Discoveries



If I set my mind to things
I can realize a lot
miracles I don't do
because I am not God

When I reach a goal in life
I am very pleased
cause it asks commitment to
hard work before it's seized

A few of them stay nearby
a chance to grow more into it
mixed with a certain diligence
it's something I can transmit

So at the time when my life
 is coming to an end and I
can look back on the things
whith a smile, all ready to ascend

I leave a part of me behind
for the newborns in this world
and everything that is prepared
has a time and place to be unfurled

Writing is a need like eating and sleeping. I think we are all wondrous creatures who deserve to love ourselves and live in freedom. I like to participate in cases which can make a difference for myself, my surroundings and the earth. My wish: humanity in a non-dualistic society. more…
