Waking Up

The Transition

Mastering the forces of nature
on each and every creature
I stand at the dusk
of my prior stormy lives…
Awaiting for the dawn
of the Spring I almost see
there´s a door opening for me
and my old skin is leaving me
with no cover
like a snake which skin
starts to grow all over.
and my Being is turned
upside down
like a deep wound
I cannot get unwound
before I reach the door:
I open my heart
so the sun can burn
all the thorns that cause
my sorrow
and then I feel I have released
the last trace of darkness…
Morning coming and
I feel at home… at last.
