Miracles
Unexpected Blessings
Things turn out just right
A ray of light we hoped for
Illuminates the night
Unexpected Blessings
Things turn out just right
A ray of light we hoped for
Illuminates the night
In front of me stands a big truck
I’m trapped inside the parking lot
The weather is nice
You open the window
Your neighbor thinks the same
Home office on his patio
There may be days
You plan quite well
You think they’ll flow
Like a calm well

Who does not want to be
In life completely free
No boundaries and rules
No dictators and fools
When I thought about today’s poem, nothing would come to my mind. After a few moments, I was humming a song from the early 90s. I remembered an old school friend sent it to me after he learned about me writing poems. He said it was playing in his head after he read my poems. Although the song is rather melancholic, it never misses to touch my heart because it is connected with many memories of a time long ago. And then the poem almost wrote itself…
Read more ›Who am I and who
Am I supposed to be?
Is my life going right
Or is there something I don’t see?

Listening to songs
Of long-gone days
Reminding me of times
When there was little to miss
Some people try to tease you
They dig until they reach
A point in you that triggers
Your nerves to burn and leach
Now think of something
You enjoyed
Don’t think of what
You’d like to avoid

Where all is colorful and bright.
Where you never say good night.
Where there’s lightness and liberty.
Where there’s everything in harmony.
When something bothers you in life
You have a choice to turn
Away from it or turn towards
Regarding the concern
My cup is empty, all coffee’s gone
But am I sad, or do I moan?
I dream of what I’d love to do
And when I know, fill it anew
Enjoy my life, enjoy my day
Decide to live my life my way
Don’t let somebody squish my joy
Too much to gain and to be blessed
My cup is empty, all coffee’s gone
It lives in all the things I’ve done
I take my cup, look to the sky
And tell my soul again to fly
Sometimes, I don’t know what to share
Caught up in daily life
Then I sit down, empty my thoughts
Let inspiration thrive
Can you explain
How joy does feel
So big, you think
It can’t be real
After the storm, they say
The sun shines again
After the rain
The air’s clean, I claim
Sometimes pain is all you feel
Although you can’t see through
It is love in disguise
Reminds of what is true
Life happens without any warning
It happens when you least expect
It can turn your life all around
When you think all is set
End of Vacation or Life?
Thoughts finally at peace
Behind are times filled with impressions
Happy memories passing by
Forever locked up in heart and mind
Holding on to memories
That sink deep into my mind
Digging into guilt and blame
And nothing else to find
When what you already felt
All of a sudden, proves you right
You ask yourself why did you worry
‘Though the answer’s been always inside.
Patience cannot be achieved
Since it is a passive action
While achievements come from active deeds.
Feeling like an escaped bird
Free yet without a plan
Liberation can be tough
Until I touch the ground again
Not knowing what the future brings
Curiosity that also scares
Careful steps toward new rooms
Leaving familiar spheres
My wish for you is that
your wishes get fulfilled
To make this come true
your doubts must be killed
Visualize the goal
Provoke options
Follow signs
Take active steps
Leave your comfort zone
Grab every chance
Keep up the path
When I think, I am so smart
Perhaps I should consider
Things are more complex and I
Get lost in my own filter
When a storm rages inside
You cannot simply close the window
You cannot hide below the ground
To keep it from harming you
You cannot solve
Another person’s problem
Although you would love to
Burn it for them
The most important thing to be
Is not a house or a big car
It’s not a bursting bank account
Or expensive clothes to wear
Love is the bonfire
We are its dancing red flames
No doubt, we are one
Is peace a wish we wish forever
Is climate change just empty noise?
Is mankind meant to kill each other?
Do we still have a choice?
You may think it’s all in vain
Since circumstances changed
You may think what you worked for
Is hopeless, can’t be rearranged
Have you ever been there
When you thought all hope was gone?
Have you ever thought that which felt right
Seems now all wrong?
A love for animals
A love for plants
A love for people
Make the heart dance

Thinking about what to write
So much crosses my mind
Still, there are just empty spaces
No topics are to find
The moment when you cut the cord
Detach from all you bear
The moment when you leave behind
The struggles and despair
Hope is Still believing
When signs tell you “do not”
Hope is Not resigning
When you can’t see a lot
So true that we don’t need a hero
We need someone who feels
Who understands that egomaniac
Never led to peace
We don’t want to grow old
But everyone wants to live long
We don’t mean to soil the planet
But everyone wants to travel the world
When you feel deep in a dark cloud
Start noticing the hue
What appears, at first sight, is not
Black but maybe blue
If only my day had
More than 24 hours
It still would not suffice
More ideas came in showers
Love can’t be found, love can’t be chased
Love cannot even be erased
Love is a form of life itself
That made life possible, pure source of health
Liberation doesn’t come
From passing on your pain
To others who are not
In charge – that is in vain
With every poem that I write
I hope I can inspire
To spread a message that supports
Is all that I desire
It’s interesting to watch myself
How I deal with my life
When an already busy day
Says here’s one more surprise
When you start to realize
A plan you carried along
Maybe you ask yourself one day
If what you do is right or wrong
Pour all your burdens over me
Let all your worries fly free
When you are sad I open up a door
to lead you out of your inner war
There are those who lead you
When you don’t see a way
There are those who teach you
When you are led astray
Rise and fall
So close together
We need to risk both
Or we’ll get stuck forever
Every time I look outside
I see something new
Something growing, something flying
Clouds and sun in different hues
When I look back on my life
I see how far I’ve come
It needed effort, sometimes pain
Often it was a lonely run

The sun breaks through the clouds
The flower through the ground
The meadow becomes lush
The first bees buzz around
Each One’s Responsibility
Why is it that we still don’t see
That we are dancing our last dance
To save our planet, maybe we
Already lost our given chance

Whatever you were going through
You learned that it will pass
No matter how hard something was
You made it through, at last
I believe this world we see
Is more of sun than rain
When even some hurt one another
There are more to heal the pain
Since my work schedule in my employed job has changed, my weekly poem will be published on Thursdays from now on.
If I just could, if I had time
Too afraid to fall or fail
It’s too late, not worth the try
Such phrases make a life so pale
Today, I am sharing a poem I wrote back in 2014. That poem is part of my e-book “Enjoy Life!” which is available on amazon.
So many wonders in this world – at times, we’re blessed with light
Experiencing precious moments which illuminate the night
In them, we find true happiness, and in the dear ones in our life
The love we get from all of them: Keep in your heart to thrive!
Life is not always roses
There’s never been a promise
Through challenges and hurdles
We are to grow on these

What do you wish for?
What’s your desire?
Don’t dream too low
Let your dreams rise higher

A dirty man with a strange smell
Or maybe one who does
Make sure that our streets are clean
Or that the landscape thrives?
People are not good or bad
They’re the experience they make
What they believe is true might look
To us like a big fake
The world outside my window
Is grey and pretty cold
Maybe it’s only winter
But somehow, that’s not all
Sometimes life takes unexpected turns
You think you know what to leave, what to do
Then it throws you a sign, invisible to others
And you know that your thoughts were anything but true
Christmas season has begun
Opens my heart more
Makes me feel the love around
Stronger than before

Yesterday I shared a few things about my life with you. So, for today’s poem, I thought it was fitting to share the lyrics of the song I am currently working on. I spare you unnecessary text repetitions. I hope you like it.

Journey leads through nights
Feeling like the end of days
Hope is almost gone

Feeling so much love in me
Seeing how the world could be
Absorbing all the good it holds
I know, not only I can see

There are a lot of things each day
A phrase, an image, a song
They trigger memories in me
Still vividly alive and strong

The wind blows strong around my ears
The days have gotten colder
Daylight’s making itself scarce
More textiles now, around my shoulder

The last warm rays of the September sun
Probably soon, summer has gone
You discover, you research
You work on your soul’s peace
You know you are to drop the weight
To find inner relief

Life’s not a straight clear road
There’re traffic jams, construction
Potholes and diversions
Detours and missed junctions

Sometimes I just smile
At the flight of a bee
At the crickets’ song
At the wind in the tree
When I let my thoughts fly free
Nothing holds me down
When I hold my limits high
Only my feet do touch the ground

I’m following the river
Beginning at its well
A tiny little trickle
Not knowing it will swell

Nothing can beat
a faithful heart
It has no doubt
Right from the start

Leaving seeds of kindness
With every step you take
Whenever you look back
You see the garden you create

Finding what I’m looking for
Finding what I need
Finding who I think I am
At least a germinal seed

When in your head
Is raging a hurricane
When every thought hurts
And drives you insane

Are you aware of how
precious you are today
In fact, you’ve always been
And you will always be

I wish I could forget
What in the past went wrong
Although I meant it well
I was weak and not strong
Following routines
Checking on their means
Organizing
Supervising
Handling people’s spleens

The joy that a song can bring
When it reminds you of a time
That you enjoyed so much

We all want our place
We all want to succeed
We want approval and acceptance
For who we are for what we need

Listen to the wind when it softly blows through the leaves,
See the flowers waving with its melody,
Feel the gentle touch on your skin…
Feel the peace.

What do we need when flowers whither
Because there is no light, and no water fills the river
The thought when results don’t meet expectations
The desire when you are longing for explanations
When people don’t cooperate
When you begin your life to contemplate
When plans are shattered or don’t work out
When you wish for things your wallet does not allow
I’m thankful for my feelings, from happiness to pain.
I’m thankful that none of it I experience is in vain.
I’m thankful for nature, for the ocean’s endless wide range.
I’m thankful for each person that gives my view a change.
Have you ever really lived?
Have you smelled the flowers in winter
Or recognized the raindrops in a leaf

It’s so easy to judge someone
From your restricted point of view
But there’s a hidden iceberg
Behind what you think is true

You gave yourself
You gave your all
How can you now feel
Like hitting a wall
Hello, little Snowflake
Thanks for visiting me
Although you fell to death
You touched my nose with glee
Is love only a word
A feeling we explore
Does it subside over the years
What once was all and more
It’s that time of year again
When hearts are a little more
Transparent and open
From and to their core
When I get insecure and lose
The ground beneath my feet
When the horizon turns from blue
To black, a scary wall to meet
When thoughts of love
Run through my heart
When my mind stops
Its thoughts-spinning art

A soul creates so many dreams
Of what it wants to see
Some you drop while some you chase
Some you make your reality
My wish for you is that
Your wishes get fulfilled.
To make this coming true,
Your doubts have to be killed.

A chance that you missed
May not return
At least it leaves
A lesson to learn

The light has changed
From white to gold
The days, much shorter
The nights get cold

Escaping reality
For just a few days
Recharging my batteries
Clearing my mind’s maze
Forgiving can be hard
When things start to repeat
Intentions that things change
But seems, they never did

Love to look at my rose
Delicate petals unfold
Such delicate color
From a root that’s quite old
There are so many gifts surrounding us
We only have to open our eyes and see
There is so much beauty surrounding us
We only have to open our minds and feel
Only in silence, our minds are getting clear –
The clearer the mind, the smaller the fear.
Fulfillment
Have you ever seen a bee
Following its purpose
Have you ever seen a tree
Doubting its strength and growth
