RELIEF

The ladybug was home again.(1) His house was just a small one because mostly he was on the road, he travelled a lot. The ladybug, you know, was asked everywhere to show his skills. He was very good at moving to music. When music was heard and the ladybug moved to it, it generated emotions in the spectators, even more so than when they were just listening.
“Hi ladybug”, said the dragonfly.
“Hello there”, said the ladybug and warmly gave the dragonfly two kisses. The dragonfly blushed all over.
“You know,” said the dragonfly, “I never dared to say this, but often I can’t help but Continue reading

KEEPING

On a balmy summer day, the butterfly was fluttering from flower to flower and was letting herself be caressed by the afternoon sun. The butterfly was busy not being too busy, when suddenly a shadow glided over her. The butterfly looked up and saw the most beautiful flying creature she had ever seen.
Look, thought the butterfly, the blackbird is simply black, the sparrow grey, but this bird is … exuberant!
Yes, thought the butterfly, who did not exactly know what exuberant was, but still thought: Continue reading

Zo schrijf je nog
Of het betrouwbare licht
Ieder mens verlicht

En dan komt het bericht
Dat 12 mensen zijn gedood
Omdat sommigen vonden
Dat de eer werd geschonden
Zij dachten daarom
Te worden beloond
Als ze neerschoten
Door wie de eer werd gehoond

Voor een ideaal moorden
Niet weerleggen met woorden
Niet overtuigen door goede daden
Maar Continue reading

WHOLE AGAIN

After visiting a play about the life of VASLAV NIJINSKY, I got inspired to write this blog entry. Vaslav had triumphs as a dancer & choreographer, renewing male roles in ballet. After 10 years, he collapsed and received the diagnosis of schizophrenia. In his diary you can read how he chose to turn away from the world outside, into his own inner world. So the first part of the song is about that, the second part is about people who are lucky to eventually find a way to keep connecting their true selves to the outside world.

I thought that I was doing well
I thought that I was growing up
But all I did was to adjust myself
To what you wanted me to be

And here I stand in loneliness
With such a defragmented soul
Scattered pieces are all that rest
Because I never found the whole

refr:Finally refinding
……….My heart all over again
……….Finally rebuilding
……….And feel my wholesome soul again

I feel that I am moving well Continue reading

SOUL LOVE

00-Snap 2014-08-09 at 13.33.34I see your eyes in the morning and wonder
What are the thoughts they will bring me today
That is the greatest of gifts and I long there
Will be no end to this joy on my way

You are the one who is able to reach me
You are the one that could answer the call
That is the greatest of gifts that we each say
Let it not end, please, this joy in our soul

refr:Yes, yes, we are companions
……….We’re not afraid to open our souls
……….That’s ’cause we will be caring
……….Not to break down, what should be whole Continue reading
