Mankind found many ways
to keep warm when it's cold.
Burning wood in a fire,
burning coal in a stove
and then burning gas, too.
There's central heating now,
even showers heat water themselves.
and don't forget underfloor heating.
But lately, all I desperately want,
during the cold days late in the year,
is heating in my toilet seat.

The dark rainclouds
chase away daylight...

Hours earlier than usual.

The clock is softly ticking
the whole morning away,

as time continues to pass on
into the afternoon and future.

The little girl never looked into the mirror.
'They call me names,' she thought,
'and there must be a reason.'
She guessed she was ugly, hideous to see,
why else would they turn their eyes away?
So she didn't bother to see her reflection
and avoided all mirrors for years.

The little girl was afraid of the scale.
'They call me names,' she thought,
'and there must be a reason.'
She realized she must be too fat,
why else would they all ignore her?
So the scales suffered the same fate
as the mirrors throughout the years.

The little girl didn't care for friends.
No one stood by her for very long,
there was no reason to miss them.
She thought she wasn't nice enough,
otherwise they'd surely stay with her.
So a high and a strong wall was built
to protect her feelings during each year.

After years and years the older girl found some courage
to look into one of those dreadful mirrors
and her reflection gave her a nasty shock.
As for all these years she hadn't cared for herself
and her unkempt outer self hid all her inner beauty.
'I truly am an ugly person,' was all she could think,
and she decided she would stop caring.

The little girl grew up hating herself
and no one ever noticed her turmoil.
She stopped caring about how she looked
and just showered and dressed every day
as if she wasn't any special at all.
But her inner beauty struck all around
and everyone wondered why she was so modest.

Rain, lightning and thunder.

Let's put on some music,
curl up on the couch together
and pretend the sun's shining.

Sometimes the dark
threatens to overwhelm,
it comes ever closer
trying to consume us.

Darkness and shadows
are always around,
no matter where we go
and what we do.

The black abyss will
always try to capture us,
try to lure us into egoism,
to tension and stress.

Thoughts might go crazy,
raving around in your head
and scaring away Reason,
while welcoming Chaos.

The mouth exclaiming
hurtful words and phrases
we usually never
even bother to think of.

The ears twist sounds
and hear only attacks,
the mind not understanding
that someone wants to help.

Body is locked down,
all muscles tensed,
ready for defense
but also ready to strike.


Beware of falling
into the far depths
of the black darkness.

Beware of the shadows
which slowly grow
in your delicate heart.

Beware of nurturing
Chaos instead of Reason
in your ever changing mind.

Remember the Love.

He was so many things.

A man
An artist
An actor
A lover
A friend

But above all
he was a musician,
and a great one as well.

It's time to start
gathering his work
instead of only listening
to dad's collection.
