Raquel Angel Nagler Poems

Since time said: I am
Nothing has changed.
It still says: I am.
Only our sadness has learned how to whisper:
...

If I could only say:
‘I play life'
The way one says:
‘I play music'
...

Quote: "Zen mind is the everyday mind"- Zen
There are quiet evenings
When I hold in my palm
The bread and water of my mind: the daily thoughts,
...

I never knew the real weight of life.
I could not understand the mystery
Of what is it that we measure.
Help me.
...

Quote: 'In order to know life you have to surrender to it'- D.T.Suzuki

I told you
I am a butterfly in pain.
...

Lions
Can become men
When they know
They are lions.
...

You said:
Don't have rage.
Be rage.
Be the feeler and the feeling.
...

Sometimes
My years seem like a glass bridge over the abyss
Learning how to cross, so fragile and alone,
The fear of height,
...

I said:
I meet the eyes in a faceless crowd.
Its my own eyes. I have a million eyes.
Tell me where am I?
...

Little by little
My childhood has learned
That which cannot be taught:
The grammar of fear.
...
