EXPECTATION

Let`s meet amongst and in between

Just like that

In simplicity of feelings

Understanding and consciousness

So there  is no need to pretend

Or even explain

Let`s meet simply

In a distance of hands

Or even closer

Between words

HOPE

The eyes of a deer are big and black

Like lakes` discs at night time

There is so much fear couched in them

So they can sink  hope

There is strength in the killer hands

Weapon is aiming at the target

Sentence is suspended

Adrenaline is squeezing the trigger

I am thinking of  the deer`s eyes

When I send my mind away

I take my heart out of the shield

And put it  on open hand

And learn once again

The art of taming

EELIN – CARRYING LIGHT

I have permission

For laughter and tears

For toil and fear

For  moments of happiness

I have  permission

For comforting words

Bright and tender

Like Flashes of lanterns

In the depth of

Solitude
