Naked Words

:::Hide And Seek:::

Under the white rays of the sky,

I hold my breath.

Receiving blessings from the tree of life.

Under which we play hide and seek.

How do you find me now?

I keep you blind, holding my breath.

Listening to your silence,

Embracing your roots.

I will find you again.

Running, tracking, hiding, observing.

My daily life;

Cooking, welding, healing.

I feel you in the air as I breathe.

I can’t live without you, beautiful tree.

My partner, the oxygen cylinder.

Naturally free,

Under these white rays of the sky.
