AMANTE DE LA LUNA

I dance with my letters,

As I dance with the stars and the moon

That light my path through the night…

And I allow my skin to suffer the outrage

of a thousand fires burning within me…

To be truly alive,

is to emerge from the ashes,

with the strength of a warrior

and the humility and simplicity

of a child’s heart.

To live is to allow my wounds

be the fertile ground

where the flowers bloom…

Is to forgive myself and to release others

from the old promises they could never fulfill,

so the space can be opened

for new dreams and new beginnings…

To live is to open my arms

to the possibilities of a new dawn,

holding no hard feelings…

allowing the hurt of the past

be a like floating leaf

cruising peacefully over the stream,

on its way to the ocean…

I surrender all. I am no one.

I own nothing but a beating heart,

that dances under the stars and the moon

To the rhythm of your heartbeat…
