movin' on
see the shadows movin'
see the shadows movin' closer
see the shadows fadin'
creepin' under my skin
feel the freeze, feel all that confusion
it just wants to hold me sweet
then I lose it. higher. goosebumps
beasts collide becoming one
you and I need to know that we have to keep movin' on
movin' on, movin', movin' on
beasts are colliding
could it be that I've been holding on to you
yet I feel unease and compulsion
these voices all in my head
clinging to my bones
what ever beast it is I am not willing to hurt it
it keeps coming, trying to creep up on me
I feel it from head to toe
stop colliding voices in my mind

it's raining
it is raining, it's raining in my heart
from grief, from anger, but also from bliss
because I have everything and more than I need
but under skin & bone lies my heart like a burning stone
it is raining, it's raining on a stone
raindrops hiss, vapor, then they're gone
how many gallons of water are needed to cool it?
millions more, I want it all 'til it's a lake, grey in blue
drip that drop that stop that dripping drop
it's raining, it's raining on a lake
it's crystal clear, calm and yet awake
a lake rich in knowledge, patience and peace
only a swan battles the water surface, fluttering wings
drip that drop that stop that dripping drop
it's raining, and it is raining in my heart
they drip, the drops. then they stop
swans fly, the lake lies still, the stone is dry and soon it will be hot again
washed up seeds will sprout, grow and bloom. it's a thrill.

tree song
I learned from a tree to live from water & light
and to be thirsty for more
I learned from a tree to endure the drought
and to save myself when it gets cold
I learned from a tree to root, grow and sprout
to wave my crown in the breeze
I learned from a tree to wear my loudest colors
and then to dance with the storm
yes, I will keep dancing with the storm
I learned from a tree adaptability,
'n to keep looking for the light
always enjoy the sun
I learned from a tree to live peacefully
and stand with my limbs so bare
and to listen to the songs of the wind
and whisper them into the night
I whisper songs of the trees into the night
I whisper songs of the wind into the night

kaleidoscope
the sun through my closed eyes
and thoughts about the meaning of life
seem to be a kaleidoscope
pieces fall, colorful, in a dialogue
then they rearrange in new ways
a kaleidoscope
the birds winging their way through the sky
the clouds so dark, underneath a fire
seem to be a kaleidoscope
too bad sun and trees burn through our hands
will they rearrange in new ways ?
a kaleidoscope
listen to the lungs of the earth. do you hear them crackling?
children already know and wonder why mankind is taking the pure essence we still ignore
breathing brown air is that human nature?
let’s rearrange it, come closer, stranger!
and see the sun through my closed eyes
a kaleidoscope

white wall
grey in a mellow mood, where the sunlight can't get through
white and clear, precise and strong at noon
friendly, tired, orange pink when the day is done
and when everyone is peacefully in dreams you are still up and numb
So numb
you and I we both have tried it
giving us the space we needed
you and I we had a thing
I have lost my mind on the way
I'm observing this quiet wall
trying to figure out what it might think
here I sit and rest and wait and wonder
where did it end?
so strange to me, how does it feel to you?

I know now
won't you get in my way
you feel so strong but I am, too
I'll pack my bag and walk my way
I know now what to do
won't you get in my way
seeing a beautiful life
life's not waiting for us
but we can shape it everyday
oh I know now what to do
break the chains don't break the rules
but open yours
we are wild and we are free
let the music spread it's mystery
oh I know now what to do
feel it in every vain
let the spirits leave their common places
call it beauty call it love
happiness double if we share
