When I was human 12

As I was leaving the limits

Of my safety

I was discovering worlds

That, of course, were waiting

To be discovered,

Already there,

Always there;

I was just passing

They were staying

Into their own corners

Of the world;

As I was leaving,

They were receiving

More and more

Travelers

That were creating adventures

For themselves,

Just like I was;

I was discovering we were all stories

Waiting to be told.

Sunsets over the world.

When I was human 11

As I was seeing colors on my way
I was also leaving layers
Of who I could have been
Had I chosen differently
To live
To breathe
To walk
To run
To love
To come
To leave;
I was looking into the distance
Of a small box
That could become bigger
As I was taking steps toward my being
That was shy in showing itself,
That couldn’t wait to show itself,
I was gathering moments and
Selling feelings
To the soul.

When I was human 10

As I meet others

I meet myself.

I smile

They smile,

I laugh

They laugh;

We meet halfway

In the deserted streets of the soul

Filled with light

From the outside,

From the inside

From the universe

From the earth;

We shape and form

According to the seasons

That see us growing

That see us die

That see us get reborn.

When I was human 9

Behind smiles

There are eyes who cried

Enough tears

To understand

The power

Of simply living

Without too much fuss,

Simply in silence,

Enjoying moments

That are to be shared,

That are to be kept for oneself,

Things you can talk about,

Things you can’t,

Life is to be lived

Little by little

And then, maybe,

Sometimes in a faster rhythm

Of ups and downs,

Of happiness,

Of sadness;

As I go

Others come;

As I come,

Others go.

When I was human 8

Who knew could tell

I was here, and

Wasn’t;

Who knew could say

Where I went

Through dimensions

Taking up space

In the same place,

Yet different;

I was here,

I was there,

I was nowhere,

I was everywhere;

I disappeared only

To come back again,

With the same shape,

Yet different;

With the same name,

But slightly changed;

With the same aura,

Yet my atoms were shape-shifters

Into macro and then micro

Universes

Of being

Together

Alone.

When I was human 7

Feelings shared

With no words,

Simply being

Creatures of the Earth,

Smaller, bigger

Just the same

In the heart

Of the universe

Making us up;

You and me

Are the same

In life

In death

In the in-between.

When I was human 6

No words

The sun

Melted

Into the sky

While going its own way

Through the galaxies of my heart,

I found a ray

That

Called me home

Inside

Outside

It was the same space

Merging

Into thousands of pieces of rainbow

Brought together by

The strands of breaths

Stretching in the atoms

Making up the world.
