Fig Tree

The fig tree by the house with no backyard

Always welcomed me

It was comforting and warm

Teaching me

A child I was

Not knowing death nor life

It taught me eternity

The fig tree in my grandmother’s house

Will always live within me

Slipping

Time is slipping away

And I hoped you would stay

But I’ll be slipping too

I wished you well

I wished you good

I’ve done all I know I could

But time

Is my enemy and time is my friend

I wished I could see it till the end

But time is slipping away

And I will be slipping too

Self Love

Don’t forget to nurture your soul

…

You lost your pieces
Those that made you, you
And now you wander
Forgetting what you loved
To do

Worth

I confused my soul

With my body

My degree with my intellect

My riches with my clothes

And I let my ego decide

What I was worth

Mother’s Love

She said she wasn’t hungry

Good Bye

The things that could never fit within a bag, are the things I desperately wanted to pack

💛

My Heart

I’ve relied on the sun to shine

The moon to come back

The stars to glow

The trees to grow

But

Each had a cycle and a rhythm

They didn’t know

How fast I want to keep on running

So my heart

I’ll have to start

With you

Missing

I had wandered far

And after all

I found you

The thing that was never missing

The thing I refused to see

The missing piece was just me

God

He left little pieces behind

God

A seed that grew from inside

And the tree

(You and me)

Forgot

The wider view

Possession

She cries about the things

She’s yet to obtain

But she forgets the things

Her life contains

Possessions left untouched
