"....have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and to try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language. Don’t search for the answers, which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live them. And the point is to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer.”
― Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet

Wake me up...

The lyrics of the song 'Wake me up' by Avicii that inspired this poem..

It took awhile to realise
What this was,
That wasn't over

A step ahead
A step back
A hiccup of fear
I knew it clear

I took my time
With every line
On a canvas I drew
The thoughts words threw

Over the edge...




Is it not
What we desire most
Makes us..?
Is it not
What we want most
 Breaks us..?

Listen...


When life stands still
Words from your mouth bound to spill
Listen to your soul
Deep within
Your body that it fills

When all seems quiet
Not a soul in sight
Listen to the ocean 
Hidden wisdom
From a shell you’ll hear if you might

Passing thought...


A drop of tear
And I have no fear
A touch of love
Neither there nor here!
A sense of belonging
Not too far or near
A feeling of loneliness
But not a soul to hear!
A brush of friendship
How beautiful yet dear
An echo of my heart beat
So simple yet clear!
