Years have passed and your hand, still empty, waits for mine.
I remember the sound of your laugh as waters in turbulent streams.
I breathe, think, sigh, dream, yearn and breathe once again but you are still in my mind.
Penetrating seeds in the solid rock will grown and the ancient wise tree will be loved.

Firefly eyes stand picturesque on your face, looking at me with love.
It is not a selfish act but the fear of being who you really are.
The fault is from your upbringing but your trembling body aims for change.
More days have passed with physical distance tearing us apart.

Once more the mountain trembles solitary and with no ease, calling.
My cortex built by time collapses and slims down while the soul fruitfully awakening.
Constantly moving and transforming, my body creates once again new paths.
Joyfully and with elegance, I stand with live in my heart, ready to encounter.

Slow days turn into years, advancing time that could re-enact.
Still and hardly breathing, you wait for me to start and make the change.
Waiting I confess, it is only your own moving what could re-enact.
The years have passed and finally together in concert we celebrate.
