Near The Wall Of A House

Near the wall of a house painted

to look like stone,

I saw visions of God.

A sleepless night that gives others a headache

gave me flowers

opening beautifully inside my brain.

And he who was lost like a dog

will be found like a human being

and brought back home again.

Love is not the last room: there are others

after it, the whole length of the corridor

that has no end.

~ Yehuda Amichai

Forgetting someone

Forgetting someone is like forgetting to turn off the light
in the backyard so it stays lit all through the next day
But then it is the light that makes you remember.
