Water Tower
Inconsolable is your grief
in your own tears you drawn
an endless waterfall that washes over you
yet, the earth beneath your feet is dry.

I SEE YOU
The world / the Creation is a beautiful organism. Consisting of so many forms and countless creatures. But it seems, we rarely see it in its essence. An essence hidden by our personal projections fears and desires.
Drowned in our fears and desires we try to capsulate the creation, to geometricize and classify it in a mare attempt to reign over it. Furthermore, why not gorge with it and get rid of all annoying parts of it?
Then why not sell it for a personal satisfaction in exchange?
But, are we and the world around us two separate things, or are we just causing all that on ourselves?
An endless process of looking, at, and in the same time, turning away from ourselves, trapped in an infinite game of love, hate and longing.
But what would be, if we saw the Creation for what it is, and what if we would accept it and subsequently start loving it?
May be an opportunity to start loving ourselves?
Or, first, we have to accept and start loving ourselves and step out of the bird cage?
