The Lights of Life
in your own world nobody who talks like me is around or will come
words are just the dust of some ones memory
they are not what I want to say
like shadows they slip through my fingers
while I'm gone they still try to remind me of where I am not anymore
words of your world are just like a dust
that I can't cope with
just ashes from a fire I've never seen and felt
while thoughts are faster than anything
its words put a weight in there
so maybe that you can stay on your planet
I do not condemn this way of crawling into a shape
but the slowness of it makes me tired in a new way
let me be patient as your are and learn
and slip into the clothes of different creatures
to show them love in their language
although both of us know love cannot be said
merely expressed and approached
with the lights of life
