5 Steps

Spontaneously

Drops of blood fall in a rhythm on the ground

while the eyes express,

a body daggers down the stairs.

Blood swims.

Follows, the weight

of renunciation

the blood will dry

the body shall fall

the body shall fall

Knowledge sinks in the red,

presence succumbs.

The fallen body sheds skin

exposing innocence.

Oh, the spectator,

what shall he be going through

if not pity

if not distress

He claps soon after he cries

witnessing the

conclusion : peace

In circles, the winds and the leaf

Dancing on instincts,

triggered by a flying leaf,

the wind spins

and swirls in a flurry of thoughts

The leaf is a traveler

and it must return

The wind winds itself in a circle

around whose center shall an old leaf turn

again young

playing

forgetful, innocent

repeating themselves

;

sending the leaf back to its orbit, disturbed

bringing the leaf back to its position, placid.
