converZation


A tree in a park in Buenos Aires
don't apologiZe
mind is an unbending unyielding mirror
even against own judgement
it does not change but simply reflects feelings
like sky is reflected on still water

tongueZ lie
eyeZ refuse to see
earZ ignore warnings
but the mind just stands witness

so if you don't or can't
or can't or won't
there is no why can't or why won't
it is just is so

there will be licking of the wounds
and shedding of tears
but in the end
like a calm ocean surface
the storm will be hid within

without butterflies and lilies
there can't be a garden
don't cry over this barren patch
in the desert dates may yet grow
and a mirage will flourish

don't apologize
the mirage reflected in the mind
is just an expression of soul
reflecting its need
