Untitled


Life doesn’t have to end here,

Life can begin once again,

Trust in me and believe in me

And then you will be truly free.



Untitled


If I were to die tomorrow

I would still be happy

For the things I saw

And for what I felt

For the gifts I received

And the gifts I gave

For having loved

And for having been loved.


For each day I lived

And for each day the world will live without me.



Untitled


From the darkness

And the eternal night

The light was born

And it gave me wings

To fly straight to Heaven.


Signs from God


I do not walk this earth alone,

I do not travel the seas by myself,

I do not climb mountains on my own.

Though no man may be with me,

I shall still alone not be,

For with me I shall always have

My creator and life guide.


And in my life, emptiness never will there be

For everywhere I look I see signs from God.


From the glimpse of an angel's wings,

To the feeling of being amongst loved ones, even when there is no-one around.


From the sun shinning after the storm,

To the sound of laughter after the shedding of many tears.


From the dragons I slay with a lance that I am not holding

To the knowledge that every day spent under the sun

Is a day spent in God's love.



Untitled


When happiness

Leads my footsteps,

I can find my way,

Even in the dark.



Untitled


When you vanish from the light,

I shall look for you in the shadows

And I pray that you will be there

Waiting for me.

Advice for Living


Don’t let your tears

Fall on empty ground,

Don’t let your cries

Fall on deaf ears,

Don’t let your signs of anguish

Fall on blind eyes.


Don’t cower in the shadows

With your soul full of darkness,

But stand tall in the sun,

Don’t keep your hands by your side,

But reach out to touch those who are beside you,

Don’t crawl on your knees alone

When you can stand by a whole nation

Of people just like you.



Untitled


Your beauty is outstanding

Your patience everlasting

Your love forever more.


Every tear you ever shed

Shall water thirsty land

And the misery you gathered

Shall slip through your hands.



Untitled


Roses made of gold,

Petals that unfold,

Morning dew that sets upon thee,

Happiness that lays before me,

Tomorrow's just a step away.

Different but the same


We are all different

But the same,

And from our unison

We gave to gain

A world of peace

And harmony

Where you will all

Let me be.



Hope for tomorrow


It matters not

What happens to me.

It matters not

What happens to you.

It matters not even

What happens to any of us.

All that matters

Is that the sun rises tomorrow.


She


She, as the dawn,

She, as the roses,

She, as the sea.

Dark never reaches,

Light always here.

She, as the roses,

She, never fear.





Hope


Secrets of the morning

Creep up without warning.

Hope appears forgotten

And the future but a dream.

Yet from the ashes, life is born

And we continue on the road

That leads straight to eternity.



My true home


I travelled here

I travelled there

I travelled almost everywhere.


I found happiness

And I found sorrow.


Sweet and sour

Both together.


I lived to die,

I died to live,

And all so I could say:

"I'm finally home!"



Life


I love the way

The sun rises and sets.

I love the way

The moon shines up above.

I love the way

The sky reaches down

To touch the earth.

I love the way

The world turns around.

And I love the way

I still live.



Friendship


Though seasons come

And seasons go

Though days may pass

And days may flow

I shall stay

My friendship too

For I know

That in this world

All I have is you.



Free to see the world


Let me be free

Like a bird in a tree.

Let me know

The wind beneath my wings.

And let me see

All the world's wondrous things.



To succeed


Before me there is a mountain,

I can but try to climb it.

Before me there is a river,

I can but try to cross it.

Before me there will be something everyday

And I can but try to succeed.



Dreams


Dreams, desires, needs,

I know all of these.

I dream of a peaceful world,

I desire happiness for all,

I need to believe in my dreams,

I need to believe in my desires.


The sky above me

Is forever changing,

Darker and darker it is becoming.

But I still believe,

For I need no proof to believe,

Hope is all I need.

Hope in dreams, desires, needs.



The Beauty of Life


I speak your name

With unbounded admiration,

I speak your name

With absolute respect.

There is never a day

That I do not think of you,

There is never a day

That I do not long for

The reminder of your existence

With one simple touch.

But the fear of death

Distracts me from you

And makes me forget you.

When the sun sets

I cry bitter tears,

But with the sunrise

I see that you are still there,

Oh, how I adore you life!



Untitled


Immortal heart

And eternal soul.

Pain never-ending

And bitterness that causes dissension.

Tormenting thoughts,

Nightmares that haunt you.

The future is uncertain

And the shadows threaten you.

You are not human,

But you have human weaknesses.

You are not human,

But you have human blessings.

You offer opportunities and choices.

You give joy and pain,

Tears and happiness.

You have no name

But you have a quality.

And what you are

I say out loud:

"Life".





Untitled


Dancing to music

Only I can hear

I turn to face the world

And all of the uncertainties

That life holds for me.

I stand tall, and I stand proud,

Though my feet may tremble

And my pulse my race,

For I have the courage to face life

And all that life brings,

And forever shall I seek the light,

Though the comforts of darkness

May beckon me,

For with darkness come shackles

And I wish to live as a free man.



Untitled


Every dawn

Brings a new beginning.

Every dawn

Brings a chance for a better day,

A brighter sun,

A bluer sky.

Every dawn

Brings the hope of a light that will not fade,

A smile that will not dim.

Every dawn

Brings us a step closer

To redemption,

To happiness,

To fullness of life.



Untitled


My soul sings freely

Notes to a long forgotten tune of happiness

In a dark world of smile-less faces

And broken dreams.



Untitled


I love the shadows on the walls,

They have a story to tell.

I love the wind that blows through the trees,

It has a song to sing.

I love the way the sky reaches down to touch the earth,

Showing a love so profound it makes me weep each night before I go to sleep,

Beyond the fields, the hills and all the oceans blue.
