Already There

A poem again since a long time.
It is one I particularly like because of the underlying thought when I wrote it.


Already There

when you trade in all your rainy days
for one tsunami wave
when even honesty seems so cliche
it takes one brave set of lungs
to scream out what you understate

I know there's more to this world
than simply space and time
for I sense a world of wonder
lying behind this doubting mind

it's in little things, like words and deeds
like things you know, yet need to hear
waiting a moment to hold the door
or wiping away one single tear

more than the earth on which I lie,
and more than the air I breathe
I need her embrace
so gentle but with a strength
to make my heart skip a beat

I'm certain she's calling me
but I am already there
even when nothing's changed
it seems the easier it gets to say
the faster all its meaning goes away
like a long conversation
on a short winter day
