulders are like a dozen pillars in history.

The legs went through the oldest earth, and back.

She would not give in to silence.

In all of my heart, a smile loved me more

and even less, she loves to see me, over there.

I wondered, why I could be touched,

why I would be in the circle of happiness.

In my letters, I believe, I gave up on life, once.
