The Viking

                                                                              With one thought in mind

This world belongs to me

He was a free man

She was a free woman

They were free as warriors

Their integrity to their mission

Was more important than their body

And so they conquered land

Traded

Sailed

They originated

From Iceland, Norway

Sweden, Denmark

Finland

And so set sail to America

Long before Columbus ever did

They traded with the Arabic world

Went to Mediterranean countries

And sailed the long rivers of Russia

All the way to Kurdistan

They ruled the Baltic

They conquered the British Isles

And gave name to Normandy

They were one with the forces 

And the gods of nature

They were masters 

In building an empire

But didn't understand yet

How to sustain one

For a longer time

Just like there are warriors

There are still Vikings around

They do have long hair as men

But not necessarily so

And as women with long hair 

But not necessarily so 

A Viking is he who is fearless

And true to his mission in life

A Viking is she who is fearless

And true to her mission in life

Vikings are immortal!

Walking up to the stars


You can
Go to the left
Go to the right
Or get yourself into the ground

Or you can
Go to the right
While you liked the left
Or go to the left
With a desire for the right


Or for excitement
Go to the basement of life
Down and down you go
Darker and darker even so


Until
In a moment supreme
There shows up
One more direction to go


You can actually
Walk up to the stars
You have seen
The step by step

Message from a Winter Spirit

Some people wonder
How we survive
Dressed as in summer
While it is freezing winter
Snow, ice, blizzards
The answer is simple
We are not your kind
We are spirits
And are ourselves
Able to survive
Way below
In minus degrees
Laws like gravity
Aging and temperature
Don't apply to us
If you really look
And then listen
You can communicate
With us
We are around
We see you
And we add
Sparkle to life
Merry Christmas !

Mother and child

           ___


God blesses the child
Whose mother is called
Truth


The Evening Star shines bright
Just like the Morning Star
Between day and night


With the world so large
And the body so small
Mom is a safe heaven


God has blessed the mother
Whose child is
Truth

Puerto Rico

Bring me to the Wealthy Harbor
With sails full of wind
I need to hear that music again
Which is the rhythm of my heart


Puerto Rico
Make me dance
Salsa, salsa, salsa
Me corazon


Sail to the Wealthy Harbor
For another day
You can't stop that music
'Cause it is the rhythm of your heart


Puerto Rico
Make me dance
Salsa, salsa, salsa
Te corazon

Guardian Angel





Each and every time
When people are taken into the sky
All that is left for them
To have
Is the interior of the plane
Endless sky
And the embodiment
Of a guardian angel
With
Confidence
Compassion
And skilled communication
I put my life in your hands
And I give you in return
Admiration
Bring me home
Put my feet back on the ground
Again
Guardian angel

Un nouveau siècle

From the open window
Comes piano music of Satie
And fills the street
The Eiffel tower is halfway built
The best breakfast there is
Café au lait and a croissant

The air is filled
With creation, creation, creation
In the minds of the Paris people
Imagination, imagination
And l’amour is an art


Wouldn’t you like
To take a ride again
On this new invention
Called voiture Renault
I still do love your horses

Paris, c’est pas une ville
Nor a city or a town
It’s a dream
We had
And came true

Emperor of Quiet Winds

I am The Emperor of Quiet Winds
Caretaker of forgotten Dreams
While you sleep at night 
I roam the endless Bounderies

You are free to reign in my Empire
Sit down in the Chair
And rule with Fantasy
For just a moment that last Forever

Let me visit the Kingdom of your Soul
See your Land of Dreams and Vision
That makes me feel at Home
As Emperor of Quiet Winds

I do not feel any Fear
Neither do I feel your Fear
I trust You
While Quiet Winds roam

Floating upstream

Victorious is the one
Who disagrees by

Going against the stream
Following a dream

A boring career to keep

Following like a sheep
And go down the drain
No words to explain

No, for excitement is
An advise with no amiss
To float upstream and so
Some place to go
Where happiness is !
