HANDS

The day I first met you
felt like seeing a golden spark
You stepped into my life
when my world seemed so dark.

You're really someone to pick me up
when I try to walk and then I fall
especially when days are so confusing
they seem not worth living at all.

You know sometimes I felt so sad
I did really need your hand
You offered it to me, thanks for that
as you tried my hurting heart to mend.

And if you're needing comfort
the way I sometimes do
you know you can rely on my
as I'm stronger now
to offer my comfort to you.

CONFIDENCE

When you're tired and sad
at the end of the day
and nothing you've planned
seems to going your way
When also your patience
has come to an end
Try to take a time-out
and rely on a friend
For maybe they too
have walked the same road
with pain in their heart
and a too heavy load
trying to find peace or comfort
somewhere near the end
when they did stop long enough
to confide in a friend
for so welcome will be
a few words of cheer
for that someone who's willing
to lend you an ear
No troubles can be that time
is not able to mend
but to get the relief
just confide in a friend.

A FRIEND IN YOU

I never thought that I would find
a friend so far away
With hundreds of miles between us
yet we speak every day.

I never thought that I would find
a friend I couldn't see
I see you through the words you send
that brightens each and every day.

I never thought that I would find
a friend I couldn't touch
But i can feel your tender heart
You've helped me oh so much.

I never thought that I would find
a friend I couldn't hear
But you hear every world I say
and with an unprejudiced ear.

You type the words you say to me
that always touch my heart
I read them on my monitor screen
because we're hundreds of miles apart

I thank the Lord for many things
you're just one, you see
But in my nightly prayers I say
Thank you Lord for my PC

ME AND I

Sometimes when I'm feeling mad
there is always a part of me
that seems to be a little sad
I even know what I don't want to be.

Sometimes when I scream out loud
there's also a clear voice in me
that tells me I shouldn't shout
and I know how I don't want to be.

Sometimes when I see myself clearly
a part of me is the part I really know
but another side stands beside me
two pieces that to one never can grow.

Sometimes when I think of the being me
I feel like the sun and the rainy weather
and it's so difficult to just feel free
I want to be one, not me and I together.

Sometimes I think it doesn't matter
Me and I with moods and inspiration
and I than hope everything gets better
for we, me and I, are a combination.

Sometimes I see myself as strange
but soon after I'm sure I'm just unique
So I have peace within me; I will arrange
that nobody thinks I'm only a freak.

Sometimes I've toyed with ideas I got
from a good old friend, nothing new of course
and it may seem to you I don't care a lot
as you watch me to break through open doors.

Sometimes it's therefore hard to make clear
that I'm never intending to be the one you see
and I say I accept the comments I get to hear
cause it's an explanation for the
"me" and "I"
identity.

ABOUT US

The day we met was blanc, an empty page
we said Hi; exchanged our very first hello's
that moment  we picked up a brush to embrace
and dipped the colored lines of our rainbow
Meaning to make us a part of our days
with images of thoughts and emotions to show
we both had dreams expressed by emerald green
the twilight we painted in a radiant silverblue
as well as the changing skyline we had seen
lingering in that cobalt color
We, at the same time knew..
You, in your own sweet way, my hero,
you firstly did start
while paint on your hands, lilac and some dusty rose
which was deep and mighty enough to touch my heart.

But then, too soon, we met that deplorable sad rainy day
on which the two of us despite all had to say goodbye
feeling sorry to leave our masterwork unfinished in a way
knowing all splendid colors fading grey, resulting to die
I was left alone, maybe to add the missing but final flair
and at first my brush lifted as to paint colors of gold
like the light of rays of the now setting sun would care.

Roaming the roads alone to find my soul that I lost
thinking about how priceless a painting really could be
colors so splendid, now draped and stored, hidden away
and rare that the inspiration we had was
only to fill an empty page...

FREEDOM

When we laugh we risk to appear the fool..
and if crying we can be called sentimental..
reaching out to each other, risk of being involved..
showing true feelings, considered a big mistake..
having ideas seems just silly, so why bother..
placing dreams in front of a crowd really naive..
Speaking of love includes not being loved in return..
Trying and keep on trying the risk of ironic failure..
Trying to the fullest, a risky question for dying..

But:

Laughing isn't that bad, so let's take that risk..
Weeping can give relief, no harm being sentimental
Involvement is really needed; good to reach out..
Making mistakes lead us to strength which we can show..
Being silly sometimes is healthy, come and share ideas..
Not being loved in return, no end for speaking of love..
When failing we can at least say we really did try..
And dying is the only fact that's everyone's destiny..

So let us therefore live life to the fullest,
as long as we can..
For only the one
who dares
to risk..
Is truly
free....
