PEACE
The sacred and secluded garden.
A white dove gently lands
on a worn tree stump.
I watch as it slowly spreads its wings,
as if about to share a secret.
The response isn't words but living pictures,
Unseen by eyes, yet familiar to the heart.
The mind is blind to this truth.
A living fence between the known and unknown slowly fades.
I see the Universe composing a poem,
spreading waves of forgiveness
in an infinite symphony,
echoing through eons of silence,
in untouched tranquility...
Peace...
Truth hides in the home called peace.
Now I see black holes swallowing
the raging noise of faltering worlds,
where ancestral traumas
from conflict's flames dissolve
in oblivion's torrent.
Souls heal the painful sins of division,
swarming in nothingness,
with a deep longing for forgiveness.
The only thing they dream of is peace...
The heart's mind knows that love is truth,
truth is love, they live together,
in the home called peace...
There's a magical connection, a silver thread, that draws light from the source, awakening memories of eternal peace...
May our swords turn into rhymes,
and words of truth into a sanctuary of peace!
Everything ends where it begins.
Somewhere, where the dove's song,
which I dream of again,
spreads hope throughout the world,
from the heart to the source,
in knowledge of the highest value,
which is called,
peace...

I’M FREE
I’m light
I’m free
I’m with sauce
Before you set foot into this world
the feeling in the ether,
dissolved in peace…
It’s a gift to embrace
Scattered memories came from nowhere.
Between one world and another,
the spirit manifests…
The feeling in the chest,
that dissolves in peace…
Bringing light to parts
of soul being dimmed…
Spoken mirrors of
material world’s prison…
Silence strikes with delayed effect…
I’m light
I’m free
I’m with sauce…

WHEN I GO TO SLEEP
I will reveal to you the secret of what happens when I go to sleep...
All written topics, important in the search for the meaning of existence, meet in one place...
Just when I go to sleep...
Before i go to bed,
all the recaps are here in one place,
as if they are racing to prevent sleep…
So I wonder if I'm going to sleep,
or I wake up with a hundred new questions...
Is sleep a waking state,
from which we derive some final,
strange conclusions...
Dream and reality are one,
two sides of the same coin...
The only question is
who is that encouraged walker
on the edge of unexamined truth,
which, in seeking a conclusion,
scrolling left and right...
