What is War but...

What is war but the acknowledgement
of the defeat of heart & soul
what is torture but the sell out
of your values

Feed me now and lay me down later

one moment comes and another goes
while life happens in between
the joys and sorrows
of today become
the joys and sorrows
of tomorrow

"Wolf & Sheep"

I am the forgiveness that's hard to find
I am not the one that lives to judge
I am the sheep in the wolfs pelt
that cries foul
I am the wolf pretending to be a sheep
because even wolfs deserve love

Real-lative

some say life is relative I say its real-lative
I am the surprise around the next corner
I am the current that runs through my brain
I am the song that plays in my mind
I am the observer of the observed
I am the judge of my perspectives

Happy New Year

A song from man to man

I see you as my father
The donor of my heritage

I feel like you are my brother
The keeper of my past

I play with you as my son
To show you the mirror that can teach you

I touch your heart as a friend
And put my trust in you

I work for you as my boss
To climb the ladder of success

I adore you as my hero
That deserves my highest respect

I watch you like myself
To free myself of weakness

I compete with you as an athlete
For glory and for medals

I fight you as my enemy
As my soul searches for forgiveness

I love you as my twin soul
Because in spirit we are one

I fear you as a God
The judge of my life’s purpose

"The grace of G.O.D."

After every year comes another day
Another new beginning
Another chance to love
Time does not matter
Only love matters
Only love manifests
What we really want

It is nourishing to our heart
And uplifting to our soul
Our life is filled with possibilities
To be the graceful beings
That we are born to be
Our mind creates many images and
Opportunities to choose from
Which help us to reach our personal potential

Wise beings celebrated
Our unique relationship to Nature
With rituals and prayer
To remind everybody
That life is an act of balance
Of giving and resting

We uplift the part in us
That is free of Ego identification
The higher self that knows
What is best for this planet
With its inhabitants
Every moment is a celebration
Of the miracle of life
Every moment
Is an act of the grace of God

GOD – Grand Overall Design
Founded on unity and harmony
Created through movement and chaos

The One we are part off
The One we return to
Always ready to feel, to fill and
To empty itself
An angel in a poor man's outfit
That gives freely of itself
The willpower that replenishes all
Like an eternal spring connected
To every single one of us

We are bound to this source of love
The divine manifests through us
In the heart, the core of our being
Which represents all possibilities
Never ending and ever expanding
Like a soul that has no form and all forms
Because it is free of time and space

New words, new visions are needed
To describe the wonders to come
Our minds have to be unveiled
To see for the first time the truth
A truth unfiltered, unaltered
By meritocracy and mind control

The moment has come
To accept that we are but a hologram
Of our internal computer
Running on a limited software program
The time is now to unplug our potential
And in an instant everything is united
We enter the "The Unified Field"
Of a higher consciousness

" Stepping into White"

I am inspired to see with a poets eye
to me Life is a time machine it sucks me into its outline
and leads me back to a world of the past
I see elements, building blocks that create
the back drop to my projected story
as I step forward into white
I carry the remands of memory with me
and walk along the unpaved roads
the walls that speak volumes
the scribbles that captured a mood that has long past
like the smoke of an old fire
there is an imaginary window that opens my mind
to follow the grids that recall the structure of my childhood
there is a touch of gloom on the horizon
but also a promise of peace
it is the space before the decision is made
the moment when harmony studies chaos
before it has decided if its ready to dance
