IF YOU ARE A POET


     You never wrote poetry… but you were a poet, a creator without matter or tools. Your canvas was your mind and your book was written in invisible ink. I read that book plenty of times and I understood each word that you would have written. Your canvas contained many worlds. I saw many of them reflected in your eyes when you were watching in wonder the beauty of Nature around us or talking about distant constellations. Yes, you were a poet and you keep making poetry on the stars… without a single word. From above your warm silence is falling in shooting stars…
     Below is the video I made with an excerpt from the book A Heart Full of Stars by Álex Rovira and Francesc Miralles, Chapter 12 - A Letter From Indochine by Thich Nhat Hanh, with photography by me and David Kovalski. His photography always brings more light and a deeper meaning to the words.
     Below is also the poem Perpetual Movement that I wrote about a month ago for the previous post, but then decided to post I’ll Meet You Among the Stars, the first poem I wrote for you after your departure, my brother.




PERPETUAL MOVEMENT

Across, through and over
Carrying the infinite universe
In your finitude, you move
Towards the first beginning

The perfect complete circle is closed
In the endless line the journey is opened
Time engraving deep the universal seed
Carrying you trough the seasons beyond

Now you carry a new seed, stream of life
Planting dreams in unknown starry fields
Behind you left the indelible mark of love
Now you carry the new seed of time within

Rebel, born, move, spreading the seed
Across, through and over 
Irreplaceable particle of the whole
Following the perpetual movement of life...
