When the human falls in love with the flower

Sleep left me behind 

With an wakefulness that was more than physical

Greedy for inspiration

Yearning in despair for some insight

What a dreadful game had sleep played with me?!

But Inspiration came

Reveling itself as a beguile mistress

Reminding me the feminine

Washing away my sorrow 

Painting my world in colors

It unveiled the mystery 

That mystery which surrounded my question

It explained to me the cause

And said:

When the human falls in love with the flower

It falls in love with its essence, its fragrance, its beauty, its freedom,

but soon after that, the human would try to capture the intangible

... to fence it

... to retain it 

And is then, when the flower loses its freedom, its beauty, its essence.

Taking away with it the love.

It all sounded clear and well know

Difficult to grasp, indeed

Almost impossible to achieve...

How to let go that, what is dearest to you, without knowing if you will see it again?

Leap of faith

I wake up everyday, some of those, completely sure of what I have gather. Some others, completely oblivious to it.

This journey is a crazy one!
One day I don't clearly know where I'm standing, neither where the journey will take me. Is all completely foggy, my next steps are only few meters apart.

Other, I wake up everyday, with some feelings sticked on my soul, praying for this not to be a fool's game. Knowing what I want, thinking that is possible.

I stumble between those days...
I still doubt I'm capable of grasping the meaning but I try to keep going.

This is, by far, the most unknown territory I'll ever be...
I have to believe on something that I can't fully understand, wonder in areas that people refer as dangerous.

I have to move forward with new reference points. I fear my radars could fail, yet I have to trust they are good enough.

Everything could be a build up from my smart brain, it could be a perfect play. How can I know the difference? I ask myself.

No answer is given...

This is what I call a leap of faith!

Jumping into the unknown...
