It´s the most feared,
And at the same time,
The most desired.
It´s an internal encounter
Inside your mind and feelings,
And an external one
That´s felt on the skin,
Making you more sensitive.
You know it´s going to happen
But not when… That´s the catch!
The beauty and horrifying of it!
It´s the kind one you start alone
Or in collaboration with others.
In any way you look at it,
There is no escape! Not at all!
Once it catches you,
You´ll have to get used to it.
You´ll pray to every saint you´ve heard…
Even if you have never done it before.
You´ll scream with joy or sadness.
You´ll turn everything upside down,
Your thoughts will spin...
Confused... or excited... maybe....
You´ll believe in miracles
Or the bitterest pain.
You´ll be brave, so bold,
Even though inside of your chest
Your heart races.
And still,
In any state of your being,
You´ll welcome this…change...
