My two hands

One hand is basking in the sun 
One hand in the shadow


I can feel how my right hand is warmed
my left hand coo
l

my right hand curled around the pen
ready to write
eager to transmit words

my left hand empty
silent

Each hand connected to a wrist, an elbow,
a shoulder, a whole arm

Both meeting in the heart

We are a pair, my two hands

Right writes
Left holds the paper

First the sunny mind comes up
full of plans and fantasy
And then the shadow mind appears
empty, calm, open

We are a pair, my two minds

When they meet in the heart
they can embrace anything

When they meet in the head
they can understand anything

When they meet the world 
there I am present with my two hands
