open affair
Poem by: Lorena Saavedra Smith
I opened the door to feel my wind and
I listened in silence the sounds of the
river making love to the ocean.
The birds were singing songs and
the little creatures
waking up from the ground
were crawling up my feet,
dancing at the rhythm of the waves,
kissing farewell to the logs of wood
traveling from far away downstream.
There was complete harmony.
I am in complete harmony.
Harmony it is.
Everything is in mutual companionship.
We all, the birds, the little creatures,
the waves, the woods, the wind,
what we see, and we can’t!
We all were part of this interminable
reciprocal loving journey between
the waters of earth.
