To the sacred Winds by Fabrice Poussin

Seeking a pure avenue to reach to the fragile soul

sacred winds are revealed carriers of all things

they listen, recording every sound for posterity.

Preparing a path to eternity, he speaks in silence

a projection of senses which remains invisible

seemingly sleeping in a deep night of ice and death.

Absence may exist in the physical realm of the day

conquered it falls to fragments in eternal dust

as distance too fades away in unfathomable void.

The body screams powering an infinite dissolution

tending to its alter ego somewhere in space

so close, overwhelming, its own prison.

He longs for a waltz with the waves of the universe

looking for a hand-made of light, secrets and fortune

a touch to give life to all corners of the universe. 

He writes another letter on the winds with a gentle mind

letters numerous as the particles of eleven dimensions

so never will she again miss a sign of his being to hers.
