Jonathan Horwitz Poems

This song is Portuguese
and it says:

“There is joy, there is sorrow
...

Standing here
Our roots entwined
Nourished and nourishing
The seasons pass
...

Removing the dark
like a blindfold
My eyes are not dazzled
by the light
...

If you come to see me again
Could I reach out and gently
...

Finding my keys in my pocket
before going through the door
...

Moving
at the speed
of consciousness
I am starting
...

The Shadow of your cheekbone
In the Sunlight of my memory
Your Eyes cast inward
Listening to the Truth
...

Everywhere I go
I am here.
How can I leave you
When there's nowhere to go?
...

Lying on the Earth
feeling the warmth of the Sun
the clouds come
the seasons change
...

I have this Longing, he said,
Since I was a child.

She said, For me
...
