I lost my soul

I lost 
my soul

in the desert of love

in a flash

of a dream

I realised

there was a hole

in my body

I went out seeking

crying to the sky

the clouds were weeping

the wind was cold

and the light

of mercy

ran out of time

so I digged

in the sand

till I found me

a handful of grief

and I formed it

slowly

unto a sad song

of remembrance

sang it out

loud and clearly

in the darkest night

on earth

the silence

was heavy

till the moon

gave a smile

and a bird

on my shoulder

whispered

love

in my ear

I prayed

till the morning

and I felt

the burden

of life

on my shoulders

in the colourful light

of the early morning

a man came by

on a horse

white as snow

calling out

with a darkbrown voice

anyone here

that can use 

some future

anyone here

with a hidden history

anyone here

with a heavy spirit

looking for love

on the mountain

of hope

so I thanked

the stranger

when he handed

me over

the seed of music

that burned

like fire

I swallowed it up

without hesitation

and the man 

whispered 

meaningful blessings

in an unknown language

and right

there and then

I felt inside

a mix of 

diminishing silence

and thousands of

wonderful words

of grace

and the desert

outside

looked

like a garden

of flickering flowers

and the light

of the day

brought

life in my body

the air

in my brains

felt warm and cosy

and heaven

was playing

like a child

with me

I jumped

in a pool

of deep conclusions

and finally met

with the fountain

of overwhelming eternity

and

lots of broken dreams

valleys of sorrow

oceans of resentment

cages of forgotten pain

disappeared

slowly

into the black hole

of the universe

till silence was light

and bearable

that is 
what happened

when the sun

kissed my soul

back to life

in order

to grow

from the inside 
out
