Horizon of dreams
So close and yet so far.
Dreams at the other end of the shore.
An outstretched hand, a spark of hope, within reach and yet so far away.
Saddening and constricting feelings, due to failure and laziness.
A decision to leave the past behind and drift towards the future.
With shaky feet on a rocking boat, shrouded in fear and anticipation,
driven back and forth by waves,
I set off towards the horizon of my dreams.

Forever Love
Mirrors
Eyes like a reflection.
In them you can see joy, love, pain, fear...
All depth of feelings, you can drown in them like in the ocean. Eyes don´t lie,
eyes can speak without words and we understand.
And you can see in them a reflection of yourself,
like a mirror.
A pensive, misty look, maybe sadness, maybe peace.
Magical, tantalizing, radiant and tender, warm and light...
... what do you see in the bottomless reflection of yourself?

changes
How hard it is sometimes to take a step,
to take a step into another unknown.
To live out the fear that holds here
for life and yourself and the honesty of others.
But it cannot be anything.
In our mortal life, nothing happens by chance.
I surrender to the dictates of my soul.
I walk trembling, tearing away my captivity.
There are no descriptions of change.
They pierce like needles,
like storm and tempest, my own captivity.
But I have overcome it, now I am free!

Summer girl
Like a ray of sunshine,
a smile in a wreath.
A cheerful squint,
a mischievous, sweet look.
Laughing and shining,
warmth in her eyes,
like a summer's evening,
a sunset.
Wrapped in a wreath,
a ray of sunshine.
From the field
she took some cornflowers.
Chamomile and grass,
hope from her heart,
she lovingly wove
around the wreath.
With the hope of happiness,
with faith in it,
she wove her wreath.

Passion in Green
It's bursting with energy.
And it wants, wants to break into the world!
But the world won't let it,
to live in freedom and in its own space.
Listen to your soul, dive
in all the beauty and the tenderness of passion.
There's life in there! Wake up! Wake up!
It's all here! It's all yours!
Tune yourself to that wave
that every year blooms here,
with all the love and light and bright dreams.
Open to the world! Let it bloom!

Rusted Love
Love ist like the sea, the ocean.
It´s everywehere, it´s everywhere!
It never disappears!
It only fades for a minute.
Remeber, love is alive!
Just let it go and don´t keep it tied up.
Add light and warmth
and turn up the palette again!
Sometimes the pain is like a stone
closes the heart and the expanse.
Look into it quickly...
open the door of love and you´ll be alive again!

Enlightment
Sometimes the power is unexplainable,
sometimes like the universe it's scary...
or maybe it just can't be grasped
or maybe it can hold for half an hour.
There's no need for meaning or judgement,
in it, everyone will choose his own!
All the depth, the expanse, or the captivity.
All in power there, or maybe in reality.
Searching for yourself in the vastness of life,
the universe or other people's worlds.
Don't forget that you are all-powerful!
By right of will and birth without fetters!

Sense of will
It doesn’t matter where you are… in a skyscraper
or in the mountains, where you have never been.
Notice the feelings, the feeling of will
that you may not have felt before.
Like the softness of a river or a lake in winter
your consciousness floats.
In the vastness of the world called love,
in a beautiful place called Earth!
Your landscapes you paint with your heart
and your hands just keep on flying.
With the feather of a magic brush,
on a canvas that sees the wonders of colors.

Val gardena
Truly all the power is in us!
And hidden so deep you can't reach it.
You dive into it now
and feel the power that's hidden inside.
There's no anger, sorrow or discouragement inside
They've cooled off a long time ago
and turned into a power, a mountain, a height
that beckons and it makes every vein groan.
Wake up! You're here already!
Breathe in the vastness of all realities.
You always choose yourself!
And to a better world for your own, rise up boldly!

Between the past and the future
I walk softly touching,
like a thread I hold in my hand.
Between different halves.
between tomorrow, yesterday, as in a dream.
Our heads keeps us away from the new,
keeps the memory in the past.
We forget to be and feel
this day, today, now.
Don't hold on between the past and the future.
Don't hold on to the thin thread.
Tear up and create the present.
A moment that changes time and path.

Warm evening
How tenderness spreads over my body,
the evening air is like a shroud.
And I will sit with my arms outstretched.
And sit quietly alone.
There's no one there but me and the evening
and I want to disappear into it.
In the warmth of the embrace I meet tonight.
In love and affection I will gladly accept.
Let's have a warm evening with a soft blanket
and it will embrace my shoulders with all his heart.
And only the night will separate us,
so that tomorrow
we'll meet tenderly again.

Awakening spring
What's breaking through? Look...
Look more closely, go deeper.
There are feelings of the ocean and of love
waiting to emerge in their beautiful thicket.
All the strength and courage and beauty
all rippling through the abyss.
And you stand there and watch, not understanding
how to... feel life in the moment.
Fly, my love!
Breathe in freedom, embraced with your wings.
You are the power of inner beauty
that grows over the centuries
and brings emotions back to life.

Fire of desire
The fire of desire
Is burning, burning, put it out quickly.
There's no more strength to hold, to breathe fire.
He warms that abode
where all the feelings are born in him.
The vagueness, the thrill and the attraction
I turn it into a bright bouquet.
I give it to all those without a doubt,
I give it to all those who will come to their own green light.
And there's such a riot of color
and how can you combine them all?
Take only those that will beautify your life.
And again you'll be a bird flitting through everything.

Where does my soul fly?
The soul was rushing in the dark
and it couldn't find a way out.
She fought and was afraid
staying alone on the way.
And the revival is coming,
when maybe there's no more strength.
And it's like a phoenix comes to us
with the power of thought, will and soul.
It doesn't matter what we express...
On canvas, on a sheet or on your way.
We liberate our soul so much,
from all the shackles dressed in the past life on earth.

wake up
I was in a dream, I couldn't see life.
and everything seemed dark.
Once awakened at dawn
I realized: "Oh no! Wait!"
Where is the beauty that shines so inside?
And everything seeks to find a way out again.
All the darkness inside interferes,
it prevents life from finding a way out.
I woke up and pierced my life again
with a new color of light and love.
And the understanding that everything here is not accidental,
does not let go.
But i live now!
And having opened my eyes again, I want to go further.

Sunlight
A ray of sunshine.
Eyes sparkling with mischief.
Like a ray of sunshine in early spring.
He's happy with life and glowing with words,
through the embrace of affection, he shines more and more.
He chooses his path
and wants to take you and me to the party.
On one condition: that we trust him.
Then all the way will shine
and a tender heart trembles with love
from a world full of possible adventures.
Don't hold on to that beam, let it go...
because it is free, it can shine everywhere.

ocean of dreams
How many dreams I want to live here.
There are a million of them, like an ocean of stars.
I want to swim in them and enjoy them
and charge the excitement of everyone who sails nearby.
There's no fear of depth or power.
All that is an illusion invented by another.
That they don't walk, don't swim, but crawl
on the colorful road that is called life.
No, I will not call, beg, save them,
showing my beautiful world.
It is for me, my ocean of dreams and happiness!
And who dares to swim with me,
I'll let you just be there.

I am.
I have everything in me! I am a whole universe!
The space is torn into pieces.
All my power in space is eternal
and it is called to save the world with beauty!
Everything is endless like mortal time
and i am floating in the arms of being.
I have everything here! I am the whole universe!
Nothing will stop me here now!
Life, flesh, road, takeoff, fall.
Everything that is and will be as always.
But i fly on the wings of infinity.
I am a whole universe! I am my life!
