All the books
In the world
All the learned ones
In history
Stop short
Of knowing
The mysteries
Of the matters
Of the heart
For this one cannot
Pursue in degrees
Of books
Or afield
It can only
Be found
In the flesh
In the song
Of our life
One to another
Mysterion – that which awaits disclosure or interpretation
Does love come
With a lifetime
Guarantee?
Is it more
Precious to me
Lived faithfully
Daily
Who to listen to?
My heart tells me
I could grow
Used to you
Even our ruins host vital signs of life
following their passion
– street mural Freiberg, Germany
Where would I be
Without your light
Your warmth
To illuminate me?
Show me when
The seasons
Begin and end
I will embrace them
A break in the clouds
Is all that is needed
For hope to return
My mind is firm
No other way to live
'One flight down
There's a song on low
And your mind just picked up on the sound
Now you know
that you're wrong
Because it drifts like smoke
And it's been there playing all along
Now you know
The reeds and brass have been weaving
Leading into a single note
In this place
Where your arms unfold
Here at last you see your ancient face
Now you know
The cadence rolls in broken
Plays it over and then goes
One flight down
There's a song on low
And it's been there playing all along
Now you know'
Lyrics: Jesse Harris
'One Flight Down'by Norah Jones
From the earliest time
Before I knew a thing
About you
When we spoke
We were the only ones
In the room
It is still
Every day
Still here
When life
Goes astray
Will you walk
With me?
