So many tears
that haven't been cried yet
So much laughter
that has not been laughed yet
So much life
That hasn't been lived yet
Still, it's not on us to choose
When the anchor will be cut loose
But if we happen to be lucky
We will have some provisions with us
for the journey into the unknown......
Our tears
Our laughter
and the love of the people
with whom we have shared all this.

In the night, so calm and clear,
lies a land mystic and dear,
glowing lamps, tender, slight,
softly sway in amber light.
Fairyland awakes by night,
in the silence lies the might,
stars are twinkling, water gleams,
lake rests still in moonlight's beams.
Every tree stands proud and tall,
guarding over ancient hall,
faeries dance in hideaway,
soft music plays for them to sway.
And the wind it carries songs,
from fairyland, where they belong,
whispers them to dreamers too,
giving night its peaceful hue.
Fairyland awakes by night,
in the silence lies the might,
stars are twinkling, water gleams,
lake rests still in moonlight's beams.

The pink strands in her black hair turned into dark violet
and her leather suite changed into a shirt of white linen..
the last chapter had begun
The veil between the world became translucent
being lifted far to early:
Beyond the veil - the long cold road to eternerty
that nobody wants to walk
Right into the void
where nothing can remain
no white light at the end of the tunnel....
no welcome from anybody....
Just a fading whisper about her....
....pink into dark violet - leather to linen...
Echoing - dying -
SILENCE
Infinite Void
as if she had never existed
nothing but
DARK OBLIVION

The Bumble-Bees so happily
from flower to flower they bumble
A scientist insists:
"this cannot be
it's an areodynamic scandal!"
with a formular: Y somewhat x Phi
he proofes why Bumble-Bees can't fly at all:
their bodies are too heavy to fly
as their wings are much to small
I humbly admit: physic is all greek to me
I enjoy Bumble-Bees and their humming
and the Bumble- Bees seem to agree with me
and continue to fly...
...isn't that stunning?

Nightfall - time for a walk in the green
silence - the noisy day has gone to sleep
finally I am on my own - no more avoiding by zig zag runs
I take off my protection mask and a deep breath -
summer air and the scent of a freshly mowed meadow,
familiar and normal.....
In the distance a falling stars lights up
and I remember the taste of white clouds
and the sound of laughing butterflies
Everything will be alright

sunbeam tickles frozen dew

every Fryday night on his way home he stopped by the church near the bus station
to say a prayer.
his short escape to find comfort in this fast moving time.
and as he sat there, as usual, hands folded,
wondering again if there will ever be an answer to his silent prayers
this time, to his suprise, there was a rapid response:
***** music started playing and a celestial voice said:
"Dear prayer – thank you for calling but
currently all our heavenly connections are busy –
you are now in a queu - please hold your belief!“
***** music playing.....
"Your prayer is important to us -
We are sorry to keep you waiting but all hosts of heaven are still assisting other prayers-
The next spiritual entity available will connect with you soon.-“
Please stay in devotion!!
***** music playing....
"You have exceeded the waiting limit for this queue. Please unfold your hands and try again later!"
As he stepped outside he had left the church in every possible respect.
He never prayed again.

on a rock near an island - and a long forgotten shore
she stills sits there - the mermaid
graceful charming - but fading
eyes only looking at a mobile phone
won't see her anymore
nightfall at the seaside - another long forgotten shore
she starts singing then - the siren
celestial sound - but fading
ears covered by headphones
won't hear her anymore
deepest forest - untouched nature
in a ring, so says the lore
she's dancing there - the fairy
impishly cheerful still - but fading
senses focused on "smart e-devices"
won't feel magic anymore.....
