Anne-Lise Andresen Poet Free verse

- Teach Me To Understand - Teach Me To Live -

Open the door to your secret kingdom
   where words have meaning - and hope turns to joy
   Tears falling on the ground - dries when the sun comes
   Beautiful snow covered mountains far in the distance
   A colorful butterfly coming out of its cocoon
   Finally free to fly - kissing my cheek so weak ... but so strong
   A half open mussel on the shore ... I glimpsed a gem
   A rose in my hand ... a leaf are broken ... weeping roses ?
   A warm gust of wind ... fills me with an indescribable joy
   Loving truth whispers ... do you understand
