Into the dawn

What I feel

Is that I feel

Somehow pathetic

But when I feel

That I feel

I could regret it

I know I feel

That I feel

Voracious

I could be

Insufferable

I let it

Be my status quo

My vice

My price

My pride

From my side

I am pleased

To see the light

In my darkest hour

I still write history

In my brightest moment

I change the world

I change my world

Find inner peace

Though my demons

Are well-fed

Hide in my bed

There’s no safety net

No storm without impact

I don’t know yet

Where it takes me

This road is quite heavy

Quite strenuous and vast

My future, my past

My present is here

 

What I feel

Is that I feel

I make it

When I feel

That I feel

I fake it

I try even harder

To renew it

I sew it

Undo it

I rather be crazy

Then lazy

And might I fear

The unknown

The new

The change

I confiscate my doubts

And walk hand in hand

With my confidence

I rather be crazy

Then being hazy

Though I need stability

I need tranquility

I need to feel safe

And composed

But need bustle

And variety

I rather be

My own hero

Not your saviour

A rebel

Faithful and true to myself

Enlightment

And above all excitement

About the little things

I spread my wings

And fly into the dawn

Mysteries

Some things lie deep within

Too far away and out of reach

We might feel bad and exhausted

But still we can take a stand

Sometimes drowning

Words come out like mourning

In the silence of a morning

Sleeping too long

Barely knowing where to belong

Another day gone by

 

There is so much deep within

The miracles we hold

Or so I was told

Inner richness

No surrender

I grasp my best secrets

And hold them tight

Through the night

And into the light

Been too desperate

When it was time to shine

And had my best moments

When no one expected

Incarnation

Reinvention

There is magic in the worst moments

There is a tomorrow in every sorrow

No lost fight

A future bright

But full of heavy stones

Pain and suffering

Just part of life

We know where we belong

We fancy to be perfect

But break like bones

There is a calm after each storm

There is home

 

I cannot stand the silence for too long

And then words come pouring down like rain

They could drive you mad or just insane

They come for you in your notorious day dreams

There is a large spider you have to feed

There are days that make you bleed

Make you feel incomplete

Make you tremble and forget

What you most regret

I neglect

But protect

My memories

Nothing matters more

Than being true to yourself

Come what may

Each and every day

Rough guess

Journeys into the unknown

Signs and hidden treasures

I came here to forget

Not to regret

I have an answer

But it ain't ready yet

My world has fallen to pieces

But I stay strong, nonetheless

I make a rough guess

And I disappear

You are far away

And I am not near

Resurrection

 The heavens opened for a while

When the world stood still

Sacred houses of God

And your will

Silence and musicians talking

To themselves or so it seems

To us so brief

Abandoned cities

The beauty of nature

No laughter just shelter

 

Here I stand

Alone

One master and his audience

In remote places

A digital world that has come to halt

But just for one year

We don’t get wise nor learn to change

We are just humans after all

But we rise

Rise above

In the shelter of God’s hands

 

 

 

 

Out of curiosity

Oceans

So many thoughts drawn in the deep

It is on us, on us to keep

Track of moments

Like a song so sweet

The first surrender

Is the dearest morning

Is a night in fall

The best of all

Don’t keep pretending

You are one of many

Understanding

Comes in paces

Stays in traces

And remains eternally

Not one river

Flows in vain

But out of curiosity

Enjoy & Reflect

We can decide what we wanna be

There is no going back

Once you’ve taken the next step

You need to come to realize

Where you want to arrive

Life is that journey

Where time and place

Can be just an illusion

Where you can get lost in confusion

And suddenly it can all be over

So make your plans just in time

Once and for all

Nothing is given

And not all decisions are worth the fall

We are often too self-assured

Too secure we have it all under control

There is sand in our hands

The universe laughs about our plans

Build your castles once and for all

How we like to talk tall

Be sure you can never love too much

But be gone too long

You might start adventures

Though you should know where you belong

Our mind is strong

Until it lets us down all of a sudden

Woe is you, if you’re not ready for that

There’ll be so much to regret

First we’re young and quick

And finally old and sick

It is on us to use the time in between wisely

Humble or more precisely

In anticipation of our biggest challenges

But always smiling and relaxed

Knowing that life is just about that

Enjoying and reflect

Just one click

Faszination

That comes stumbling

Forward like one

Hesitation

And one song to keep

We redefine

What’s hidden deep

Within our oldest monuments

So tremendous

And so keen

On grasping all

That’s kept unseen

Phenomenal and horrific

The world stands still

With just one click

Radicalization

Radicalization derives from not being heard and exclusion on one side and frustration and deep-rooted convictions on the other side. Radicalization means protest and always has a long history. It is the transition from the role of the victim to the role of the perpetrator.

The balance

Everything in life is in balance. For everything you take, someone else looses. For everything you give, someone else benefits. Even if we don’t specifically take from someone, someone else will loose. That is the universal law of balance. The richer one person gets, the poorer others will get, for becoming really rich doesn’t mean only taking from one person but from many. Else it is not enough to become really rich. 

 

We can only get out of this circle, if we are aware of this and use the money we earned to give something back. To help out others who don’t have much. If we only intend to become richer and richer we become cruel and heartless and won’t feel real joy anymore. We will feel temporary joy when a business deal worked out or our revenues reached a new peak. But then the feeling of having taken more than ever given back will creep up on us. We can distract ourselves with enjoying the lifestyle we have and stop listening to that voice. We will most probably not see it and tell ourselves: „What a bullshit! I earned that money in an honest way. What is wrong with that? It is mine to keep.“ There is nothing wrong with that. The money was earned with hard work and smart and creative ideas. But still it was taken from others and if we are only keen on accumulating more and more, we haven’t understood the circle of life. 

 

People had trust in the products somebody sold. What if they didn’t have? If everybody had ignored them? That person might have had a good idea but still would have stayed poor like many others and would instead save their little money to buy products from somebody else who became rich with them and make that person even richer – little by little. Becoming successfull with a product means a huge amount of luck. And when you’re lucky you should be grateful for it and give something back continually. You will still have a good lifestyle and additionally you will feel the joy of having given something to others who need it and you will know you did the right thing. This way you will silence the feeling of having stolen something – the more you will respect the balance in life. And the more you give, the more you will get back in return. Life will reward you. 

 

There are so many possibilities to give something back - each and every day. And it is not just about money. You can also give back a smile, an advice, listen to somebody, sheer somebody up, and so much more.

 

 

 

 

Bittersweet

My life is mostly bittersweet

It comes and goes with every deed

Are we to blame

Or just in need

When the last is gone

We plant our seed

One Planet

Are we going to hell

Are we going to heaven

We have a blast

And count to seven

This is our life

This is salvation

We are one planet

But out of frustration

We nearly extinct

We risk it all

Is the pleasure

Worth the fall

Are we going to hell

Are we going to heaven

We have to be sane

And count to seven

Troubled days

Healing rain

We stand in line not to go insane

As the corridors open

Windows are broken

And now who’s to blame

 

I had a friend

He was gone when the first bombs fell

Are we going to hell

It‘s all the same

 

We’re here alone

No light shines through the windows

I call it redemption

But out of temptation

I try to restrain

 

There is a new morning

I hear some talking

Shots in the distance

Our last resistance

It’s all the same

Freedom within

Freedom within

Freedom without

Mutual sin

Can we live with the doubt

A morning of blessings

Some old rotting trees

We could have been wiser

We seem still so blind

A morning of blessings

We need to be kind

Freedom within

Freedom without

We need to reflect

And not live with the doubt

So many chances

 My whole dreams are just a mile away

And I know patience is my way to joy

I could stay and wait

Forever and ever more

Or just stand for what

I love the most

I could dream a million dreams

I could wake and sing or so it seems

 

My life was made of so many chances

So many chances

My self defense is

My self defenses

They hold me

From suceeding

 

I can break these walls

That hold me down

That hold my crown

 

My life was made of so many chances

So many chances

My self defense is

My self defenses

They hold me

From suceeding

 

 

Does anybody know why life is that cruel

Is there any rule

 

I will suceed

I make my way

All my stupid thoughts

Have gone astray

 

My life was made of so many chances

So many chances

My self defense is

My self defenses

They don’t hold me

From suceeding

 

I will make it

I will make it

My life was built of

So many chances

My self defenses

They protect me

Grace

Who has got the answer

To an unspoken word

Who can heal cancer

Without that much hurt

Who knows all the reasons

Of mortality

Who can stand your treasons

They are not for free

Who will fall apart

Who will break your heart

If I could just beg your pardon

There are some things we can't face

Oh and get this thing starting

You still have your grace

Who has got the courage

To fight a battle lost

I need your reinsurance

Who will pay the cost

Who has got the answer

To an unspoken word

Who can heal cancer

Without that much hurt
