Poetry

When I was younger I wrote some poems just for myself. Since I really like writing lyrics about how I experience  life in this world and how nature effects all of us and our environment I will also share my reflections in a poem collection called "In The Ocean of a Sea". Here you will find some poems about big and little things that makes me happy or just reflections of life .


"In The Ocean of a Sea"


1. Music

An existence without music..

So much wonderful thoughts that would have been lost!

You hear a piano, a violin and your soul fills with happiness, warmth, some scent..


You look out over the landscapes 

and becomes one with nature

You feel the wind at the beach

and becomes humble over the mighty trees

and your inner self is filled with happiness and a light that shines so bright


You are one with universe

Your chest is bubbling over of a sudden happiness.

The contures becomes sharper, stronger, more forgiving.

It is you, earth, the woods, the sky, the stars and the planets

It takes you everywhere and nowhere in an endless universe


You think about the end

Where do you go?

What is the destination of your final journey?

Will you just vanish?

The thought makes you frightened

And yet not


You realise that life is so short

Just a tone from an instrument that slowly fades away

And the world is suddenly so beautiful

You flow away between planets and heavenly bodies

Somewhere there is a life, a miracle you can`t see

You just know it`s there

You become one with nature, the sky, the stars, universe, everything...

A small light on a mighty sea


One ackord, an instrument can give you everything and nothing

A world of dreams, an escape from the outside

Comfort from a loss, a warm happiness, tears and joy

The music lives within you.

So embrace it

It is only yours

2.Alive

Was I ever really alive

In this beautiful world

Did I really see the birds arrive

Did they really sing for me


Did we really touch infinity

in a second of a time

Did you ever really know me

The heart inside my shell


Did you ever really see me

Or was I just a glowing star

Fallen from the darkest sky

To guide you from above


Did I ever really feel the wind

And the chill in the morning rain

Was I ever really wide awake

Was I ever really alive

3. You

Your eyes reflects the most beautiful soul

They are like heaven and stars

Blank and unwritten

Waiting


Where will life take you

Over sharp edges?

Over silent seas?

To the shadow of a valley?


For a second you are mine

But time is an enemy that takes you

further away from me

You grow stronger while I become weaker


But you are mine now

In your eyes I see eternity 

For you are mine now

In this moment

And I shall love you

4. The Hardest Thing

Turn around now and leave

Although it`s the hardest thing

you`d ever done

You have walked this path for so long

Been what they expected

The child, the sister, the woman, the mother


No more chains

No more lies

No more deceptions

That is not you anymore


You have grown so much

But you keep loosing yourself

You are locked with the past

Don`t know who you are anymore


Although you are tired

Although you are afraid

Find the cuorage to take 

that leap of faith

Although it`s the hardest thing you`d ever done

MORE ABOUT ME

Music is a big part of my life but there is also room for other forms of creativity. I sketch and paint whenever I have time and I also enjoy building things with pearls and thread. Take a look in my gallery below.
