Little child
I am but a little child
Sometimes
Feeling uncherished
No one seems to notice
The most important thing
That holds us together
And the unimportance
Of everything else
I am but a little child
Sometimes
Left on my own

Joyful bird
Joyful bird
Picking in dirt
Unconscious man
Eats all he can
But being toy
He has no joy
Man should wake
For his own sake

Coming home
Coming home
Is a process
First, your body
Comes
And then your
Mind
Whereas a part
Of your soul
Has never left
Be gentle in
Putting yourself
Together
Even if the place
Is totally new
Your hopes may
Have arrived early
And realizations
Welcome you

Joined unjoined
If two souls
Are connected
Then this is
Beyond what
You perceive of
As real
The connection lies
In the realm of spirit
While its manifestation
May be quite short
Its impact can
Be huge
Like a footstep
In soil that
Doesn’t fade
Both made
An impression
On each other
And the impression
Is what you feel
But when you start
Looking for the foot
Then both of you
May heal

The ocean
My wishes
Are an ocean
To be admired
To bathe in
To rest your
Eyes upon
Not to be
Polluted
Abused
Or forgotten
Your ocean
I respect
The waste I
Ever put in
I fished
It out again
How precisely
Do you do
Neglect?

Soul is not just a word
Soul is not
Just a word
Your soul is
What makes you
My child
Without a soul
We are not
Connected
And then others
Will take over
They will not
Give love
But cookies
And you should
Know cookies are
Never for free
If you accept
Them instead of
Your true self
You will experience
A lot of pain
Which is far worse
Than sticking up for Yourself, humanity
And me
Love is I
And you are me
If you are true
Relentlessly

Mindwork
I am perfectly
Healthy
Although I may
Not yet look like it
My body simply
Needs time
To get accustomed
To it
Creation works
Like this
All things that
I feel
And especially those
I know
Are far more
Than real
And in time
Will show

Complications
Complications continue
To complicate my life
For a reason
The complicator
Wants to complicate
My contemplation
By throwing me
Off the track
Annoying me
But I have
Never been afraid
Of complications
For even in rain
And darkness
A ray of sunlight
Will always
Come through
I know that
Because I have
Eyes to see
And because
The sun is true

Through my veins
Through my veins
A light-flow
Washes down
Flowing past
The dangers
I have known
Softening
The searing
Tearing pain
And easing
All the paths
That remain

I am not a robot
I am not a robot
What utter nonsense
To be forced to
Declare this truth
By a robot
Wake up to
This world
We are in
And then start
To live
