L'aura del campo

'é a lua, é a lua, na quintana dos mortos'
♣ Federico García Lorca ♣


Higgins Street Bridge, April 25th 2009, Missoula, Montana


L'aura del campo. A breeze in the meadow. So it began the last day of Spring, 2005; on the 16th day of the month of Light of the year 162. This is a supplement to my daily journal written to a friend, my muse; notes I do not share. Here I will share what the breeze has whispered to me.

I'm leaving

I was leaving.
         I didn't leave.
It was winter
         didn't go far.
I wanted to run away...
         ran off to college
                   had a miserable time
I couldn't stay, so I ran
         further away.

Why did I leave? What was my search?

I found it
         whatever it was
And healed
         whatever that was
and began to smile.

What did I find? Was it enough?

I dreamt
         dreams are so tricky.
I left when
         winter became spring.
Was I happy. No.
Did I stay. Yes.

For years I was happy being unhappy.

I wanted to leave.
         so I left.
Left my troubles behind...
         didn't take long for them to find me

Again and again and again.

I once had a neighbor
         who played the harp
known as Serenity
         just like her harp.

But I never found the peace I searching for.

I'm leaving
         each time searching for something.
I'm leaving
         my troubles are packed.

I've never been able to leave them behind.
