Poems by Sonia Paz Baron-Vine

Sisters

Like this, holding hands facing the sun, smiling, united...

Our hair free in the wind gazing a wonderful horizon....

Advancing joyfully, confident, supporting each other...

magical creatures, all different all beautiful, all special, filled with tenderness...

Our voices a melody, our hands a chain, sisters forever, daughters of mother nature,

nieces of Pachamama, brides of the sun...

Grandmothers, mothers, aunts, daughters, all capable, all queens, let's go ahead,

filled with light to spread our sweetness, to share our hearts.

Silent witness

(To Frank)

Sailing by your side under the warm sun of the afternoon, laughing and carefree...

I let you enter my heart, looking into your blue eyes, caressing your curly hair...

I kissed your lips and dreamed in your arms...

The stars were silent witness to the tenderness we felt, the magic we created and the closeness we gave...

Now the sun shines and you are not here, my heart aches for the truth..

I wish I was like the sand kissed by your tide...

But the waves took you away to kiss another sand

Shimmering Lights

Together you and I like a dreamed so many times, gliding softly over the waves ...

pushed by the gentle afternoon wind ...

Shimmering lights you and I, following the sparkling reflection of the sun..

Your arms around me, your warmth behind me...

the wind fills the sails and I rest my head on your shoulder...

I navigate following the sunny trail and your voice softly encourages me...

Sunset arrives and the harbor lits....

you call me to your side and I sit next to you, as nana's blanket covers our shivering bodies..

The starry sky, the sound of the distant seals, we kiss as we rock gently in the night,,,

Shelter

Alone and hurt, crying in the night I came..

you held me in your arms and let me sob..

the warmth and love I felt, the refuge I found...

my sisters understood and I slept safe, healing my wounds in dignity and peace..

A small garden where flowers bloom and the cement walkway with the imprints...

of other mothers and children's hands before me ...

A safe home away from pain, where I can start my life again...

Secret Dreams

For so long I had this dream deep in my soul, a secret dream...

Nobody knew, I never told, I kept it inside protected, mine..

And then you came and surprised me, by doing all those things I had dreamed for so long..

You held me just right and kissed me just so, and your eyes seemed to know..

I held you so tight and clinged to you, in the silence, needing no words just us both...

I want this to be true, I do not want it to end

I am leaving you in charge

I will wait and follow

Do not brake this magical spell....

Sailing Away

I want to sail away with you by my side smiling..

with your arms around me looking together at the open sea..

with the wind pushing our sails and the sun shinning along our sailboat..

Your sweet voice telling me that you love me as I close my eyes, safe in the knowledge of our love ....

sailing away with you my love....

sailing forever..

Sad Eyes

You look at me and I see your green eyes...

today they are troubled and I do not know why..

I see your sad eyes and I am worried...

have I done something to cause you pain.. ?

My sweet love do not be sad, I love you so..

Hold my hand and walk with me, lets face life together and trust in each other

I will stand by your side no matter what...

have faith in our love and show me your smiling eyes again...
