Ode to Nature

      Wake up in the morning
     Don’t have to be sorrowing
        Go outside, take a run
     In the shining morning sun
     Breathe the air, just fill it in
And you feel you’ve never better been
    Red, pink, orange in the sky
   And you are glad you’ve tried
                         Birds are singing
                                  now
                            And you just
                            think “Wow!
                          Why didn’t I do
                             that before?
                            I’ve got to do
                          that some more.
      If I can I will do it again
       With my neighbor Ben.
The Ocean



    Water is splashing
                                      Against the rocks
   Waves are coming in
                                     Formable over time
         Wildness
                                    A story buried inside
         Freedom
                              Millions of animals are living in it
          Unique
                                    Over millions of years
And only once the waves are
                                        A source of life
  Crashing the same way
                                  Between rocks and water

                                    Something stabile and

                                             Still

                                   Something changeable

                                           Beautiful

                                            Nature
The Fight

                    You are standing there
              Energy flying through your body
                           Excited
                       You can’t wait
            Scared
  Who might that be?
 Who are you waiting                               for?
What are you waiting                                 for?
    You can’t tell
 Until you finally go
         out
      And fight
Give all your energy
All that you got
  Impress
Maybe no-
body else
 But


                                                   your-
                                                   self
                                      And when you did it
                                      You can be proud
Smile
                No interruption of smiling all day long
             Your face expresses that you could sing a song
                    You seem so happy all the time
                        But what is really buried
                          Behind your smile?

                  Aren’t you worried about anything?
                    Aren’t you mad about anything?
                    Aren’t you sad about anything?
          Yeah, there are bad topics which can make you sing

                     It can’t always be right and good
                         It isn’t always like it should
             Smile
                              But I don’t know
No interruption of smilingIf you just don’t show
                           all day
               long
               How disappointed you sometimes really are
Your face expresses that you can’t always be in a bar
                        You could
            sing a song
 You seem so happy all the time party in your life
                           On a
    But what is really buried your reality one time with a knife
          Maybe it will stab
       Behind your smile?
                                 I can’t see
                                 Definitely
Aren’t you worried about anything?
 Aren’t you mad about anything? you do that
                              How
  Aren’t you sad about anything? without any crap
                        Just smile
 Yeah, there are bad topics which
        can make you sing

 It can’t always be right and good
     It isn’t always like it should

         But I don’t know
      If you just don’t show
Shoes
 They can be green or red
        Small or fat
 Everyone is fitting some-
             one
     It just goes along
 With some people it does
But sometimes people cuss
Because they can also hurt
 They can make your feet
         feel burnt
  You can feel it through
     your whole body
When your feet are bloody
      Life is like that
     Flying like a bat
    Through the dark
  Dogs notice it and bark
 But you have to find out
          yourself
      For no one else
  Can be made dicisions
  About the permissions
 And hopefully you have
             luck
            And it doesn’t
                    suck.
