The Clarity Of Silence

Lappi,  
Lappi,  
inexplicable,  
endearing,  
alluring,  
merciless,
stripping down sounds,  
colours,  
scents,  
leaving so much space  
to listen to myself.  
Why do you take away  
from my ordinary life  
so much sense?  

All my desires echo  
in this vast emptiness.  
I want your pale face  
always with me,  
in my mind,
Lappi,
Lappi,
as a reminder  
that what matters
is not the rat race,
so meaningless,
but what is inside,  
true,
pristine.
