Sometimes out of the blue
it hits you.
This special feeling coming over you
from long ago
when you were a child
When you were home
A longing for what was
but has gone by.
It’s still inside you.
makes you happy
makes you cry.
It defines who you are
and why you are
the way you are.

Nostalgia, sometimes when you close your eyes you can feel exactly as you did when growing up. In your home!!

Majestic trees.
Witnesses of all time.
On holy grounds they are.
Many people laid to rest everywhere over millions of years.
Living further in green suits,
majestic and tall.
In all shapes and forms.
People come and go.
Look at them standing now.

Forest full of green
Our ancestors watching.
Giving us oxygen to breathe.
Handle it with care.

Realize the worth of nature. We are part of it.
Destroy it and we destroy ourselves.

The crown 👑
Corona seems such a sweet name.

The howling wind is passing by
When they bury the men
and the  people cry
So many lifes forever changed.

Lockdowns all around
Nothing more the same
A crown shaped virus
Is to blame.

Corona doesn’t ask  
what’s your color
what’s your race
what’s your faith
not even what’s your name.

The whole world
for once together
suffering the same
So many hurt
So much  pain remains.

Searching hands
Bloodshed on living walls.
In the name of light of peace.
Searching hands in yellow clouds.
Reaching for the untouchable men behind the gate.
Not knowing what they are doing.
Where they are going.
Man versus man.
I meet you on the battle field.
Look at me .
I am you .
Both lost in this political game.
Let the bloodshed stop.
Let us go together to only light
To brotherhood.
Heal everything that’s broken.
No more darkness behind closed doors.

Where Peace on Earth awaits.

Timeless
While time goes by

I disappear, slowly
Losing myself in eternity
Timeless

Growing old
everyday living and dying a little
Time never stops until the breathing stops
The clock stays ticking.

Trough moons eyes I see
A world asleep

So many wandering at night
Homeless in the cold
Searching for a place to hide
Lovers whispering,  looking at me.

Midnight’s dream garden
Take me dream to pleasant dreams
In silence
On  night’s island
where different colored flowers are awake under dark velvet blanket sky
In the presence of white admirals.
Black feline on the hunt
watching carefully this strange behavior.

Listening to silent night
of peaceful midnight longings.
Where in my dream I’ll pick for you beautiful wildflowers
Smell the sweet scent of nights air
while waiting for you
in my dream’s dream garden.

Mirror images
Clear soft blue sky
Not a cloud not a star
See your mirror image
in the  not rippled waters
Two pale moons to  be seen
Not a breeze you can feel
Not a sound you can hear
Silence all around
Giving innerpeace to be
I look at natures flawless painting
Gods own creation
Reminds me of all the mirror images on this earth.
Look at you and see me.

Early morning sky.
Velvety morning rise in the West.
Apricot-skin like, you appear.
While half moon is still here.
You announce the sun
to greet the moon before she goes.
To shine her tender light elsewhere.
Ocean waters change with their interplay.
Peaceful beach morning awaits.

In the depths of the eyes
Look at inner self
Where do this strong feelings
come from
The ones you have to live with day by day
The dreams that haunt you all the way
The restlessness
The hidden passion of a soul in pain
You are beautiful and strong
Take a look inside, who did you wrong?
Who left you alone and broken
So much guilt you carry with you.
Take a good look and know it wasn’t your fault.
It wasn’t your fault that they left .
I hope you can see that now.
Leave it behind and heal your inner core.
It’s time to let it go and move forward.
Let the strong adult you
take care of this  hurt innerchild The one that’s still inside of you.
Only then the sadness in the depths of your eyes will go away
Only then the smile
will also reach the eyes

Heal your inner child to be free and happy .

Dementia
When the one you love
is losing the way,
forgetting everything that was.
Seeing everything in another way.
Doesn’t know anymore who you are.
Stranger all the way.
Want to scream mother this is me!! She looks at you but doesn’t see!!
Hurts to the bone
Whole world is falling apart
Losing   someone while they’re still here gives
So much pain in the heart.

~When memories are lost everything is lost~

Closer to God
Sitting in rainy weather
Let soft rain caress your face
While there’s much pain and sadness
All the tears are washed away
Lift your face up, search for rainbows and skies blush of bride.
See the colors of life reflected
In the limit of the sky.
Feel the warmth of the sun
on a life full of sadness full of sorrow.
There will always be skies colors,
always an upcoming sun.
Just close your eyes
let tears fall in silence
Blessings of the rain will fall
Warmth of love will lift you up
Carry you to special places
close to colors, close to light
Closer to God.

Ocean at twilight
Ocean waves are restless
It’s that time of the day when the sea waits for the moon to rise
For turning tides and changing surface
to yellow sparkles
Like stars born in liquid gold
The sky says goodbye to sun closing eyes while leaving brushes of bright orange behind
Low hanging clouds like flying dark ducks as if wanting to get home before falling of dark
Mountains afar are turning grey
Going out of sight
It’s time for the lingering love between nightfall and waves
when twilight sets in
at ocean’s side.

Panic attacks
When people are living in fear
no one understands.
When something  happens
in your life
putting everything
upside down
Something unexpected
You  lose your balance
sometimes even your control.
The inner peace  has disappeared

This makes,  the once for you so beautiful world,
a fearful place no one
wants to know.
It brings pain to the the heart
and gives a restless soul....

Strong people seem weak now losing their mind,
missing their goal.
Many with panic attacks
no one seems to understand
Its a real thing
Let’s all keep an open mind.

Many people are very stressed now given the situation the world is in.

From hurt to happiness
I am sad.
This balloon is all I have.
Cheering  me up while hurting.
Why parents act so mean.
I rather run away with my balloon
then let it go.

Dear pet
When no one is here
you are by my side
Looking at me as if understanding.
That I’m in need of touching love.
You lick my face.


The words flow out of my mind
On paper white,
screen’s delight.
In many ways
I’ve learned to find
peace of mind.
Look at me now
I am a happy human being.

One white rose
Thank you for the rose my love
I fly high and still look at you from above, every day.
I know you have many silent tears and so much pain in your heart.
Yes today was the day and that was the place.
I fell from that wooden bridge and drowned .
You must know I fell because of my seizure.
Your little man I was.
Always together, always taking care of me.
Being sick wasn’t easy on you as a single parent.
But what a love you gave me my love.
What a lovely mom you were.
Know that I’m not far away.
I am free as a bird in the sky
I often come and sing a song in the tree next to your window.
Tell you what I see up there.
It’s all good and I’m not sick here.
My one wish is for you to smile.
Maybe when my little brother arrives.
I will be still here, watching.
Thank you for the rose my love.
