Archetype

The rock has  iris rainbow  overtones
with pins and needles on our wandering feet
and irradiates flowers and trees that absorb
radio clear  and light-dark energies 


The hummingbird sucks them
the insect pricks them
the cow gulps them down in its grass factory

Insects don´t understand brainy birds…
Who are these giants that fly like them?

Multicolored birds land on cows…
Who are these quadrupeds that emanate milk?
Better to fly, to look at the world below
round and covered with pollen and pollution

The equine understands not , the knowledge of his master
Where to , does he take him riding and riding?
He trusts his affection, strong , warm and secure…
and at the end to rest placidly in the horse feed stable

Humans don´t understand being and thinking…
The All created life, who created the All?
Beyond the universe, rotates an  infinite space…

What a pleasure to sleep and not exist !
