I KNOW

POETRY

I haven't loved and haven’t been loved before...

It was a roller coaster ride.

Stirring the wild side of me,

The will to become the best I could be,

But not the will to stay,

Just the one to move forward.

It was always the thrill of being trapped...

I felt like the magician chained and handcuffed

Under water, defying the countdown,

Discovering unbelievable ways to escape,

And amazing the public.

But it wasn't me, nor my place.

Just doing something to pass the time,

On the journey towards myself...

Now I know.

It's only the one

Reflecting in me

Like the sun in the sea,

Who deserves all my quiet moments.

The one with whom I freely surrender

To change

And to love,

With an oath of silence,

Sharing one mind and the will

To command the sky.

* About the picture... Someone sent it to me on Facebook years ago, and, to this day, it's one of my favorites. I don't know who made it. I wish I knew who the person with such an amazing talent was to give them credit for it. If it's you, let me know.
