Time is happening all the time when I rest, when I get lost, when I
wait, when I'm on my way, when it's too late, when I cut my hair, when I
change my mind - and when I lie in bed wondering how many heartbeats
are left in this body, time is echoing in every corner of the room. Time
is aching when I remember, time is hiding when I forget - and
sometimes, when I am quiet enough for long enough, time is dissolving in
an instant.
Meander II.
So our story goes:
We were warriors and priests
fighting and praying our way out of darkness
side by side until sunrise
wondering where all the love went
And now we are children in kings' clothes
walking the line in heavy shoes
choosing our steps one by one
careful to avoid the dance
Tomorrow we will be in the desert again
resting our heads on heavy stones
waiting for a voice to call our name
so we can meet at the beginning again
colorblind and effortless
rolling on the bottom of the river
excavating slowly our way to the light
There, there is this love again
in the river's graceful meanders
Joëlle Valterio, september 2020
