Poetic Letters #010

Poetry from the road!

Since the 9th of July I’ve been on the road, driving my van from Italy towards the Atlantic coast.

My nephew joined my for the first part of the trip as we used to do since I had the van (and I could use it, thanks pandemic)

It’s not easy to be productive or creative when you drive 350km/day and you have a 16yo to take care of, but I managed to write a bunch and surely the inspiration is not missing.

Hope you enjoy this letter.

I’m off to a new parking spot with a view.

Love

A

Poetry

Some hope, some love, some motivation, because words are prayers and what we say to others and to ourselves will change our lives.

~ Peace ~⁠ ⁠

Like the waves in the ocean
Like the mist over the hills
Like the rain in the jungle 
Like a lake completely still

When your surface is calm
A reflection is seen
Of the seer’s own self
And everything in between

Fresh as the snow
Hot as the steam
Strong as the ice
Soft as the breeze

You have infinite shapes 
But always the same soul
You’re flawless as a stream
When you go with the flow

~ Miss ~⁠ ⁠

I wanna miss you
Like the best wave of my life
I’ve already tasted you
Every time a different spice

I wanna miss you
Like I don’t care you’re not here
You’ve already seen me
If we’re far apart 
We’ve got nothing to fear

I wanna miss you
Like we’re the same thing
A day spent together 
Is worth a thousand springs ⁠

~ 12th Feb 2020 ~⁠ ⁠

As long as you live
To please others and be loved
You’ll miss out the chance
To shine bright and be whole
