The bird's song

There is a lonely bird

Perched on the branch of a tree at dawn

A bird that sings an eternal song

The most beautiful and profound melody

The Song of the Soul.

It is a melody that never ceases

It is a pure and sweet melody, soft, welcoming.

When we allow ourselves to live dancing to this song

Life flows beautifully

And blossoms

And expands

But to live dancing to the rhythm of our song

We must first hear it

We must first remember that it is there

Oh, it was forgotten

It was ignored, oppressed

It was hidden behind veils

I came to think that there never was a song

I reached the height of hopelessness and despair

Searching in the heavens and in the hells

The answer to a question

That I did not even know

And on a dark night, it made itself heard

Beyond the sound of the storm and the strong wind

That made it almost impossible to hear its purity

But I knew at that moment

That there was something more amidst the chaos.

I do not know how much time has passed

Until the bird visited me again

Maybe weeks, maybe lifetimes

But when I heard it again

The chaos seemed to silence

And the sweet melody said to me:

“Come back home” 

And the simple song sang to me:

“Remember who you are” 

Who am I...

I said

Who are you?

I asked

But the bird had gone

Long years passed

Years of endless questions

Years of exhausting searches

Nights I spent longing to hear that comforting melody again

Nights I cursed having dreamed of the bird

It was at dawn that the pain ended

It was the most beautiful moment I had ever lived

I looked at the pink horizon

For the first time not waiting for it to give me answers

A black bird appeared in the blue of the sky that once was night

I felt its flight as if I were the bird gliding

It landed on my shoulder calmly

And I felt the melody flow inside of me

I listened to the bird's song

It didn't open its beak to sing

Even so, the song grew

And it seemed to echo in the clouds

And in the sun's rays

It seemed to echo in every part of my body

That now dissolved into the melody

My body that melted into the landscape

I looked at the black bird on my shoulder and in a sacred instant I understood

I was home

I died a tree at dawn

And reborn in the new world

Liah'ah.
