My only wish was to be an ecstatic wanderer. Rather than chairs and tables, I preferred the ground, trees, and caves, for in those places I felt I could lean against the cheek of God - Clarissa Pinkola Estés (Women who run with the wolves)

The red dragonfly at the little stream underneath the forgotten bridge spoke.


"to see people struggle 
between the old
and the new
ways to live
and to love

inflame the place 
blow spirit into it
blow spirit into them"

before i went down to the beach


The road to Igualero.




i sit on a rock
watching the clouds dance
up the mountain side
they greet the fresh 
morning sun

my lips still prickle
from eating the forbidden fruit
no words can describe
this magnificent view
to be of this spectacle
to be forgotten
to be true

behind me everything is blank
in front of me the highest flank
so i climb 
little by little
to be faded within this riddle










Morning on the needlebed.


clouds have taken over the forest
little drops of water cover me
when the wind blows by
in the night a little animal
woke me up, it crawled from
under my pillow and tried
to get my head aside
i told it i´d be there
only for this night






Untitled.


along the pathway
beside the willow tree
there lies a pathway
that connects u and me

Pine wood verses.


once again
i have entered
the pine woods on the mountain side

forest and ocean
captured in a single view

i lie alone
with my Mother and Lover
solitude we are

were this island a boat 
i would sail with it north

my body is ready
to carry new life
my soul waits patiently
for that moment to arrive

the branches wave 
my heart feels brave

i`ll have a baby 
with a man
he´ll be my friend
and understand

the father of my child
will be close to see
the little one grow up
they will drink from the same cup

many women will be around
children, flowers and trees
we will grow our own food
build our houses with earth straw and wood
we will drink water 
from the spring
we will make fires in the night
and sing

this child will wander
through the lands
touch the Mother with its hands

soft sunlight 
sweet caress
i will carry you
with the same tenderness














Notes on a jeep trip.



a blank paper 
loads of it
a pen and the ocean

how come these temperatures are so
tender
with my body
how come your fruits and women 
taste so sweet
how come that bird flew so
gently around the splendid
crescent moon?

breezes and waves flow through
my being
the heart is touched
the burden is washed

how come so many humans
create their problems
amidst this wonder
they suffer
but they go on and on

how come the sea keeps always movin
how come no hurricane 
ever comes here
or does it

the city seemed wicked 
when i was with strange people
and now it seems so peaceful
while i am alone in tranquility

this day is sacred
the forest smiled
i crossed the tunnel with a candle
through the belly of the mountain
i walked
the jeep is full with good things
my heart, so free
