I EXIST

"I exist.

Feet buried in the mud

hair tangled in the clouds.

I exist.

Heart beating to a millenary rhythm

set by the stars and the tides.

I exist.

Can you tell me the lineage of my soul?

Can you tell me the shape of my sorrow?

Can you sit with me and trace

the contours of my silence?

I see you.

Your blood flows in unison with mine.

My skin wraps pieces of your dreams,

as I speak the language of your deepest fears.

I've held the hands of the invisible ones

that walk on your footsteps.

I will cradle your dark memories

as I would a newborn baby

as I tenderly hold the miracle that you are...

Even if I've been the moon of an extinct planet

Even if I've been a lover of liminal beasts

Even if I've walked through ashes

for a thousand years

under a frozen sun...

I exist.

I am a keeper of beauty

and you are a treasure to me."
