Somewhen

Drawing "Many lives" by Eline Eugenie (You Tube-name of my wife)

Somewhen

Somewhen
does not exist in my life –

it is but a mere second
among uncountable others.

Yet, in my memories,
days past live on to be revisited

and while I sleep,
even older seconds return to visit me:

a monk praying quietly in his dark cell;
a pilot panicking, his plane caught fire;
your embrace to quiet me;

smell of smoke and fruits
and soothing sounds of a river
in a valley these eyes of now have never seen.

Also, there were seconds I gave to you
for much the same reasons.

I treasure each one of them.

Bright beyond all
an eternal flame

silent soul

Absolutely love this, such a tone of reflection, for some reason it just resonates with me so very strongly. I enjoyed it a lot. Kind regards. The Fish of the Sea

Thank you so much - the soul wishes to learn as much as it can, one live is never enough. Happily, I won't be returning as me, bezuase hopefully the soul has learned all it could from this life. I must say, this was the fastest comment so far, within the hour 🤣.
