I HAVE ONLY ONE CHANCE LEFT
I wanted to paint you
But I couldnt
find the right colors
I wanted to carve you
But my tools were inadequate
I wanted to dance you
But my feet
started to bleed
I wanted to tell about you
But none of the words were enough
You've hidden in the fog of
the marble
Into the springs of the voices
Nothing else escorts me to my coffin
But the noises of my footsteps
So my canvas stays empty
My stones are not carved
My voiceless numbness searches the silence
I have only one
chance left
I can touch you

I AM GONE
I took a bite of the cold, icy space
Desperately searching for
the answer, the way
But theres no one to turn to
No one feels my pain
No one feels my thorns
No one sings
my songs
So please sit by me
Touch me with your hand
I am weak, tired and
Covered with the blanket of
loneliness.
No! Wait! Dont speak!
Any words would destroy our harmony.
I am in you.
Even our shadows became
one.
I have disappeared.
I am gone.

WHATEVER IS GIANT WILL BECOME TINY
Whatever is giant will become tiny
The
need and the want are mixed together
The selfish and the meek are at war
Your doubts are breaking the rainbow into
pieces
And like the very first time you asked
You cry out again: Why?
And behind you among the ruins of past
time altars
The sacrifices come alive again, and
Carve their nails into your bleeding heart
And in this moment
all the words of comfort
Seem so far Grace hope trust
Where are you?
But on the other side of the heavens
There are millions working
For that single moment of tomorrow
When youll understand from a tiny spark
From
a human and a divine touch, from a left behind gift
That you cannot do anything
Nothing can happen to you
That
would change the love of God for you

GHOST
DEER ARE RUNNING
Ghost deer are running
Across mystical meadows
They overtake the darkness
They fly among the shrubs
The world cant touch them
This is their only way to stay white

IN ORDER TO KNOW
In
order to know The Something
You have to touch The Nothing
In order to dance Life
You have to know pain first
In order to feel loved
You need to experience rejection
In order to be special
You need to be left
alone first
In order to be reached out to
You need to be abandoned
In order to be found
You have to
be lost first
In order to win
You have to be in the battle
In order to arrive
You need to escape first

QUESTIONS AND MIRRORS
Questions and mirrors
Sunsets and birds
Seeking for wisdom
Why am I hurt
Bottles and honey
Its
everything but funny
My last song is bitter and dark
I am slowly falling apart
Whispers and desire
Ice
cubes in the fire
I have finally found the answer
Im blind and weak and wounded
But still can be a dancer
