Simply Being
I am here! Simply here! Listening and lookingā¦
The leaves are greener than yesterday,
and the days are cooler than last year,
Night is soon approaching, slowly and seducing
like the deep gaze of a lover,
But one needs to tread with care, as night likes to pry
on the most intimate secrets, calling and luring
and dragging you to the entrails of the earth
till you spit out the last word and let out
the last ghost that inhabits your very soul,
But night is your trusted confidant
and will guard you under her wings,
soothing, mystical, and ethereal, analogous to angels,
I surrender to the nightā¦ close my eyes and respireā¦
I am here! Just here!
Simply being.
--Bernadete vdw, ā25

And you said in your last poemĀ
(I always read your poems)Ā
that youāre allergic to beautiful women? Yeah, right!
You cannot see a beautiful image, and youĀ want to become a tree. Lol!
I appreciate you sharing your thoughts, 2 Much 2 Love.
BernadeteĀ
hmmm!
What you are saying here is wonderful. And I totally get it.
Beauty, any form of it, is to be celebrated. Emptiness happens when one cannot see the beautyĀ
around, yes, there is ugliness out
there, but it is still a beautiful world, and we need to turn our faces towards the beauty, like the
sunshine turns its own face towards the sun (from my old poem). You see, 2 Much 2 Love,
I do understand and see that your poems are the subject of beauty.
I made a little joke, I didnāt think you would mind. I am sorry. Ā BĀ
I am deeply sorry, I thought I had offended you,
So I removed everything,
Beauty does hava many characteristics
Even in secrets,
Please forgive me
B.
There is nothing to forgive, 2 Much 2 Love. Donāt worry, itās all good. Keep writing, youāre good at it.

With the light of optimism you courageously and patiently carry your lantern through the darkness, grounded as you face the unknown, letting go as you conquer the night. Another beautiful piece Bernadete.Ā
