what is
friendship
a ship
in a safe harbour
full of happiness and trust and
love
but what if this ship leaves
the harbour
of love
and set sails
for the steep shores
of fame and money and power
but what is power?
isn´t power the thing you feel when
you share your self-made chocolate cake
and sing along together to the old songs?
isn´t power the thing you mostly just call
love?
but would anyone have set sails and left the harbour
if he´d still remember this
the chocolate cake
and
the love
because he once had to know that
or why do I remember it.
