SHADES OF LIFE
The red and the black:
Two colors that allow me peace.
The strong one burns in a quiet light
That gazes at the world but does not dare to touch it;
The dark one tastes the flame
In a warm and cold becoming.
This way I can look at what surrounds me:
Look at my feet in the water and yet be on it,
My hands taste the wind and never tighten it,
My eyes so in the nature,
So set in a picture of perfect imperfections
Without ever becoming
The oil that creates the canvas.
