a godsend sleeping in my arms
i entered a palace full of lights
being part of an atmosphere
of affection, oneness and cheer
rife with devotion and borne by love
we approached the celestial throne
offering flowers to the source of life
and paying homage by bowing down
we were drenched in pure joy
receiving the heavenly blessing
the divine glance beheld me
like an endless ocean to dissolve in
everything happened so smoothly
as if done through but not by me
without thinking and so effortlessly
we could absorb the energy
touched, amazed and jubilant
moving slowly backwards
we will treasure this perfect moment
forever in our hearts

standing in a crowd of people
i was awaiting her arrival
surrounded by an atmosphere
of anticipation, delight and care
noticing her appearance at the gate
waves of light flew through me
causing that there was nothing left
but bliss and joy inside me
sensing that she entered the scene
again a wave drenched me
letting me feel the connection
with the entirety
finally as the stage unveiled
and i could see her face to face
another wave raised me with ease
and I reached the elysian fields
embraced by motherly love
in its purest form
no need for further proof
i knew my soul arrived at home

it was a careworn place
with the sign of suffering overhead
and the bones of a canonized
lying in a corner, dead
i was sitting there
in a row with the believers
feeling the burden of centuries
heavy on my shoulders
an old man stood there, preaching
against knowing from experience
light is to be found through belief und confidence
no room for creativity, spontaneity or exuberance
i had to go at once
there was no other way than leaving
outside I could feel the burden fading
one step closer to experience

people are drawn to the leader
who promises and forces change
they gather around this commander
projecting hopes on him in exchange
it’s transformation they are claiming
and change in which they believe
but then they are reclining
is that enough?
so who has the resources
and who is in charge?
is it the leaders’
or of his entourage?

starting with a few drops
dribbling out of the source
pure and untouched it starts the quest
seeking a way to quench the thirst
drop by drop gradually
evolving into a mighty river steadily
stronger than a mountain eventually
it washes away all the dust constantly
reaching the final destination
where no thirst can ever arise
it dissolves into the big ocean
enjoying the connection with the universe

Tags: birth, daughter, miracle, poem, poetry
it happened on april twenty-nine
that we were blessed with a miracle
long awaited but ahead of time
an angel took birth, so adorable
she came with such certainty
and with such force
as if arranged in eternity
this life here together with us
she cried out just twice
then fell asleep instantly
looking so relaxed, so timeless,
so satisfied having done her job properly
standing by her side, drenched in bliss
speechless, stunned, the brain unworkable
crying tears of joy as I realize
this is my daughter, what a miracle
