Different living skies as long as we are.


Nothing more interesting then the sky.
Every time another picture passes by.
Promises it holds.
I’m mesmerized by this.
It makes me happy and often makes my day.

Sky, I can watch you for hours . Sitting and just observing how you constantly change your ways.
Interesting clouds, snow white to dark.
Reflection of life you are.
Covering the sun sometimes creating a sharp silver lining.
Blue, grey, pastel.

With global warming,
Ominous
all consuming fire in the sky.
Fright and we flee to safer havens where
softer heavens are.

Ceiling of life
I can feel safe under you
but also afraid when you look threatening.
Such bright colors, especially when the sun rises or sets.
Dawn and twilight how precious.
Not two times the same.

At night I look for the moon.
Hope you’re watching too.
Let’s take care of our nature.
It’s precious.
We need nature more then it needs us.

Don’t take from nature if it doesn’t feed you.

Universal rose 🌹 🥀
At dawn of day
I peep between the  shutters of my petals
To see the light of early sunrise
What an enthralling world view
Through the curtain of mist
I see colors so startling
Charmed to just be
this rose in the making
What color will I be?
I don’t know…..
Who will fall in love with me.
Will my petals fall one by one
for the one who will treasure me
will I crown the newborn
celebrate birthdays
Or just a Valentine.
I don’t know and I don’t care
I’m here to be
for you.

Humans are like roses,
delicate
unique
in their own way
In need of love and care.

Then all the lights went out.
Silence.
I saw all stars above.
Heard the sounds of nature.
A white bird flying in the dark.
Coocoo calling owl, dogs barking.
Baby cry from afar.
I was at peace.
I had the light within .

Music, the melody within
Happiness, sadness, passionate love ,
all kinds of feelings.
Hidden emotions deep within.
Coming to life, in a melody that
lives in our hearts
Listening to music can do the same .
Makes you feel, gives a smile
or tears in the eyes
Touches deep within
We recognize each other in just listening.
Brings us together,
makes one realize
how very much alike we are.
Different appearances
from different cultures and lands
Still it’s the same melody that touches our hearts.

Upside down 🍀
We live in a world
Where at the moment
everything is upside down
Where there is hate
There should be love
Where there are wars
There should be peace
Where people are like birds in cages
There should be freedom for us all.
It’s time for a change now
For a better world
Let’s make everything upside down
downside up again.

Think about all  that’s ahead
stay positive.

Invisible pain
Pain, sorrow and sadness from deep within.
The kind you can’t express,
can’t verbalize cause there are no words
to display the hurt you’re in.
The kind of sadness that makes you numb,  there seems no way how to overcome.
It’s a feeling that changes your view
On what this life is all about
and what lies ahead for you.
Translucent tears that fill the eyes are healing waters which wash away the sorrow of the heart.
When the eyes stay dry while the soul is in pain
that is when you have to worry
about the strain.
That’s when real trauma takes root,
that’s when you need guidance from above to survive mentally on your way.
We are all human beings with
all kinds of stress
Takes strength and a loving environment
to survive life’s tests.
Life is for many so hard and unfair,
it’s up to us all to help and lighten each other’s path.
So next time you meet someone quiet
with pain in dry eyes
try to reach out
to ease the mind.
Try to be  the light on their path.
Be part of their healing.

We all feel the same pain when hurt.
When sad. When disasters strike.
So be there for each other.

Autumn of day.
Time stands still.
Kayaking to the horizon, you can only hear last birds calling.
The sun is setting peacefully
while nightfall will soon begin.
It’s autumn of day.
Calming waters leading way
to soft endless skyline.
Looking at the cloudy cotton candy sky
night rain is in the air.
Promising a cozy night
with soothing sounds to sleep.
Lullaby for humankind
as long as humans be.
The sun is almost gone leaving
a fading yellow crown.
Remember me, I was here.
And lingers on.
I look around, hold my breath
say a silent prayer.
It’s times like this that I realize how precious this Earth is
as is the Creator.

While writing this I think of all the disasters.
Let’s take care of Earth.
Nature is beautiful but is can be very forceful and
without mercy. A very scary thing.

Missing your roots
Sitting alone
Thinking again and again
The images in my conscience can’t go away
I’m reminded every giving moment when I’m alone.
You gave me away
For what?
To thrive?
I don’t fit in in this society.
I’m from my land and my sea.
Miss my own people
I miss the old me.
I’m a stranger who doesn’t fit in.
I tried, God how I tried.
There is this long forgotten song
deep in me.
I’ve cried every night since you left me here.
I’m blood of your blood
How can’t you understand me.
Or feel what I feel.
Mother don’t you miss me?

It’s astonishing how adopted children always search for their biological parents, no matter how good they have it . In a way understandable too.

Precious it was.
Memories, light
Precious was the touch
Deep but fragile
Love we once had
Forever lost .
It’s now that I miss you.
Now that I appreciate what was.
Lost in a dream I dare to dream.
If only dreams could bring you back.

Being in love
Being in love so deeply
so beautiful and intense.
To be taken away
by the different winds
To a place unknown
a place far away
In the present tense
Take me wave of seas
to the horizon to be
Where heaven meets earth
Where my lover will be
Where no one knows
Where no one has to pretend
Where I can be in your arms
gaze deeply in your eyes
A longing to belong
as never known before
To let me take you in my arms
and make you mine.
To make a wish a dream come true.

We all fall in love ,

In the midst of summer heat
I dream of autumn colors.
Wanted to be on my parents farm again
by the big oak tree turning golden orange.
Many memories and longings overwhelming me.
It was there that I drew a heart together with my young forever love.
I can still smell the scent of hay in the barn
where I had my first kiss lying in his arms.
Precious are those moments back in mother’s kitchen, where we made shepherds pie, boiled potatoes
on an open fire.
Long gone are those days, still part of my everyday living.
There is where my core is,
part of me wants to go back.
Mountain’s view,
pine trees standing tall in silence.
Dear deer walking by looking at me with big dark eyes.
I feel tears falling.
I hear my mother calling
For me to come inside and leave this town behind.

We always long to go back home.

Park of Eden
Can this world be
a beautiful flower garden
Each flower adding up
making it a color sea
Cultivated or not,
Different kinds
Can exist together
In harmony
Creating
a colerful flower splendor as was meant to be
Can you imagine you and I amidst all others adding up to this world wonder it could be.
It wouldn’t be an ordinary garden but an endless spiritual park
Everything in harmony.

Human trafficking
She was walking all by herself
Left alone , no place called home
Being sold from border to land
No one knew no one who understands
She was just a teenage girl
They promised a work in this nobodies land.
Now all she had left was someone called “ daddy”man.
She prayed that there would come that day
Someone to rescue her and take her away.

Happening all over the world.
Imagine it was you.
A child, lying in the darkness
under open sky
Alone and hungry, no one cares
All night in freezing cold
No tears anymore
Big dry eyes with questions,
sadness.
Total numbness.
Till the breathing stops
A child, a man, a dog
Who cares?

The kiss
Why do you watch openly from afar but getting closer you got so shy.
Hiding behind the tree
Afraid I’m going to touch thee
I guess I want a kiss from you
A kiss is just a kiss
Or a sign
When it’s more then what it seems
and
butterflies are not death but still alive
It’s the beginning of something new.
A touch of the heart.


behind a cloud you hide
in my dreams I search for you
lingering moon love

God’s creations
Little white lily
we all recognize
Fleur de lis
Song of songs of the
Madonna.
Between the thorns you are
Six little petals in paradise
Symbol of
everlasting devotion
chastity, immaculate.
Fragrance so sweet
hanging heavy in the air
Rising up to heaven.
Pure wonder of nature
But then again
All flowers are.

A token of what was not.
I got one white rose
A token of his undying love
Immaculate and pure.
One by one the petals started falling
Now all I have is a stem with thorns
A petal from a rose falls without a thorn.
Now all I’m left with
is…
a token of what never was.

Silent explosions  in the sky.

and when they meet in twilight street.

Dream rendez vouz
At the dawn of my dreams
When eyes are closed
My dreams are awakening
Into the deep I go
Deeper and deeper I fall
A free fall
Until I see you there  with a tender smile
wake a dream
When we both are asleep
In the silence of our dreams is where we meet
Where everything you longed for is there
Take me along on your journey
How I care
I know you’ve been waiting
Wake a dream for me
Wake your dream and follow me
As soon as my eyes close
I’ll be there for you
Come and claim me.

Scents of fall
It’s getting colder
Autumn is around the corner.
Green leaves leave.
Orange, golden to brown to see.
Scents of earth come along
with terracotta colors,
fragrance of hay
Mint like cool in the wind
touching the skin.
Peppermint taste in my mouth
At home smell of baked potatoes,
chocolate and cinnamon welcome me.
I know an apple pie is in the oven.
