This table
is beautiful, I, on this side and you there
My coffee
mug in my hand and yours in your hand reaching for the lips
This evening
is beautiful, people walking on their way to destinations,
they prefer,
birds on their branches, they chose, beautiful clouds floating.
This evening
is beautiful where I see a fine aura around everybody,
unique for
everyone, never crossing each other’s, but spreading energy
this
evening is beautiful, with all its boundaries, natural, that which I treasure
this gives
me my corner to grow up, to see me as me and you as you.
This
morning is not that beautiful, the daily told me that you forgot your boundary
Somewhere somebody’s
private boundaries where erased, which they treasured
I shudder
if we lose those thoughtful emotions to each other, that bind our world,
That gives
the beauty I enjoyed that evening, of people walking freely to their destinations,
of birds
perching on their own corners, of my coffee mug in my hand and yours in yours.
