what i still wanted to tell


..... and on the day
that you were born
the world got that much
richer

eastern perfume
and oriental eyes
this wisdom in your words
that dream never dies

and every time
i listened
I saw
the universe in your eyes

eastern perfume
and oriental eyes
this wisdom in words
your dream never dies

Coming back to you


When I am alone
By myself
That thought
Saying
It would be better
To keep the silence there
Between us
Nothing more

Now it seems
This is something new
I don't need you anymore

Until
Something shows
How fragile
This
All
Was

And
I
Am
Coming back to you

your eyes


what i see
in your eyes

children dance
on a palmy beach

and i see you
eating icecream

sitting in an open car
driven along

driven along

driven along the
wine fields of italy

and you want to kiss me
when we are

laying in the high grass
laying in the high grass

on a welsh hill
or in the south of france

that is what i see
when i look in your eyes

Another day, another way

In days gone past
Bound by allegiance way
When the dice were being cast
It took me to the battle array

How I saw people killed
Who fought for their own sake
My cup got never filled
When lives were at stake

A thought came to pass with me
There must be another way, another day
For all to be finally free
And a peaceful mind to stay

I left my bow and sword
To lead a life on higher ground
Through a song, through a word
Cast some happiness around

This is where I stand

Respecting for what you are
From my never-never land
Trust is never far

Gale


She's a woman
Who likes to have
The wind play
Through her hair

I would like to know
What part of the world
You walk on
Which sea you swim
How many stars
You see at night
Would you like
To tell me

She's a woman
Who likes to have
The wind play
Through your hair
And who makes you
Forget where you were
And know
Where you are

The Divine Mother

You remind us
Of who we are

The wind

The rain

And all the sunshine

Comes from you 

You are the one

Giving birth to life

And making it

Survive

And life ends

With the night

To start new life

With dawn 

When you are the one

Who gives birth

To creation

Again 

You are 

The Divine Mother

From whom

Life flows

Into an endless river

You remind me
Of what I am

About Fairies

To believe

That fairies

Is for little girls

Makes no sense 

At least not for me 

I already spoke once

With a winter fairy

And as a fellow

You wished

You had met them earlier

Their beauty 

Is overwhelming 

And funny enough 

They leave you 

Speechless 

Unless you have 

Something to tell

There is this 

Whole dynamic 

Of life

Called spirits

A subject

Loaded

With opinions 

False data

And misbelieves 

If you want it

Straight

Open your eyes 

And your heart

And you will

See

You


When you laugh
I laugh with you
When you cry
My heart cries with you
When you live
I live with you
When you dance
I dance for you

And I will make
The sun shine
The moon fine
The summer breeze
The lake freeze
So we can skate
Laugh at any fate
Swim in the sea
And feel our hearts free

So when I laugh
You laugh with me
When I cry
Your heart is with me
When I live
You live with me
When I dance
You dance for me

When

When you want to know again
How to be a friend
Look at a child

When you want to dance
Take off your shoes
At the beach

When you want to live
A simple life
Listen to the wind

When all else fails
Look as far as you can
And see yourself

A Pirate's Song

Standing on the after deck
The pirate with 
Copper red hair
Whistled an old melody
While her mind
Was thinking


This ocean teaches us all
That one ocean
Is one immense little universe
As part of a big one


Hail you endless depth
No way to fathom you
But one day I will
One day I will

The Queen of the Mountain Range

With the bald eagle
Always near
And the condor
On a gliding flight
Between the crests
Of the mountain range

While finding a path
To the top
Of the highest mountain still
You may find yourself
In a moment
Unexpectedly
Face to face
With what always
Is felt around

It could take the form
Of a song
In the wind
A whisper in the night
Or
Laughter in the morning

But only
Will you really know
About this unspoken truth
When you are face to face
With the Queen
Of the Mountain Range

Tomorrow

There is hardly
If any
War
Insanity
Crime

There are churches
Of the new religion
Of Knowing How To Know
Which cater broadly
To a knowledge hungry population

Countries are trading
With countries
Africa is flourishing
Just like Asia and Europe
North and South America

In schools and universities
Students learn first how to study
Before they start studying
And students can apply
What they have learned

The arts are open to anyone
Who likes to express himself
And people know
How to grant beingness
To the artist

Media are only reporting
Factual news
And news that is good news
Bad news is only reported
To the responsible with a handling

Only the most optimum
Medical care is delivered
Not for profit but for
Improvement
Of a person's health

And any dream
A person may have
Comes true
In reality
Amongst others

And tomorrow
Is virgin territory
We create it now
And enter it
Tomorrow

Youth


When I realized
I was getting older
Because
I had passed
The sixty mark
What a shabby cheat
Such a big lie

If I will ask
My body
Or this thing
Called
The physical universe
On which
You and I
Have
A so called agreement
If I will ask it
What my own
Personal
State of affairs is
I am done

Fact is
I am younger now
Than I have ever been
