The third

The third year has begun between mountains and the sea,
between blindness and insight
tried but not worn out between
coming and going
yesterday and tomorrow.

Hopes and reality lay apart
still separated by some distance
(mountains and seas, and what a view!)
but perhaps connected by a path -
a path easy to walk with proper clothing
but trying and heavy if you walk it with
city shoes.

Shoes without a grip were not welcome
on that path, it was strenuous, you could
easily slip and fall into the abyss of loneliness.

He walked the path for Her,
He held Her hand,
She was the grip the Had to trust...

..She dashed ahead,
but held his hand,
her grip was firm,
he had to run.

the fairy

the fairy flew over her house not knowing she should stop by
she flew over the river and the mountains to watch the rising
sun from the clearing next to the park...

...some time ago there used to be rocks,thought the girl, i used to sit on them to watch
the sun go down while the breeze filled my ear with whispers of promises.
She walked closer to the flat grassy patch that used to be covered by the rocks,
and as she leaned closer to find some traces of the past something shiny caught her eyes.
At first she has thought it must be a ring, an earring or some kind of jewel hidden in the grass,
but it was the grass itself tat shone, tiny silver fingerprints marked the blades of grass ...

...how strange, thought the fairy, it is as if i had known this place -
she sat in the grass and played with the grass, her little hands
caressing the fresh green blades still we with the morning dew..

...she took a blade and looked at it closely, and as if in a dream she remembered;
she knew what she had to do, there was no time to waste, she began running -
"she must be on her way now, she must be very close" she smiled to herself
and her heart lifted at the thought of a dream coming true.

could and would

How much would would i need if i could
have as mush would as i would want to
could i live without the would
would it be
or
could it be possible?

Maybe i could live without would
(even if i would rather not)
but i wouldn't live without could
(even if i could).

...

She awoke with a swollen thought
unstoppably pushing towards the surface
she pushed it back.
Would it be true?
Could it be?
If it would be
(for it could be)
then what?
