#113 Silence the mind

--

Put it all in a butterfly’s whisper

I wish I could empty my mind
to wash it deeply with vinegar and soap
so I could leave the vicious filters
and see clearly

Sometimes what it is all there is
Nothing left to conclude or moan about
and it’s so wonderful and simple
so so simple

I wish I could hear a butterfly’s whisper
Telling me to calm down and trust
like a dandelion caught in the air
and let go

Let the wind pass trough your forehead
Like being caressed by the Universe
Let your heart roll to the beat of its drum
and love

Just love.
