Ages of this world

It is true ...

ages come and go,

but we always remain the same,

looking at each other ...

rain is falling

around us

droplets, light, and memory –

I love you –

says every raindrop

this story can never be undone ---

it is like a knot in my heart,

– and whenever I see you

I turn back to it,

taking up the story were we left ...

Ages come and go

but in my heart

you always will remain,

smiling at me

across this chasm of life

– that is tearing us apart ---

Your smile will remain for all eternity,

and my heart will keep on beating

as long as I see your smile,

it is as easy as that –

And yet we stand a thousand feet apart.

When the rain is falling upwards

and the air smells of spring,

I will come for you

and take you by your hand –

– there has never been the chance

of another life,

but in my heart

I keep the shards of your smile,

age after age ...

It is true,

this story can never be undone,

– just as the 'mountains will not 'fall in a day. –

I remain on the brink of eternity, watching the horizon

for more rain to come ...

Take my hand,

I say to you,

take my hand even as we smile across these thousand feet apart, a chasm of life,

that we can but dream across ...

take my hand

bag my eyes for all eternity, and your smile for me

lasts ages of this world

– droplets, light, and memory –

we cannot but dream

though life might be kinder as long as we smile

at each other .

Pine trees and the sea



I beseech you, love

that was lost ere dawn

to sea-gulls and the ocean wide

to turn back - look at me! -

behold what might have been -

In a fairytale slumber

I reach for you, longing for a kiss -

- thin as air, the ocean stole you -

- I wake on empty brains ...

I look at you, my love,

without remorse, for though

we cannot be reborn

or join this side of death,

my heart will know you evermore

and say no more of loss -

In a groove of ancient pine trees

I bury my heart.

Will you ever remember yester eve

ere the world was born?

I fell in love with you

when I heard your voice,

saw your smile,

and felt your spirit

- life might have crushed me.

But here,

under earth and needles

my heart will be safe

in its earthly slumber,

waiting for you ...

One day you might remember.

Luck is, to see double rainbows in the sky,
a helpful person near you, stand by.
Luck is, to walk through a forest in silence,
so to get a good health and balance.

Luck is, to hear the harp‘s lovely melody,
in the morning you feel, as you can fly.
Luck is, if you can play the piano wunderful
and make people happy and powerful.

Luck is, to listen the birds in holy paradies,
the sound stay in your heart very nice.
Luck is, if an angel is with you on the road,
when it will get cold, you have a coat.

Luck is, if you get time and a smile,
from an unknown person for a while.
Luck is, you are part of your family,
to have great fun, a home and stability.

Luck is, if you live the present of your lifes,
if the sun is shining, or you‘re in crises.
Do the best for yourself and all the others,
life will develop like trees and flowers.
