Dreams of Transcendence

The Eternal Moment Space and time Have me locked in their claws I’m looking for this one Eternal moment When you were there And I was so close I opened myself A part of me going out to you On that stage Our mouths forming the same words At the same time Our voices becoming one One emotion – one passion – one melody That annihilated space and time And took me beyond all limits Unifying me with you in this one Eternal moment That made me believe In the possibility to transcend Space and time A.E.,December 2005

Where my Dream Begins The blurred line Where the gleaming orange-purple Of the setting sun Melts into the misty blue of the sea This is where my dream begins Red and blue Hot and cold Day and night They all melt into each other Transcending all boundaries Oppositions merge – becoming one In an undistinguished union Of light and love Every individual is the whole The whole is every individual Constructive creativity and peace Have replaced destruction and war Everyone has a unique place in the whole picture Nobody is alone, but ALL IS ONE!

A.E.,May 2005

The Voice Cold coffee In the night Muted music Drifting through the room Hitting my ears Invading my mind Through a curtain of dizziness The lights blinding Pain pushing in through my eyes I want to close my active senses Not to look, but to see Not to listen, but to hear Not to touch, but to feel Not to do, but to be Not to want, but to be fulfilled But a voice in me raises protest A voice in me tries to scream: “I want!” A voice in me can’t be silenced And screams: “Life is for living – songs are for singing – tales are for telling” So I surface From the deep – limitless – shapeless – undefined ocean Inside of me I return I have to face the world again Knowing I have to accept The incompleteness The never ending quest for more More love – more pleasure – more recognition – more success I won’t break The eternal axis Of desire and death Choose life and accept lack The only option The voice in me is screaming even louder: “I want, therefore I am!” A.E.,January 2006

Letter A letter lost in time A Christmas card you never got Fell into my hands tonight It brings back memories That are not mine Fragments of the tales you told Appear vaguely in my mind Like paling photographs of past decades A wave of nostalgia seizes me A yearning for the carefree happiness of your youth I want to meet the girl you were Full of life and hope and adventure I feel like I know that girl well But your past is lost for this world I will never meet that girl Your youth will stay a glittering fairytale – A comforting myth for me The piece of paper in my hands reminds me: There is a link between that girl And this very moment – A spark of your youthful happiness lives on inside of me
