At the edge of the ocean

.

                                                                        

                                                                                            The milky way

Once upon a time at the edge of the ocean - a message I sent

into the darkness of an unclouded sky

And I waited and waited

I pointed my  finger to grasp it

let me touch and see what is hidden

I know someone is out there and watching

and believe me or not - I have found it

I live to inspire in a journey of magic

not to persist in a sense of delusion

The truths are so easy to understand

once ascertain you know well about it

You can twist it and bend it and twist it

when the truth is your unshakable faith

What we leave behind when we are gone

is not an image applied to a wall

it is woven into the lives of the others

 I have never believed in imagination

 I can watch the most peculiar things without fear

When I lose myself 

in a thought and my intuition

and my common sense

have taught me - not to feel identical

to the myths of my ancient culture

So believe me or not - I have found it and touched it

And I know I am an existential part of it.
