The Willow Tree (…from “1001 Very Short Fairytales”, Story #97)
There was this little willow tree,
That lived for many seasons;
It had its branches wild and free,
Without giving any reasons.
Then this woodsman came along
And said to the tree, it just couldn't
Have these wild branches,
He would have to chop them all away,
But the little willow tree just wouldn't
Give in;
So the woodsman,
Cut it down the very next day.
And now the forest has lost its soul,
Of everlasting wilderness
And beauty.

It’s Snowing Again
It’s snowing again
This winter morning
Silver threads grain
Of icily yearning
Day in cold light
Giving their frost
In February flight
Where silences crossed
In white pearls
And glistening doubt
Silver corns hurls
The ground about
The playfully breeze
Scattering glow
All that accompanies
Winter cold snow

Summer Summer (#2)
Summer summer to you
In weaving emotions
Endless colorings through
To tomorrow's oceans
Contrasting each striking day
Throughout the roads
Intimate outlining play
Till all the tinctures are bled
Thru the evening and day
Summer summer so true
In its shadings devotions
Always unmarked to renew
Leaves of withering erosions
Playful gardens in the allay
Roses yellow blood-red
Thru dance time and ballet
As the daytime's outspread

The New – To Come
I'll be the mask
Of inside free
To each coming task
That becomes me
Tincturing the shade
Of springtime come
The earthly made
Of rainbows from
The world is to seek
Conquer and outlay
Sky stroke and its streak
Of a coming day
Gone with the breeze
That was once new
Life is but its glees
And unlucky to view
I'll be new while
And difference to eyes

Let It Shine On
Let it shine on
All that is glowing
Never be gone
In a world of going
Let it have gold
Shining on so fine
In our eyes to hold
Glisten like sunshine
A bouquet of flowers
In a dream to find
Moments and hours
Those left behind
Everything is falling
Like a glow to dark
Memories on calling
In their old spark
Let it shine through
Weaving its fine

Into The Blue
Into the blue
Falling and falling
My love to you
Never again calling
Freedom is harmony
Dust on the roadway
Now at last I'm free
From what you've to say
My road is new
Take out your heart
You never were true
Only a fire start
Freedom is breaking
From breeze at night
New thoughts awaking
In Pegasus flight

Sunshine Summer Day
Sunshine summer day
Everything is glowing
Life seems so okay
In every footstep on going
Dreams of your heart
In a breathtaking singing
From fresh morning start
That now daybreak’s bringing
Have a wonderful day
In your way and time
As the hours on play
One by one to their prime
There is nothing wrong
When thoughts are freshly new
In a summer time song
When I´m in love with you
Sunshine summer day

Winter Daydream
Winter daydream
Like winter blow blow
Nothing really seem
Only a glisten glow
Feelings from inside
On to darkish way
In their day hide
Making times play
That is reality now
Thru moments on
Bleak and dark brow
Till winter is gone
Every feeling fast
Like the windy heart
Memories from past
Bring their hour’s start
Winter day song
Dancing on a window

Magic Evening
Magic evening
Thru night and waves
Mirror gleam living
In a heart that craves
Yesterday was ambiance
Now is something more
In aquatic acquaintance
To the vast shore
Magic glowing
Dream of red yellow
On heaven showing
Moments saying hello
Sea of exotic song
Dream to set sail
Romantic heart to long
In its sodden trail

Tomorrow Comes
Tomorrow comes
Don't you worry
Spring again blooms
Don't be in a hurry
You are young once
Like spring days
Give life a chance
And its many ways
Tomorrow comes
Like night after a day
Summer and autumns
Do I more daresay
Longings are in the breeze
That follows the air around
Around the summer trees
And everywhere else it's found
Tomorrow comes
It's in its destiny
