Then I
look at the
starry sky,
the majestic
beauty
curving above
the planet.
What was I
just worrying about,
I don´t remember.

Poem: Wild Geese by Mary Oliver
You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees
For a hundred miles through the desert, repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body
love what it loves.
Tell me about your despair, yours, and I will tell you mine.
Meanwhile the world goes on.
Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain
are moving across the landscapes,
over the prairies and the deep trees,
the mountains and the rivers.
Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air,
are heading home again.
Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,
the world offers itself to your imagination,
calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting —
over and over announcing your place
in the family of things.

Poem: Flirting Light
Light
flirts
with
the flower,
in its
natural
receptivity
it glows
and blooms,
is it
giggling,
too?

Poem: Mellow Peace
open sky,
moon lit
grace,
candle light,
a glass of wine,
two warm
blankets
surround me,
a blanket,
and peace.

Poem: Metamorphic Droplet
a droplet
joyfully plops
in the sun´s
warmth,
the precum
of spring
merges with
the earth,
chuckles

Poem: A Shamanic View
On a breathtakingly
beautiful winter day
twelve birds
are having a rest
on the white laced
branches of the trees;
they look huge
compared
to the scenery
like do
ships on
an oceanic horizon.
Magical moment
of stagnation
gets saved
by the inner
camera,
in a past life
a native tribe
is quietly
tuning into
the Great Spirit.

Poem: Butterfly Paradise
two white
butterflies
dance together
across the
landscape,
their mutual
joy
and lightness
reflect
the inner
the chrysalis
phase
is gone,
did
I ever
think
otherwise
playfully
they
swirl
together
like
there
never
was
anything
dense.
