me to Me
Spiritual voyage of discovery
Poems
In the sunshine I want to play and dance
Full of beautiful dreams and take my chance
To be free and careless about
What will come tomorrow.
Like a bit of fluff that’s blowing in the wind
To where the whisper guides me
And with the curiosity of a child
Discover what moves me.

On the Way to Myself
I am on the way to discover who I really am
And I no longer wish to see myself through the eyes of those
Who brought me up and taught me with the best of intentions
By which I judged myself full of pretentions.
I adapted and followed the social rules
Cared for others and did what seemed the right thing to do.
But this oppressed me and I no longer knew
The delight of long summer days
Crawling through the grass playing Indians on a quest
Being a child carefree and happy at rest.
I want to go back to that child in myself
That simply makes contact with the gnome and the elf.
That is open to new tracks with a surprise
Without worrying whether it fits the agenda
Or ‘would it be wise’?
*
I am who I am
I am who I am and that’s good
When I meet myself in truth.
I am who I am and that’s okay
If I welcome and accept myself all the way.
*
Reflection
I looked at you angrily
But I didn’t know that what I saw
Was a reflection
Of something that was mine
I was touched and it filled me with emotion.
*
Learning
Learning doesn’t happen overnight
Without hurting yourself sometimes
But if you are too careful
You won’t learn a thing and life will be so dull.
*
Nagging Thoughts
I have those nagging thoughts
That keep me from being myself
Like ‘Am I fulfilling the expectations of them all?’
Oh! These assumptions keep me small.
I want to discover and start to let them go
To live like a child who lives in a flow
In order to learn and follow my dreams
And impulses regardless of what they think of me.
Because…
In my colourfulness I want to stand
Lead my life from my inner strength
To feel free to follow the whisper and find out
And discover my life what is about.
