Breathe

CARTE BLANCHE #22

Of course I breathe
Of course I am alive
Of course my life keeps going
Winter has turned into spring
Weather has heated up
Shinning
Sky has cleared up
Sparkling
Trees have grown leaves
Stems have grown flowers
I have grown up
Of course I write I dream I weap
Of course I love I gaze I move
Of course my life keeps going

Without you

But I have lost the little spark
The glitter nobody could see
Flying in my heart, body and soul
I am alive
With you I felt radiant

Of course my life keeps going
Without you
But I have lost the “je-ne-sais-quoi”
The idea of you The feeling of you
Exhilarated by the pleasure of telling you
Enlightened by the leasure of you
seeing and listening
We had thoughts meetings
You and me
There was this little tiny thing
I would only share with you
Those little random facts
Those big questions of life

Of course I breathe
Of course I am alive
Of course my life keeps going
But there is a gap
Between the world and me
The gap of your absence
Between my world and you
The gap of your silence
That nothing
Not even spring sun
Not even bright hope

That nothing can fill

Of course I am alive
But I am longing to feel radiant
