FUTURE PASSING
It’s an endless job keeping up with the changes,
They happen so fast, the future already past.
I can see we’re racing, which way is not clear,
But the speed of it all, leaves no room for no fear.
I’m stepping, I’m running, I’m trotting along,
With the sounds and the lights just like dropping bombs.
I dodge, I’m crawling, I swim and I fly,
With the dead and the wounded looking up to the sky.
They want explanations, they pray and they rise,
We’ve been fooled once again, but we’ll not compromise.
You promised us safety; we’ve been told we are strong,
But now we are crushed, something went wrong.
Oh mama, oh goddess, we are ready to meet.
Forgive us the arrogance of our shady deals.
O mama won’t you give us one more chance to retreat,
As we drown in your craters, when the waves climb the hills.
It’s the color of speed, it’s the speeding of light,
That creates and destroys in the cycles of life,
We can tune in and surf on the top of it all,
Or we dam it and force it and we’re crushed in a hole.
We’ve been given a chance, we’ve been chosen to live,
We will carry the weight of our ancestor’s deeds.
Can we learn from the past and create a new world?
Can we hear Mother Nature as we’re surfing the web?
We are here for good reason, for a lesson to learn,
We can shove it a side, or some credits we’ll earn.
For the sake of our children and of my planet earth,
Let’s get on with the action, as our hearts give us strength.
Oh mama, oh goddess, we are ready to meet.
Forgive us the arrogance of our shady deals.
O mama won’t you give us one more chance to retreat,
As we drown in your craters, when the waves climb the hills.
O mama won’t you give us one more chance to retreat,
As we drown in your craters, when the waves climb the hills.

REFLECTION
It has been a long time coming I knew that you will go,
The old pendulum is swinging to and fro.
The dice are thrown, the chips are down,
The game has been played the heads have been blown.
You have inspiration many wishes and dreams,
You have innovations, creations and schemes.
One step to the future two steps back to the past,
a moment of sanity, the rest moves too fast.
Its never so easy to see where you go,
When you’r trading the mill and it’s deep down below.
There’s fog all around you, you’r deep in the mud,
Your spirit is torn , the world feels so odd.
You wonder what went wrong , back trucking your moves,
You dust up the dirt you’r stuck in a groove.
You try to find reasons, the pros and the cons,
While all along it was simply a question of fun.
So look all around you theres bright spots of light,
Open your windows for those strings of delight.
There’s love in the air and it’s warming cold hearts,
There’s a beautiful silence that thunder the night.
There are friends there are lovers there arms open wide,
To shelter your soul to sooth and to guide.
Your angels are flying there wings touch your heart,
A new day is coming with a wonderful start.

A VISION
Light has pierced through in between the clouds,
The winds have died down and shutters are lifted.
The light blows a hole in the walls of my heart,
It melts down the frozen cup of my tears.
A new vision is showing itself to us ,
With brilliance and crystal clarity,
The brilliance of lightning and dark starry nights,
As clear as the rhythms of death and life.
If it’s hardship you want that is what you will have,
If it’s freedom and joy, fortune favours the brave.
The lake is so cold but the jump is refreshing,
If you swim or you drown, it is just speculating.
The kindergarden of Eden is coming through,
With the spirits of children that are stirring the brew.
We don’t know what will come forth, we don’t know who will play,
When a child is born he can show you the way.
You can sing to your goddess, you can wake up the snake,
You can drop of the old bag , you are light and awake.
You define your own life and can imagine your fate,
It’s a joke someone is playing just to tickle your face.
So no more expectations, never mind what they say,
It’s a game that’s becoming more fun in each day.
And you know the old rules but they’re becoming outdated,
With the new ones unknown and with traditions defeated.
The turning of fortune is like tossing a coin.
Whatever side’s up it will shortly be down.
If it’s heads it’s beginning and if it’s tails it’s the end,
It’s the message the joker’s trying to send.

UROBOROS
I’m not a poor beggar or a prince in white robe
Not a diamond that’s precious, nor a leaf in a storm
I wake up each day and roaming the globe
One step at a time my path is being drawn.
Days change into years and years into decades
And Nature the secrets of life still retain.
Creatures emerge, shine a while and decay,
But the timeless continuum will always remain.
I cross many mortals, their goodness is gone
The players are chasing a chimerical ball.
They’ll swear they are right, and with shining drawn swords,
They joust with each other till all of them fall.
I am struck by the sights and the clatter of war
How can they be so cruel, and their hearts be so cold
Is their suffering needed for mankind to improve?
When the omens of change are so clear and so bold.
With my head in the sky, crossing mountains and plains
From the grand Uroboros I still learn to be whole
Disentangle my ties, renounce quests that are vain
The elixir that remains is compassion for all.
Let’s count drops of rain and gaze at a rainbow
Let’s fly on a magical ship, painted gold.
With fresh crispy air, in a sweet amber glow
Gently touching each other, until love will unfold.

WINGS OF LOVE
A spark of hope alights my heart
Commotion deep inside my head
Gracious goddess, give me power,
and fill me with your strength, endow me with your grace,
withdraw the curtain, dispel the darkness,
as the dream fades, I’ll see glimpses of love.
Once I was taught, and told,
to never, ever,believe anyone,
It’s only for our people, not for outsiders,
that we have to be brave, to struggle and save,
but I always felt that was wrong for me.
I was called a tramp, a stranger,
but I could not take it, or bear the pressure of it,
the hatred, patriotic songs and the vicious old war dance.
So as I grew up I had to find out
how to tread on, with devotion and surrender
to the rhythms of love.
Grief and hatred growing around the world,
friendship and kindness just bought and sold. But for love to win we must realise, we’re all just one.
And it comes to me when I kiss my child,
It brings me tears when I laugh or cry,
and it gives me joy and it gives me pain
as I break out from worn out chains.
Sometimes I ache and sometimes I shiver,
with changing winds that disrupt my soul,
but still I go on believing that compassion
is what will let us sail on the wings of love.
Why some people on this planet believe
they can steal from everyone?
They will exploit you, and will let you down,
no regards for mankind.
Walking through this global village, I see many gloomy faces,
and I want to give them roses until they start to smile.
Throw away your worries, those useless burdens.
Ascend,we can climb so high. We can reach the sky.
Soaring on golden wings of love.
Is there anybody out there who can hear my pleading?
Could it be that you are ready for a brand new start?
Come and join the circle, let us make it brighter,
with singing and dancing,
with drumming and clapping,
with joking and laughing,
then we could fly on the wings of love.

BELLS OF FREEDOM
Who shall toll the bells of freedom?
Who will sing the songs of love?
Then we’ll dance the waltz of living,
With our friend the vagabond.
People kill and die for freedom
Jailing others on their way,
Making laws, controlling kingdoms,
Lie and tell us what to say.
Making lows controlling kingdoms,
Telling us to which god we pray.
Righteous folks of every color
Every faith and every creed,
Spend their gold,their time and power,
Standardizing a new breed.
Let them fight their senseless battles
Speak no evil as they fall.
Be yourself , the spirit magnet
In the bright light you stand tall.
Be your self the spirit magnet
Answering the cosmic call.
Who shall toll those bells of freedom?
Who will cry out songs of love?
Gentle steps,and sacred whispers,
Take the sky my peaceful dove.
Can I be the one to ring them?
Can my tears create those songs?
Can I give my greatness power
To fulfill my honored goals?
Then we’ll start the waltz of living
With our friend the vagabond.

CODA (epilogue)
New born butterfly wings of indigo gold
Soars into the air it's journey unfolds.
No place to return to, every turn is unknown
As the feeling of travelling when first leaving home.
Old man sitting enjoying his days
With future ambiguous and past in a haze.
He is now he is here with nowhere to go
Just some good old time wisdom to greet then behold.
With each flower that blooms a secret revealed
Of the nature of nature and the beauty within
Why are trees always growing as the seasons change
The answer to this riddle is beyond reason's range.
