Universal Language

 

I’ll be the Santiago to your Alchemist.

I’ll comb the sands of the desert in pursuit,

I’ll turn myself into the whirling wind

As long as you teach me how to live

With the Universal Language.

 A poem i thought of after reading The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho:

  

I’ll be the Fatima to your Santiago

I’ll stand tall like the women of the desert

I’ll await your homecoming with a light heart

As long as you teach me how to love

With the Universal Language.

 

I’ll be the moon to your endless desert nights

I’ll say “I love you”, you’ll say “Eu te amo”

I’ll move to the right, you’ll move to the left

As long as we love it won’t matter; we understand

The Universal Language of love and no words.
