the program but do not pay
attention to the music or the tempo
they do not single out instruments

in your house when you shut out
all the superficial chatter where
you are the spirit of poetry

in the air to grasp whispers

clouds have covered the whole
day slowing down my rhythm
I walk as barefoot on carpet
placing words carefully
dozing off a bit hanging
poetic moments behind my eyes

there’s a pace you need
to let your soul reach where
there will be no more war inside
of you nor anger where you bow
kindly and poetry welcomes you
