Soul mates
Calmness is the brightest room in the house.
I would like to see you
take some rest in my arm chair.
I won’t charge you any rent
to live in my universe.
Take a deep breath,
unpack all your sorrows, and tomorrow
let’s have breakfast together.
I can’t promise you the sun,
nor the moon,
nor the stars.
But I’ll turn on all the lights
to make you feel at home.
Calmness is the brightest room in the house.
I would like to see you
take a nap on my shoulder blade.
For your soul and my soul
share a blanket of trust
as strong as an armour.
Note: This poem is inspired by Hafiz’ poem “Your Mother and My Mother”, which I came upon in Kate Clanchy’s book “How to grow your own poem”.
