DANCE ON A DROP OF DEW

Dance on a dewdrop

Sing to a star

Clothes made of moonbeams

Embroidered rainbows

Drink a blue ocean

Float in space

Melt in the moonlight

Participate in the embrace of life

Shine gold like the sun

Sing to the spheres

Inside an atom

Know your joy, tears

Breathe with all the zephyr

Fury with gales

Mix with all the beauty

Empowered by all that’s cool

Laugh with waterfalls

Cry with the rain

Fly like a hawk

Grow with the grain

Fairies in flowers

Tree friends

Live in everything that lives

In the kingdoms and halls of nature

Loving all human hearts

That consecrate the light

True minds blazing

So clear and bright

The pains are like pearls

Soft beauty

Human opal swirl

Boy and girl romance

Fly high with the birds

Swimming seas with fish

In tune with all creatures

Living on earth

Explore everything you can

Test all the knowledge

Inhale all the perfume

Savor the pure and the good.

Dance on a dewdrop

Sing with a star

Laugh with waterfalls

Cry with the rain

Melt like the whitest snow

Grow with golden grain Bathing in the sun

Surrender to the embrace of life!

DAWN

Soft beauty spreading her wings of gray dawn

A promise of new life and hope with the morning.

She is hugging, protecting like cradling a child

Tenderly awakening the childish life, meek and wild

His kindness sheltering, love is shielded with his hair

New life to become and with new life to share

An earth is waking up – diamond dew on the grass

Dissolves every moment the dark shadows rise and pass

Beauty is revealed in golden rays of pure light.

Its gray hour forgotten as the rays of the sun bring delight

To myriads of life forms all over the earth.

A new day has dawned, a miracle of a new birth!

Dawn stretching her tendrils of soft tulle tenderness

Unfold, allowing all life forms to be blessed

Close consecrating, cradling, holding her so close

The soft and beloved heartbeat of your cherished children

Gracefully dissolving, not wanting to stay

She melts, disappears as her Sun Lord rules the day

In its beauty, beauty disappears in the mist

Knowing that she will be kissed by Dawn again.

DEAR OLD MAN

Lean forward old man

While you drink your hot soup

Your beard is very curly

And your drooping mustaches

Making your food difficult

I know how you must feel

So lean forward, dear old man!

Lean forward old man

As you get up from your chair

Your legs are quite stiff

And your lungs starved for air

I know that your back gives a lot of pain

Can you sit down again?

I’ll help you up and down, dear old man!

Come try one more time

Dear old man from your bed

Lift your head up

Or better leave it

It must seem like a lot of effort

Get up, sit or walk

When you’re too tired to speak, poor old man!

There is not much to say

Will inspire you this day

Tempts you to eat a meal

I know how you must feel

That you would rather stay still

And relax in your bed

Until you die … dear, tired old man! …

DEATH

Melting like water in vast oceans of space

Increasing our light to the great brilliance of the Great Light,

Give in to the rhythm of the tides and the flow of life,

Return to our Lifestream where we come and go.

Jumping like flames high to the place of our birth

Cuddling and hugging close to our Mother Earth

Flying with free wings at the end of our limits

Swimming in pleasure with the whirlpool of spirits

Expanding, increasing, spreading our gauze

Then shrink, to condense the essence of Earth days

To become all beauty, all joy and all life.

As we fly free from the land and all its struggles

Spreading feelings, intensifying joy

There is no need to be afraid or doubt at all

Just surrender to the wings of death and let the soul sing

Glory unfolding with the undulation of nature.

Know the moments of happiness that come with our death.

Fill our minds with light, hearts comforted by the love that is trying

Once engaged in the battle with the earth and the flesh

In eternal life the spirit is refreshed

Dying may be different or maybe the same

Each one will know for himself when answering ‘the Call’

One thing is certain, universal the statement

Only love itself matters, nothing else matters.
