What Didn’t Change

The world was turned
upside down
I floated in the dark
But the stars that we saw
when we met
are still where they are

Rising Sun

Feet in the mud
of the polder
as the cold and the rain
caress my face
The winter wind plays
joyfully with my hair
The grey sky kisses me
the river smiles
as if it is the first time
as if there’s only now

Falcons fly above my head
and promise victory
Birds of the Rising Sun
Ancient Egypt deities
greet me
and I greet you from far
in gold rimmed thoughts
And I know I will,
we will rise

Reborn

And it was dark before my eyes
no memory, no history
without a story all that was left
within
was the light, the moment
that opened
the heart to love

To be reborn
in innocence
in the light of Christmas

A Racing Heart

A heart that is beating too fast
that is racing and aching
gasping for breath
is just missing and longing
and running
with all that it’s got
towards you

Paint

A world grey of
what I’m not able to do
what I don’t want
what I’m missing
I paint it with love
