Drama on the pitch
Passion for a game
Cheers for the magic displayed
Gladiators receive their fame

Drama in the mediterranean
Apathy for the suffering
Ignored by everyone and everything
Given a status without dignity

An unexpected circumstance

An unexpected circumstance

 

Hit, a split second,
No idea what is going on…

Blackout! Down on the ground,
No airbag to soften the blow…

~~~

Probing conscious feelings, unconscious
Nursing an awareness of being,
While eyes shut, dreaming?

Wandering about, in the dark,
Overwhelmed by experience,
Drifting, searching for a way out…

Exit sign, nowhere in sight
Losing control of time,
Imprisoned in this void…

Flashing images penetrate the senses,
Searching deeper within,
Distracted by a light…

Making an inquiry into the soul
Discovery through meditation
Exploring the boundaries of the mind.

~~~

Sensing! A brief moment of awareness,
Acting! Crawling out of the darkness…

Awake! Alone in a foreign place,
Flooded by extreme feelings…

On Fire

On Fire

A poem about the competitive nature of life and the possible experience of a brief moment of tranquility…

 

Fast pace, on fire
Caught in a time bubble,
Slowing down
Looking in, looking out
Very briefly,
Experiencing the moment
On fire, returning to fast pace…

An Observation

An Observation

When you treat friends like adversaries,
And allies like enemies…

What is left to do with your enemies?
Befriend them to avoid serious conflict?

Lets hope wisdom prevails,
And disagreement is overcome by sanity…

What other expectations should we have?
Allowing egos rampage the stage?

2 Verses on Transcendence

Evolution

Deep feelings track the mind
Following intuition,
Passing by a sign…
Following impulse,
Acting by instinct…
Following a hunch,
Moving slowly closer…

Am I making progress?
Moving beyond that place,
Surpassing the current world,
Ascending into a new state,
Advancing slowly,
Transcending beyond my imagination…

Pace

Diving deeper
Into the abyss
Discover bliss
Avoiding the reaper

Walking onward
Closer to the light
Explore the site
Becoming stronger

Circling the land
Feel your heart
To never be apart
Holding your hand

Formless

Formless to Form
Some wisdom about existence…
Form to Formless

Growing from formless to form
Experience of a beginning
Evolving from form to formless
Witness of an ending

Existence experienced in the form
A conscious mind

Existence experienced in the formless
Uncharted space

Growing from form to formless
Experience of an ending
Evolving from formless to form
Witnessing a beginning?

Today

Today I find myself in a state of rest,
Where the window view looks inviting,
And light is not hurting my senses,
No need to find a place to hide in the dark…

I sense a feeling of relief,
A moment of dreaming,
Surrounded by love and care,
Caught by a sense of happy feelings…
