Fear 05:46
A chilly fear slowly seeps into my mind Like droplets in a line Running down my spine From deep behind your eyes Something’s gonna rise From silence into rage A terrifying stage A cube of ice in water cracks, turns warm to cold Didn’t really realize how it occurred Too late to run away. Unbearable to stay A setting sun made blurry shadows on the floor The moon was knocking softly at the entrance door A cube of ice in water cracks, turns warm to cold

Why 06:12
He dived into the water Burst into a million twinkling stars With iris like the rings of Saturn He now looks down at Jupiter and Mars Like a Zodiac on the sky Illuminating ”why” Questions in orbit like swarming bees Around the planet Sorrow Tries to find a way to ease The pain of tomorrow Looking for a place to take a rest In the middle of the salt blue sea
3.
Soaring 08:15
Soaring In a quilt of clouds with your wings spread wide Until A sudden whim makes you dive so swift Did you leave your will in the mind of the wind Left all your desire in a single wish To drift In a quilt of clouds with your wings spread wide Don’t you have no tasks? No remorse that disturbs? No matter where you soar. Up north or west Everywhere stars are the same, everywhere a nest You don’t bother where a new day will arise Each time you blink your eyes you get a new surprise Free bird, tell me please, how did you catch the sky Gravity takes me hard, how did you learn to fly
4.
I saw the lilac fade, from violet into grey A change from cheers to psalms On a single summer’s day Her last whiff of scent just blew away I saw a flock of birds leave a chilly afternoon They flew towards the sun, vanished behind the moon Wing strokes sprinkled silence, in the fading light Like dying embers, falling through the night I kicked a lump of snow Chased it down the trail Shattered into memories of our bumpy flight. Resolved into eternity of white

Aimless Mary 05:44
Still light in her eyes, from a fading star Aimless Mary’s walking On her daily route from bar to bar A purse full of worries to be unfold Let her talk she can’t be put on hold She’ll lead you into deep water with her husky voice Entangled in her secrets like a docile prey You’re going down There’s no other way, no other choice Her whirlpool for sure make you drown But no one wants to get drawn into her gloom So when she wants to sit down No one gives her room Aimless Mary’s walking On her daily route from bar to bar When she leaves the pub we all know she will cry But no one really asks that simple question why No one really asks that simple question why She bows her heavy body towards the night outside No one follows her home, no one’s at her side Aimless Mary’s walking On her daily route from bar to bar

Half Awake 04:32
Just awake after sleep In that half unconscious deep Anxiety rises from its shelter and seeps into my calm But it fades out with the rising light withdraws to its hiding place It leaves no trace and out of sight I leave it there As if I didn’t care So it goes, a life with blinders No one’s hurt, and no one’s free I’m a wall against my fire So I don’t need to fear I’ve locked up my desire
7.
Light as a bird and easy for an angel to carry Leaning back in your chair, as if you’re up in the air From broken speakers in your imaginary plane You hear the captain announce a destination an eternity from here The airplane is embellished like a castle With fourteen fairies dancing in a row Serving you a creamy cup of tea And a ”Lady Goldenglow” Sipping at a crystal glass of sparkling wine The crimson coloured sky looks so divine The earth, a ferris wheel below There’s a party in the sky, and all the drinks are free Angels are playing cricket, Luke is referee An orchestra plays Mozart, a soprano sings out loud The man you loved grows roses on a cloud
