We love at sunset
But I wish we had started
Love in the early morning
I sit next to your wheelchair
Looking at you and amazed as if
I have just put on the encroma glasses
All my black and white in life
Turns into a rainbow of colors
That I have never seen before
All the sharp angles hurting me in life
You ground them round and made me comfortable
As I have never felt before
Our souls are touching each other still
In spite of the fact that your soul is
Already slowly and steadily floating
To another horizon like a lost balloon
One day, I will lose you to the clouds
That will squeeze out from our love
Tear drops, falling on our roof top
With silent sounds of sighs and sadness
Echoed in the house of grief and loneliness
The sun is casting golden spots on your hair
Through branches and leaves from above
Some of your hairs escape from your forehead
Moving along with waves of the gentle breezes
Your face is painted in sunset mood
Your eyes are closed in a half-moon shape
Hands holding mine, meditating
I watch you humming to rhythms of the ocean in your mind
Knowing that you’ll always spare a corner for our lives
