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
A simple Thank You
Is the least you can give back
When kept from trouble
In Love and Light
There may be days
You plan quite well
You think they’ll flow
Like a calm well
When needs disappear
You feel the being in you
A new connection
I wrote this on the last day of my juice diet.
In Love and Light
Sometimes we stand still
Enjoying the moment’s bliss
Seeing who we are
In Love and Light
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…

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
Now think of something
You enjoyed
Don’t think of what
You’d like to avoid
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
Some days you get stuck
In your world of confusion
Step back, stop the noise
In Love and Light
You think you made it
Then a picture, song, or word
And you remember
In Love and Light
If you don’t push life
Life will be pushing you
To keep you moving
In Love and Light
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
We come and vanish
No one knows it in advance
Enjoy the moment
In Love and Light
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
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.
A sunset in May
Birds sing, crickets play, orange sky
Oh, peaceful evening
In Love and Light
P.S. I wrote this haiku back in May. But the feeling is still the same on a peaceful evening in late spring.
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
When the warmth outside
Reminds of new life and joy
The warmth inside grows
In Love and Light
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 a storm rages inside
You cannot simply close the window
You cannot hide below the ground
To keep it from harming you
The smile inside you
Generates joy around you
With chain reactions
In Love and Light
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
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?
If we want world peace
We need to stop any fight
It begins in you
In Love and Light
A love for animals
A love for plants
A love for people
Make the heart dance
When all becomes still
There is only you and you
Deepest connection
In Love and Light
Thinking about what to write
So much crosses my mind
Still, there are just empty spaces
No topics are to find
I stumble and fall
When will I learn my lesson
To wear my glasses
In Love and Light
The moment when you cut the cord
Detach from all you bear
The moment when you leave behind
The struggles and despair
Watch a bee, a tree
Just following their purpose
Feel the peace in you
In Love and Light
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
Rise and fall
So close together
We need to risk both
Or we’ll get stuck forever
The need to explain
That others know who you are
Is dependency
In Love and Light
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
Moments of soul talks
The universe, a marble
Brief enlightenment
In Love and Light
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
A dirty man with a strange smell
Or maybe one who does
Make sure that our streets are clean
Or that the landscape thrives?
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
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
There are a lot of things each day
A phrase, an image, a song
They trigger memories in me
Still vividly alive and strong
Today, my Monday post will be a little different – fewer words yet a lot of food for thought I think.
