Most of us
are not calm
neither outside
not inside
nor any
or everywhere
Most of us
refuse our invitation to this space/place
where sun lingers and is soft
and within her angles
there is love,
serene and moving.
But you
start here,
you feel the warm sky,
and the silence which stills
assorted
ambitious thoughts.
