Princess of Dawn




See me as your Friend
You can make a new Start
With the rising Light of
The Princess of Dawn


In my father's Kingdom
At the far of East
The dark of the Night
Has no Rule


Wherever I go
There is a new Beginning
My path is marked by Lights
And the birth of a New Day

                                                           
The end of Things
Is never the end of All
Wherever I go
Because Darkness can not hide


See me as your Friend
You can make a new Start
With my rising Light
I am the Princess of Dawn

Cherokee Man



I am the Thunder
The Striking Lightning
And the Fruitful Rain
That blesses Mother Gaia


I am the Alpha Wolf
The Tantalizing Viper
The Herd of Blessing Bisons
That gives me Life


I am my fellow Cherokee
His Ambitions
His Movements
And his Birth and Death


I bless Cherokee Woman
Her Beauty
And her Passion
As she Creates me


My Life is a Dance
For the Infinite Creator
Of Creation
My Life of Unity

" A strong woman is one who feels
  deeply and loves fiercely.
  Her tears flow as abundantly
  as her laughter.
  A strong woman is both soft and
  powerful, she is both practical and
  spiritual.
  A strong woman in her essence
  is a gift to the world."

        (Native American Saying)

Dance!




In one emotion
And in one motion
Dance with me

Forget daily life
Forget the past
Into the future
You will last


In one motion
And in one emotion
Dance with me


A smile
Lights up your face
No more seriousness
Is leaving a trace


In one motion
Sharing one emotion
Dance with me


Until we look
Into each others eyes
We realize
Time just flies


Just for fun
You come and say
Dance with me

Holland

Four season land
Water land
Western wind
Learned to sail

Spring time
Flowers smell
Expectation high
Tullips rule

Summer here
Music all around
Travel other land
Swim and play

Automn leaves
Birthday time
Rain and wind
Shorter days

Winter land
Christmas lights
Heading for
Another year

Where Spring is 
In the air
A newer life
Younger than before

Redefining starry-eyed



When you look into tomorrow
Haven't yourself to fight
Create your own future
You are starry-eyed



There is a new explanation
To this very word
A personal dimension
When you are starry-eyed



Not of this world
With all your might
Its definition too short
When you are starry-eyed



Skip the narrow meaning
It's all too tight
You have a brand new feeling
Being starry-eyed



When you're being it
You will see with delight
When all things fit
You are truly starry-eyed

BRASIL


Each time anew
When I hear your music
I get carried away
To a far away land
Of my childhood dreams


Antonio Carlos Jobim
Flora Purim
Sergio Mendes
Airto
Brasil '66


I've got 
The Bossa Nova
In my blood
And in my soul
The rhythm of life


These are songs
About a girl
Rio de Jainero
Copacabana
And a warm evening sun


Brasil
You help me find
On the tune of a melody
That far away land
Of my childhood dreams

Déjà-vu



I just got this notion
Seeing your face
A certain emotion
My memory left no trace


All that I am doing
Standing here confused
No idea where my memory is going
Leaving you amused


I hear that bell ringing
Sort of idea might be it
What is this bringing
All those fragments just don't fit

It's a déjà-vu, that's all
No more wondering why
The past made a call
Now just let it fly

The Kite Flyer

He watched the skies
In the morning
In the afternoon
For wind to move
Or a blue sky

He looked at the top
Of distant trees
To see the branches dancing
On a blowing wind
To fly his kite

It was a big colourful butterfly
Made out of cotton and bamboo
And a hundred meter long string
He watched it fly
High up in the sky

He dreamed he was that kite
Above it all
Dancing on the wind
Like a bird
In the sky

This boy laying in the grass
Watching the sky
And the kite dancing 
On the wind
Was me

Passionate infatuation

I once knew a man
He got caught in a passionate flight

He did all he can

Not to taste infatuation might

His life unrolled like an odyssey

And soon enough had a siren to pass

She enticed him with her body

And stuck his soul with a mass

He was a traveller, far and away

With wife and children home

No other game to play

Than to play out of Homerus' tome

He managed to free himself

Of desire's chain and ball

By luck or good reason, himself

He heard integrity's call

Life is lived whatever way

But once by loyalty's negation

Dishonesty then is to stay

As hurting passionate infatuation

Beauty

Beauty is
A smile
The motion of a dancer
Stars at night

When a young man
I saw at a distance
A group of trees
And was overwhelmed
By the beauty of it

When travelling through France
I fully agreed
Why Paris is called
The center of the arts
She similarly overwhelmed me
When I saw her beauty for the first time
On a distance

A well-known philosopher once wrote
You will get out of something, that
What you put into it
Then isn't it so that
When someone sees beauty
It's because that person himself is creating it
To begin with

Not always easy to do
But seeing the beauty
In another
As well as yourself
Will make this world
Just that more beautiful
To begin with

Beauty is
When I see your smile
The motions of a dancer
Those stars at night

Identification


As a kid, already
When people called my name
I wondered, who is that
When they called my name

They did not call me
They didn't see me
They did not know I was there
Until later in my life

It's a way to pinpoint
Someone in a body
With his body
And get him to forget about himself

I have no axe to grind with the past
Nor with anyone in it
Nor with myself for agreeing
But I have made up my mind

I am extremely delighted to know
There are people on this planet
Who can look, see and understand
Who I really am

Above it all
I am at peace with myself in knowing
That who I am
Is the being I am after all

They dance
In front of
The Shinto temple

The kite
Is flying 
Over the beach

In a quiet street
Of Tokyo
You can hear them laugh

While they play
With a doll
Or a ball

If you want to see
Asian serenity
Look at them

Japanese children!
