I Call Her Life

She takes you by surprise to hidden places, there you can find forlorn treasures

and pieces that no one knew how to make sense of

but you

When she’s sad she speaks through the earth,

shaking it and moving it, sometimes you lose

your balance and sometimes

you find the courage to hug her

and say “it’s ok. I’m here for you”

If she slaps you on the face

it’s not because she

doesn’t love you.

She just noticed you’re not listening, not paying attention. And when you wake up she’s

dancing and singing

you hear the divine

She always comes bearing one and only message. She always says ‘just relax. Lay back.

Lean back. Relax. There’s nothing to struggle against and no real battles to fight’. When I finally get her, I know

what she’s talking about, and I know that her name is Life.
