Friendship
Think a while in silence..
For those who loved you
more dear…
For they are the ones,
who will never weaken you up!
when life is not so clear,
close your eyes and come
to my arms dear!
Let your soul fly above
The horizon!
Where there are no clouds!
No dust! no drought!
Life there is so clear!
Don’t lose the chance my dear…
And… I will clean the rocks
of your road,
to find it easy when you come!
I’ll beg the birds, the winds
even the weather…
To have some help when you fly!
I’ll tell the Nature to be pretty
to smell the perfumes of my land,
When it’s time to fly away…
I’ll spread the colours of my sky!
My faithful friend…
Thank you for the trial…
For the directions…
For the discoveries…
For your struggle on the way
to our friendship…
This will be forever!
Beyond Borders
Life knows no borders…
Barbed wires hurt me
Because I was born Free!
My life…resembles the sea,
And like a sea it stretches
Enveloping my mother
The Earth!...and my Brothers!
Who live scattered under the sun.
Life knows no borders….
Because I was born to live
Free!
To love!
To breath!
To create!
To conquer!
To share!
To dream!
To carry on!
And dance the dance of peace.
Because life knows no borders….
Because barbed wires hurt me!
Because my brothers
live scattered far and wide,
because I was born Free
and Free I shall remain!
Dancing the dance of peace
alongside my brothers
who live scattered near and far….
Because we are Free!
Certain Sundays
On certain Sundays
the birds on the street
our joy welcomed…
It was spring then!
I shall never forget the musings
with the lapping shore
the song that together we heard…
But it was spring then!
The wildflowers spraying
their fragrance everywhere and the grass
spreading its arms
to you and me…
It was spring full blown!
But winter too was spring!
Those winter Sundays
felt like spring
to you and me…
The golden yellow leaves sparkling
sprawled across our paths…
That’s where I shall go to sprinkle them
with the dew from my eyes…
For thus shall I hold on to
the winters and spring alike.
For I can let my tears
flow…
I am not afraid…
Yes! I shall never forget the winter Sundays
that felt like spring
to you and me…
When birds would sing
through nights everlasting
when the Skies would wear their best
to welcome us…
The logs on the fire struggling
our gazes to keep warm
and all of nature swathed in light…
For you and me.
Once it was spring
with you and me!
