Eclipse

From behind the curtains

He sneaks into my room,

Checking if I was fine;

He saw a sad smile on a dark face,

And so he realized I was not!

Deep into my soul, he spread his

Soft, gentle, and pure light.

Light is a strange feeling,

Especially in the soul; we can never escape it.

Pushed the clouds away from me,

And saw the naked truth hiding

In the sparkles of my tears.

The End

Standing on the edge of the cleft

Straying at the dark horizon  

Fragile, deep in the soul,

And like a wolf from the outside.

I breathe you, but the air won’t come in.

My heart is at peace.

My eyes are calm.

I open my hands and

The northern wind pushes me in;

I smile with peace,

And my hair flies with the wind.
