herd of horses
(Artwork is a drawing by my wife)

All of a sudden,
differentiated centimetres,
all over, alone,
fearfully alone,
longing for
metres squared
by meeting you
in the middle of all
this
turmoil;
at crossroads near woods
on the edge of a desert of meadows, where
there will be
well, a well,
flow
of motion,
silence
weaving stills
to calm
stampeding words –
a herd strong as horse
spreading by kiss,
and yet
touch skin to merge:
you-me/we>us,
listening to
the way in,
a square, room to meet,
feet rooting like trees
catching sun and rain
to grass for the herd to sleepdream
on quiet, for the herd
to become one horse again
and my tears have filled
the well, clouds reflect on
its surface we learned to grow…

Hi John, it’s good to see you here again,
it has been a while. I hope life is treating you both well.
Your three poems seem to be all intertwined, all about
growth and self reflection, even the one about a dream.
I really like them.
Warm wishes,
Bernadete
Thank you, you are right, it is good to be back on Cosmo, to have the time and quiet of mind needed to surf Cosmo. Work was taking up so much energy and personal growth the bit that was left... Yet, it makes me write again after many words ending in the dustbin... The last two are "the way out"... The dream was somewhere in december and led to the way into a process of getting rid of more old stuff (ghosts from the past)...
John... three very deep and soulful writes. All a treat to read, it's good to see you back. Wonderful artwork also by your wife x
Hanx, my wife feels chuffed by your appreciation of her fitting drawing...
