With myself
When I am with myself
there is room around the middle
When I am wide inside myself
my breath can flow
When I stay at home in myself
I can see you from within

Prayer
I pray for Power
power without injury
for it knows no separation
I pray for nearness
nearness not holding demands
for it does not hold a verdict
I pray for confidence
confidence in seeing what is now
with all its possibilities
I pray for serenety
to let be what is
and to do what I have a decision for
I pray for love…
may we fill this word with meaning.

Now
The Planet is in flames
and we are shopping
babies starve at their mothers‘ breast
and we watch TV
Animals are being tortured
and we eat them
We die from the inside
and…do we realize it?
It is time
for waking up
to take conscious decisions
to let the pain get to us
to no longer sedate it
Each tear must run for the Planet
So we can live here again
not only exist
and fool ourselfs thinking we’d be living
When are we alive?
Yesterday?
Tomorrow…
When are we alive now?
There is no insurance for this…
The Now is an unisurable risk
Let’s go for it!
Now.

Who am I?
What is now
Who is thinking this
when was Now born
What is the colour of truth
why am I
what shall I do
I do…
I do…
How do I do?
How am I?
Right now?
In this very Moment
What do I feel?
Do I feel the Now…
or is it the past…
What is Now?
What is….
Is -the Now?
Why can I think?
Does this matter…
How can I be here?
When I think from the past and expect of the future….
Am I here?
Where is here…
What is here…
Who is Now?
Who am I …now?
I am Now.
No matter who I am …
My body is time my soul is timeless…is it?
What do I call soul?
how does the soul exist
Is it Now?
Is the Soul the Now?
Who am I?

Awoken
my inside has awoken
but still I take fear in the world
though now I know it is my decision
to be afraid
but still I have this fear
holding on and on to it
I have awoken,
from the dream that everything is in order
and see that it really is like that
That gives me fear.
How can it be in order-the way it is
and still it is so…
and not different
but different it is, too
I can make it be different
from now
for this I have awoken
to do it
now
not tomorrow
but fear keeps me back
it still does
what good is it to be awoken?
At least I see it
feel it
am shattered by it.
Consciously
experience the pain
my body knows it
my mind knows it
my soul screams
Make it be different!
Everything is in order.
Now

There is a place in me

There is this place in me

This place is inside me

What is truth?
Where to be found?
Is it in writing?

What is the feeling that goes with it?
Does my body know about truth?

Who else is there to ask?
What is behind words?
What is a feeling based upon?
What is truth?

Dream capsules
Our dreams are seed capsules

deeply and creatively
This is an invitation

For the Children
To all the lonely children
There is a mother that always protects you
There is a mother that always embraces you
Deep inside you there is a mother
she is always here
However you may name her
she always keeps you warm
no matter how cold it is around you…
You can rely on this mother
– always –

H 2 0 ?
Thousands of years old water
rests in little molecules
swings down the waterfall
bursts into thousand pieces
united in the foaming boom
it reaches the sea
enclosed by vastness
filled with algae and ice
fish cross in its way
which always flows in circles
soft waves tower up
to high thrillers—their skin gleaming with light
tube-shaped a surfer sails
in the wind of depth
Sea gals circle the capaciousness
dance their roundel of air
Big seals gather lazily on windswept rocks
Nature sprouts in corals
slowly, very slowly
the land grows
to elsewhere be swallowed by the sea
again…

Poem for an unborn
Little red ghost
has flooded the secret memory garden with wise young love
life put in rose like patience heart breeze from soft woman queen
light gold water dome floats on old singing wood
Sound shines
Green golden love bird above silver tree paradise
wanting my company
His eye is drinking the beautiful vintage rainbow
daffodil spirit beneath soaked summer storm
dancing rain after hot dew sun
so the earth voice found only sweet jungle food
Children never sleep —
they lie guided
in a thousand moon river dreams

Scars
I still carry the scars of birth on me
I still carry the scars, they’re here-
Now I still carry the scars
of the hard edge on you,
I still carry the scars
I thank you,
Now I always carry the scars
you cannot see,
I always carry the scars
when will you see
that I still carry on –
the scars in me
and learn with the scars
in the now to be.

Startime
A star
shines for me
when I’m alone
A star
at night through the clouds
A star
shines inside me,
when I’m lonely
stays near my heart
at night
underneath the clouds
A star
shines its light on the path in front of me
in the night time when I’m with myself
and covers what is behind me
in gentle light
A star
shines for me
-always-

The Secret
The Secret is like a light
Falling through a keyhole
While the keyhole itself
you do not see
Sometimes it only needs a turn
of the head
To undo its magic
To renew the magic
It needs
the heart of a child

The Feeling
Slowly I let the waves unfurl throughout my body
They flow through my innermost being
reaching the smallest veins
Past and future mingle
and I am now
The evening sun shines onto my hair
permeating me like the veins of a leaf
filling my consciousness with nourishing warmth
melting into my body
leaving it at rest and in peace
in an equilibrium of feelings
I feel that I live in this warmth
and am at home in everything
Past and future in the sun
composed to the now and here
without emotion, without thought, without any wish
only existence
pure being
in the belly of my mother earth
I wander across this world
I am in her
and through her
Forgotten are all the combating emotions
wiped away are refusal and sorrow
as if they were never to be again and would never have been
I feel strengthened
and balanced
connected to everything around me
inside me
I am no longer a person
I am human, animal, plant and mineral
I am the snow on the slope
the wheel of the train on the rail
I am my clothes
and the couple across the road
I am their kisses
and the tree in front of the window
the little beetle in it
and the air
I am the water and the sun
touching the earth
I am !

My lonely heart
My lonely heart has many holes
My lonely heart hurts oh so much
My lonely heart longs for love dearly

My lonely heart stumbles all the way

why do you turn me away?

School of Life
Aren’t we all just pupils in the big school of life,
Wandering
Longing
Learning
Saving our life to be our future
Foreboding of bliss in every aspect
Through the hardships and pain
Mingling -with the equinoxes of feelings – the great unknown in us
Wandering
Longing
Learning
Solstice of stars travellers
Turquoise spring well basins- full of expectation of beauty -when we’re born
Travelling
Tracing
Being
Handbags full of experience collected trough our lives
With the gadgets for the next ones
Interacting
Intermingling
Fulfilling
Moving in through what we call time and space
In our realities- that we create -and that we are called upon
Feeling
Reaching
Hoping
Searching for love and finding it
In the arms of our parents, our lovers, our children
In the arms of Mother Nature and all her faces
And finally…in ourselves.
And that is only the beginning…always the beginning

Winter
Ice crystals shimmer in the late
morning sunlight
The white mist of coldness
rises from the forest pastures
plants, congealed in brown glimmer
Stick up by the wayside
venturous bird cries follow my path
through the keen air
I walk in mesmerized contemplation
of the emptiness, the reduction to the essential
the inward retraction
touches the core of my heart
___________________________________________
Angel
Now you have gone away
in our hearts you stay
Now you have gone away
one step up the way
Now you have gone away
Your laughter was so gaye
Now you see us from up there
and live forevermore

Being a poem
I check my fingers
I am not here
But I am
I am inside myself
writing a poem
The words
flowing out of
my hand
into the pencil
–
onto the Paper
like a painting it grows
subconsciously
always there
coming out
of the soul
spirit of spirits
change
always the same
little space in my heart
but so wide
It contains everything-
is all it is
Inside is outside
Change is stability
I cannot become
I can only be
always be
new

_______________
Forest
You’ll find the wisdom of the woods
within their roots
You’ll find the love of the trees
within their leaves
You’ll find the ancient beliefs
in the air
as it passes through the branches
from here to there

Meditation: How can I love myself?

Movement
Pain only passes
by walking through it
Blockage only loosens
by movement
Movement only happens
by eternal beginning
Beginning always requires
a decision for it

My Body
My body is the gift of my parents to me
My body is my friend which I take by the hand
and lead through life
My body is the fire point
of my past and future
in the present
My body is the focus of my soul
made to give it wings
My body is the language in which I
communicate with life
It is the way of learning through experience

You are only
what you give
that is the true meaning

Sudden understanding
Like an inexplicable word
the sudden understanding strikes through me
—as if I stood amidst of it
and it amidst of me
It embraces everything
and still is not embraceable
(I can’t put my finger on it)
Various thoughts of interpretation come up
but none quite reaches it
the understanding is like a state – a condition
like existence itself
It comes into me like the atmosphere
of a room that I enter
– and which I know –
without a word from anyone
Whatever I think
the more I think about it –
the more unclear it becomes in my mind
It is only be…
or not to be,
that is the question here!
As long as I ask I can be,
as soon as I answer
I am bound by necessity

sunset
The wind whistles the earth song into my ears
Carries sweet sound through my body and soul
While the spectacular sunset unfolds around my eyes
Magical blue
Exeptionally orange
Unpredictable purple
Parading yellow
The trees stand sentinel
For this experiment of colour
Powered by light
Cloudfingers stroking the air
Fantastical shape explosion
running through my veins
touching my
Soul

The Gift of Peace
Peace is a gift that you always hold
when giving…
It is like the sun shining into your face
through eyelids closed
It is the salvation you feel, when you have
taken on a big dare
and feel that all will turn out good
even if the times are bad
So it is the inner peace, that the tortured feels,
when dying with a sigh of the uplifted heart
and knowing that this has sown the seed of Peace
in his oppressors heart
Peace is the enlightened flame in the heart of
darkness
Peace is a gift…

The Light
Once into the Light you Step
-
you never forget –
you can do it again
move to rest within
can feel your head getting clear
when the longing of life wants you near
Nothing is denied
in the face of this light

Way home
Flaming hearts
Sprout into colourful plants,
which open as roses in the midday sun.
-Indulge their leaves in the rays-
Light-yellow sunlight
announces in orange colored clouds,
the evening in the water glass.
Cushy coolness glides over the motionless air
Winds blow over softly,
while the evening contains the whole day.
Have I ever seen the likes of this red sunset?
Wandering veils haul themselves trough the sky blue,
that is becoming more saturated and velvety.
-Glaze –
like glowing steel,
with a cotton wool hat,
swelling up the cloud towers in the high wind.
The moon appears faintly on the other side
— Equilibrium —
Begun stillness that awakens so much,
to me, is endless bedtime stories
Reflecting in the stars
— Glitter —
Keeping me company into slumber…
As does the scent of moist grass…
On my way home

We Are
Organic creatures
See no use
In forgetting themselves
Remember everything
See everyone
Ritual living
Ritual giving
Fighting
and
Forgiving
Smile and Cry
Tears of the earth
When the forest dies
When they die
From our hands –
of our guilt …
We want so much
and forget
We already have all
Because We Are
the same
Brothers and Sisters
Of nature
