New Horizons

New Horizons

They look at the days to come
One quiet
One with words without stop
Both see the new horizons
Beyond hills
Mountains and streams
Lile a peaceful sight
To make the future as bright
As the smiles they bring
To children and grown ups alike
As they step into the steps
Of their daily life

Summer Gone

Summer Gone

Somewhere in the sky
The Sun still shines
Can not see it
I know it is there
The grey and dark
Slowly takes over
The Sun shining
In the Sun of the midnight
Hope does not fade away
Somewhere in the darkness of the moment dark
Hope still shines
Like the Sun
Hidden
In the winter night

Apples

Apples

Have you seen
The small apples
Untouched, untained
In the hidden apple tree
Behind the books
Watching the magazines
Waiting for children
Who have not yet discovered
And should not discover yet
The sour sweet taste
Of the little apple tree fruits
Hidden by the books
Smiling at
The unexpected bystanders
Who also have
A sweet bitter
Life to live

Tomorrow

Tomorrow

Tomorrow is a distant world
As foreign as yesterday
Predictable as today
Was yesterday
Tomorrow is a foreign culture
As distant as yesterday
Remembered not as it was
Remembered as one can remember
Selected bits
Patched out as life it allows
Tomorrow will be patched too
Becoming not what is
But what the future today
Will see
As the yesterday tomorrow

I will be back for you

I will be back for you

Unwanted changes
Have give me no choice
No time to waist
No time to wait
I have to go
Even if I do want not
Be sure
I promiss you
At the right time
I will reappear
From the streams of time
Guided by the endless love
That no one will take from my heart

Question

Question

Is life the all, the me, and the in between?
If I find the answer
Will there be someone
Somewhere
Who will liisten
Who will care?
Is life the all, the me, and the in between?
Or is there one out there
Who knows the answer
And with silent signs
Refuses to tell

Cycles

Cycles

Life and waves
Into each other
Repeating, never alike
Like galaxies and suns
Going around
Each turn
Each round
Back into a place
The place wanting to be the same
And never is
The learning should guarantee
A move to a higher ground
In life and waves
But does it not
To return to the past
Changes the waves
Changes the life
And the lives are for ever
Moved into a changed ocean
Into new paths
Finding another meaning
Into a life that is not yet
