Outside in the backyard
lying on a chair
underneath the blue, blue sky
I watch and stare

cutting the bread in pieces
to share
on this beautiful birthday
we embraced the love
because it was there

reflected in the beauty of the eyes
mine and thine
hoping for the sun
internally endless to shine

a loophole of what is
to forget the time and world
and what it is or was
we might really miss

on my feet
I start to walk through the grass
to reach the water
streaming through my soul
and on this moment it is what was

still lying there
puzzled by positive words and thoughts
that infiltrated my head
How to share the love I felt?

For you Kwinten,
for you Susi,
for you Chelsea,
for you Doug,
for you Barnett,

Am I so glad we met
Should I hug, speak or write?
I remained silent instead.
