The Tribal Girl

Stepping lightly on the fallen ground,

I walk towards the edge of the sky.

My eyes fixed on the light,

Shinning on the other side,
Calling my name …

With every step,

I leave behind a world not worth living in.

With every step, I walk away,

Away from the burning trees,
Away from the eclipsed sun,
Away from the dying stars,
Away from the whirling thoughts.

The light is calling me,
To hold my hand,
and take me to the land,

Where our universe is not divided by tiny lines on the maps

A place, where only colors that matter, are rosy

Where only language spoken is music

A place, where orchids still bloom and rivers flow

Behind the curtain of thick clouds

A place, where,

on a lazy summer afternoon,
I will run my fingers through the grass,
And let the butterfly whisper to me.
I will run wild in the sunflower fields,
I will let my hair fly with the wind,
I won't care.

And I know I will find you there!

I will find you there,

Under the shade of a lonely tree,

Dressed in your grey tee and rugged jeans,
Reading a book, lost in the pages,

too busy to say a word,
but free, to hear them all
I will find you there…

But I won't talk,
I will just lay in your lap
While you read
I will stare at you.
I will smile again,
But my smile won’t send waves of pain in my heart
If I laugh, I won't fear
My laughter won’t be silenced by the stroke of reality.

And when the sun will set to rest,
we will chase the lighting bugs,
We will play,
And the trees will play with us,  

Like we are five again!
There won't be any one around to tell us what to do and don’t.
There won't be any one there to define the right or wrong.

There won’t be any odds, no worldly gods
No one to interfere
We will be free, you and me!
I will meet you there
I will meet you there...

The light is calling my name,
All I have to do is reach for it,
give my hand,

Walk to the other side,
And swollen eyes, broken heart, endless nights,
all will become ‘a thing of past’.

All I have to do is close my eyes, forever,
And memories will be relived, and will last.

I will meet you there,

On the other side, behind the clouds

At the edge of the sky,
Away from the pain and the loss.

I will meet you there…
