Remember, remember

remember, remember

the blood streaks

running down your legs

the darkness of death

and flames of shame

remember, remember

liberating  pain

tearing your heart apart

and screaming in vain

remember, remember

burying your own children

digging the dirt with your hands

hot tears the only prayer over them

remember, remember

the fight and the pride

the weapons you carried

the killing in vain

remember, remember

the plight out to sea

seeking for gold

seeking for me

remember, remember

the horror and pain

strangers in your land

plunder and rape

killing for faith

remember, remember

the darkness of dawn

the promise of light

the tremble of your body

bursting with fright

remember, remember

the cold and the frost

the lure of the dead

in white barren lands

far up the northern skies

remember, remember

the darkness of your womb

where all life started

deep in the woods

remember, remember

the comfort of home

before time began

where we were all one

remember, remember

the softness of Earth

the hug of the trees

moist soil underneath your feet

remember, remember

the green of the moss

the call of the rana 

the smell of the vine

remember, remember

the taste of the earth

the milk of the mother

the feel of the home

remember remember

embrace of the forrest

guided by the stars

follow the river

she's leading you home

Rise, Beautiful Mother

Rise, beautiful Mother

Raise up your head

You've been buried too long

Down in the netherlands

Rise from the ashes

Rise from the mud

Raise up your power

Lift up the Earth

Shine in the sky 

Like a beautiful star

Leading us forward 

Ready to fight

Rise from ashes

Rise from the mud

Raise up your power

Lift up the Earth

Open your heart

Blaze in the dark

Leading us homeward

Guiding with Love

Rise from the ashes

Rise from the mud

Raise up your power

Lift up the Earth

Mother

I love you madly

With every hot drop of my blood

I love you deeply

With every fresh breath in my lungs

I love you gently

With every  burning tear down my cheek

I love you dearly

With every fiber of my body

I love you eternally

For you are nothing but light

I love you beautifully

For you fill my heart with joy

I love you admiringly

For you send butterflies my way

I love you entirely

For you gave me life

I love you endlessly

For you and me are one

The dawn of being

Love cannot exist in time,

The nature of love is timelessness. 

Pure love is eternal. 

It has no beginning and no end. 

You cannot win it or loose it.

You cannot give it, deserve it or grant it.

It exists in you unconditionally.

It has always existed inside you, just someone had to come along and like a mirror shine it back at you, for you to see. 

It is the most beautiful thing..... The dawn of Being. 

Teardrop

A teardrop ran down my lip

Like petal of a flower

A song forgotten in the wind

That sings of tales of power

That same drop 

Running down my chin

Etching a path

For another one to follow

And slowly, gently on my neck

Like flutter kisses

Blazing pictures  on my skin

A memory so long forgotten...

When the world is upside down

When the world is upside down

And what is right has been called wrong

The current is dragging you

Into your death

Shadows crawling

Ghosts whispering

Seductive lies into your head.

When you notice the sun

sliding behind you

Leaving you into an endless night

It's time to turn around

Walk away from the crowd

It's when you feel the breeze

Under your hands

Mother Earth breathing life

In your footsteps

The ocean calling your name

And the wind giving you wings

To fly against the current. 

You know 

you are walking the sacred way home. 

There is no road to follow

No signs ahead

No guides to show you 

the treacherous holes

Only fingers pointed 

Empty faces frowning

" you are walking the wrong way"

And hands pulling you down

And dead bodies blocking the way. 

But It's when you follow

The song of the heart

Leading you down the path

That no one is walking

The voice of your soul

Gently talking

Whispering secrtes

So forgotten andd dark

That everyone in your world

Has turned their back

Keep on walking

With a song on your lips

Let go of the hand of Fear

It's only holding you back

Come face the Sun and the stars

Step by step

Each one closer to home

Where the soul belongs. 

Can we dare dream?

We all live in oppression. 

Oppression of someone else's opinion, someone else's judgement or the fear of someone else's words or actions. 

We live in a world of bullies. 

Where we allow ourselves to be bullied and in turn we misplace our own anger onto those who allow us to bully them. 

Constantly reinvesting our precious energy into a vicious circle. 

It is time to stop. 

Drop the power struggle and abandon the need to assert ourselves onto another human being just so we don't feel powerless. 

Stand in our own strength, on our own two feet, responsible for our actions, words and thoughts. Responsible for our feelings. 

And most importantly responsible for our power. 

Can we dare dream of a world where there is no power struggly?

Can we dare manifest that dream from our own actions?

Filth

We live with the fascinating notion that when things get out of hand, when life takes a turn we didn't expect, or don't get everything the way we want we should scramble and attempt to fix.... Everything. 

We power up, toughen up, start new projects and get everything done.  

We close up, put on the armor and ready ourselves for a battle so we can get it "right". 

We blind ourselves to the way things are and only see how we want them to be. 

We cut ourselves off the present moment so we don't have to deal with the chaos or feel the disappointment. 

Ironically, the only thing we need to do when the shit hits the fan is... To sit in the shit. 

Sink really nice and deep ad feel the tight embrace of all that is going "wrong". 

Dive into the darkness and soak in the chaos. 

Breathe in the muke of our own dead ideals and rotten dreams. 

Sink deeper into the filth of unborn desires and repressed fears. 

And stay there, until we loose that "Yuk" sensation and get really nice and comfy. 

Once we no longer tremble with desire to get out and get "cleaned up" is when we can finally stand up and keep walking with no goal in sight but the next mud puddle. 

Delusions

If delusion is all I have to keep me going, then I shall hold onto it with all my heart

If illusion is the only light

That shows my way

I shall cherish it until my last breath. 

Until my last breath

Find my anger, 

fuel my rage,

Sing my war song 

with the last of my breath,

Dance to the rhythm of my own heart 

and die with freedom on my lips.  

Anger born not out of my fear

But of my compassion

Rage carried in my veins 

From eons of repression

Violence fueled by the aggression

Towards my sacred soul 

Rip a cry out of me, Mother,

Gift me a war song

Rip my soul into pieces 

Bleed my heart out

To feed the hungry soldiers

To quench the thirst of the soil

Gift me courage, Mother,

And strength

To hold in my arms

The dying

To breathe power in the lines

Of my men

To carry the spirit of freedom

To lead and sing the war song

Until my last breath. 

Another name

I want to face the Angel of Death

Become One with her

I want to feel the coldness of her fingers

I want to drink the chill of her breath

Wrap her fingers around my heart

Embrace the darkness of my soul

A serpent is rising in me

And I am not afraid of its rage. 

Another face of the flame in me

Just as true as the light

Darkness not out of ignorance

Blackness as the twin of the Light

Another name for the Love in me

Born out of compassion

Born out of wrath

Violence reigns in me

Carried on infinite light. 

Light the fire in me

I put down the sword and the guard

I fight with the light in me

With the Love in my heart

I come not to conquer

I fight not for my might

I come to bring freedom

and bring my soul back to life

I come to remind 

of the limitless possibilities

I come to show you the Light. 

Stay with me Mother

Shine on me, Mother

Shower me with your light. 

Let me step into the fire

Not because I am strong and ready

But because I am scared and weak. 

I bow before you, Mother

In reverence 

In humble prayer

Give me guidance

Give me light

So I can bear your luminous might. 

I am nothing but a vessel

Carrying your word

Serving your will

Following your steps. 

I bow before you humbly

Let me be able

Let me be enough

To be with you

I am not strong, Mother

But I am willing 

To walk down  the path

Stay with me when I stray off the road

Stay with me in my moments of weakness

Stay with me when I am lost

Stay with me in delusional victory. 

Bathe me in your tenderness, Mother,

Wrap me in your  glorious wrath

Feed me with compassion

Lull me to sleep in your fog. 

So I wake up tireless

Forgotten the horrors of yesterday

Eager to take up the path once more

Singing your beautiful song. 

How much I love you

The Love that makes me happy is the Love that I can share with you. 

Why do I need to deny that I Love you?

It is not important if you Love me back. 

I may die tomorrow or you may die tomorrow. 

What makes me happy now is to let you know how much I love you"
