First Vow.
My Creator is mine and I am His.
I am from Him and myself alone.
All the days of my life,
till dawn meets dawn.
I’m nesting in His love and do not need more.
Till time doesn’t exist anymore.

Love’s ceiling
You have to fall in love with living first,
with moon and sun and stars.
With all kinds of human beings,
to make this world
overcome all kinds of fears.
To be able to dance.
Dance with you,
dance with you all night long.
All night long under the light of moonshine.
Until the twelfth hour.

Love living and everything will be okay.

Graceful tree.
Looking at the elegance of the tree
I want to freeze time.
Freeze the moment of the movement
with the wind.
Capture every branch,
every twig,
every leaf.🍃
Like it captures me.
Can’t stop looking.

Light within ✨✨✨✨
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 .

Soon only a memory.
In twilight’s light
another day is passing
Like a little sailboat on open waters.
Sinking sun slowly fading.
Looking through the frame of life I see
different pictures passing.
Seems like yesterday I came through dark waters.
Embracing light of life full
of sunshine full of rain.
Soon the time will come as twilight time is over.
Stepping into night of life
to meet the light of darkness.
Pastel view, soon yesterday’s
memory.
Smelling blooming fragrance and the scent of fresh coffee
while life is growing older.

Yesterdays, yesteryears
Soon only a memory of you.

When you lose  someone you realize even more how we all will be a memory sometime.

Mona Lisa triste
Truth and sadness are always silent.

Mona Lisa , Mona Lisa
Men must have just told you
How beautiful you are.
What all seem to have missed
is the sadness behind the smile.
When you look
throughly and  sincerely
you can see the pain within the eyes.

We all have a little bit of Mona Lisa inside.

Sadness is part of living. How often we smile while being intensely sad.
Standing in the shadow of life.
I watch others flourish in warmth of light.
Happy to be part of this wonderful world.
Full of color and sound.
Giving me peace just being.
Enjoying all little things,
miraculous and beautiful.
I’m mourning but still
blooming from gratitude,
living inside of me.
For everything that is and was.

When being aware of all little blessings despite all the grief there is in this world, in our life,  you can flourish. Be thankful, always.

To be born.
Being in love with life,
with love.
Love for living things.
Nature, music,
You,
who I haven’t met yet.
Like
a melody I haven’t heard yet.
Warming my heart already,
making me happy.
Just waiting to be born.

And there I was, in a colorful world.
Listening to the song of
nature.
Watching all kinds of animals and all kinds of people together in harmony.
Wondering where all the water was.
Then I recognized you.
You are my mother.

Silent bird
The bird sat still
For years.
One wing was free.
First moving wildly,
while the other was tied down.
The bird learned through watching.
Fed by the wind.
To survive this flightless life,
still full of light.
Never reaching potential heights.
Now set free he didn’t even know how to fly anymore.
There sits a still bird still.
Watching.
Wondering what it’s like
up there .

The old and the new
Pearls of blood in eyes of Mary.
Waves of sadness hit me all the time.
What once was, now gone without a proper goodbye.
Pray for health to watch you grow,  bud of life.
While praising by living healthy.
Try to be kind and grateful all the time.
Live life with grace and elegance.
Like a flower in the wind.
Always staying in the wild.

The wildflower liked being in the wild. Flourishing in silent peace.
While dancing in the wind.

I kissed the day, it turned
into night.
I waited…. and…
you brought the moon.
Making my dreams come true.
Along came the dawn.
With break of day
you were going away.
Birth of the sun
Making me blush and bloom
while waiting for you.
My moon.

Happiness means letting go

Hold my hand.

Hear your mother calling.

Ultimate freedom’s music.
Singing the song of harmony.
Welcoming you,
out of darkness
into the arms of light.

Little sparkles in dementia
All was dark
Lost,
no lights.
Then she heard a song
A tear fell from deep within
She remembered him.



Shell✨🐚
Clear moments of our loved ones who are lost in their own.
He left, his bride I was.
It’s silent…..everyday.
No Melody inside.
Trust died and there is only fear now.
No confidence anymore.

Abandoned…. I was standing there in distress.
I could hear my heartbeat, the sighing when the wind was still.
Sunbeams were cold on my naked skin.
I felt like an empty canoe on open waters.
Waiting ….
Suddenly without destination.
Weeping is all I could do,
bridal tears falling.
Cry me deep waters and I want to drown.
Reflection of pain like branches heavy  with dejection.
Hanging low, longings of what once was.
Now lost.
See….
Weeping willow along the lake.
You see me.


Shell ✨🐚
Many are lost when a loved one leaves.
Ancient history always here
It’s part of us , we carry it everywhere.
Melancholic melody of life
coming back to us time after time.
It’s in the song of breath
of all living things
and the silent memory of our lost loved ones
We never will forget.
As long as there is Mother Earth there will be flowers everywhere,
as there will be wars no matter what.
Because ..
we don’t listen, we don’t learn.

Flowers for young girls everywhere
Young girls for young men how they care
Young men for wars to fight for peace.
Because that’s what they have
to do .

Mothers lose sons
Women lose loved ones
Young ones lose fathers
Field without flowers
Taken
Only graveyards to see
Graveyards to reach peace.
And then everything went silent.
Left, a heart filled with pain
Eyes filled with tears.

Then, song on repeat
Field of flowers once again
Ancient history today next to where we stand
And the young girl runs once again
to pick some flowers
from a field with blooming colors

In every flower lies the spirit of all of holy ground.
Those who gave their lives come see them when you watch a field of flowers.

You’ll be the most exotic butterfly.

Once the unknown is known life will be beautiful .


Shell ✨🐚
Live your life , don’t be afraid of the unknown.,
You are on the battlefield
Killing another human being
Do you know him?
Throwing bombs and firing missiles.
Killing innocent children.
Innocent just like yours.
Don’t you have children in your family?
Do you feel good doing this, satisfied?
To be the cause of so much pain and sadness.
Look at each other on the battlefield.
You two are the same.
Killing for peace.
You won’t die a hero.
There are no winners in war, only losers.

For another day.

Blushing moon
I’m taking the highway through nature
to fly me to the universe.
Finding black holes leading me into other galaxies.
To find my own milky runway cherry blossom moon.
Where portals are being opened
far beyond existing cotton candy clouds.
and where stars are nearby.
Where the moon is a reflection
of a blood sun.
Purple moon with golden halo
why are you blue sometimes.
Disappearing on your dark canvas
making me a moonless night.
Come out and shine your pink moonbeams on Earth,
making Earthlings blush
under your charming creamy eyes .

Summer’s golden touch
wild flowers bright,
colorful canvas under cloudless sky.
hot air everywhere.
Time to fall in love.

I was born different.
They knew from the start.
I was a healthy baby boy.
Really cute and beautiful too.
But then I started crying.
All day and all night long.
No one knew what the problem was.

Bring me to places
Where it is quiet and peaceful.
Dear mother, I know.
I am as I am and only you understand.
I need calmness in my head.

Today when day was almost done
I tried to capture a sensational blood sun
guiding me home.
Tangelo peel colored sky
calling twilight’s name
in soft whispers,
gliding on the wind.
Time of silence was setting in

Blind bats going wild,
feeling night fall,
seeing…..
while the sun was going under.

While winter is going to sleep
Spring is awakening

It’s the time for new beginnings.

Just one life.
While flowers bloom till their colors fade away
Trees grow taller everyday
Every new day a beginning or an end.
Every day a choice you make.


We all live from day to day.
Knowing there will come that time
That we will die.
Still we’re living our life not in the best way.
When hearing a diagnosis of a terminal disease
knowing and seeing , experiencing
near end,
from yourself or a loved one,
you see people change and living life suddenly another way.
When being confronted with death our second life starts
and the first one is over.
You now learn to live with grief.
Priorities change.
To live life is to not forget that it ends.
Living with the right priorities.
Knowing it can be over any given moment.
In life many things just happen to you.
Things come your way, things you can’t control.
So, try
to do the right thing, concerning what you can control, choose your ways in life  wisely.
Love and respect yourself, know your worth.
Live with faith, love and kindness inside.
Be there for your fellow man.
When your time of grief starts that’s what will carry you through.

In stillness
We cry when being born
we die in stillness


Surrounded by stillness
Blurred vision, can’t see far.
I am in slow motion,
body and mind
Till I stand still.
Nothing is moving
The wind is on mute.
Not even a whisper.
I meet myself at my own horizon.
I feel me.
From high to low I go.

You are all you have.
Nothing more nothing less.
Black of night travels through time
to meet light of day.
Don’t lose yourself in infinity.

I’m still here.
The same inside.
Older outside.
In stillness all we have is our memories and conscience.
In warm or cold embrace.
You connect with universe and God.
In stillness.
It will carry you till your last day.
Find inner-peace in solitude
and you’ll die a peaceful man.
