La Lessive

We climb summits in our lives, in our hearts
This infinite love mixed with pain
Sharing and the moment of happiness
That we keep anchored within ourselves to honor it

I climb the mountain, like I climb my life
All these crossed glances, if I understood them
I have seen a thousand times, and I am still surprised
By the beauty of the beings that made me let go

It's the wordless beauty that transforms a moment
On my knees in the mirror, letting things happen as they should
I keep the warmth, the flavor of the present within me
From those moments of grace that were you that were me

They live their ascent, climb and face their fears
There is no prison except the one we create in our hearts
I take note and learn from these bright lights
The moon, their gazes, not to die before our time

I treasure the experience in my flesh
Returning to the everyday, also not ordinary
In the pages of a book, those sentences that describe me
Everything ends and comes to an end, after the ecstasy the laundry

It's the wordless beauty that transforms a moment
On my knees in the mirror, letting things happen as they should
I keep the warmth, the flavor of the present within me
From those moments of grace that were you that were me

Tied in my head down to my backpack
Small storms push me upwards
The cold I breathe, I feel myself lightening
I didn't see anything coming, both feet in the snow

Since then it's easier, one step after another
If I walk calmly, if I am someone else
I will have my whole life letting things happen as they should
What we climb that was you that was me

It's the wordless beauty that transforms a moment
On my knees in the mirror, letting things happen as they should
I keep the warmth, the flavor of the present within me
From those moments of grace that were you that were me

It's the wordless beauty that transforms a moment
On my knees in the mirror, letting things happen as they should
I keep the warmth, the flavor of the present within me
From those moments of grace that were you that were me
