See that wave in the water right over there?
You are desolate and alone just like that wave,
Letting itself be exactly as it is.
These waves are exactly like you,
crashing into you to make you disappear only to re-emerge once again.
You are this energy that flows down in your heart.
to make you alone and calm, just as the wave.
Let yourself be as you are.
Sometimes people lose trust in themselves,
And then they distrust the wave itself and maybe other people too.
But there is actually nothing to fear,
When you touch the quiet aloneness of what we all are,
Not just touch the you or touch the me,
But tap into the sky, for example, that you see free, way up there;
Then you see it is just as you have always seen it:
Alive as you,
Alive in wonder,
Alive in yourself and also free
To trust the sky.
To trust the sky,
is to trust you and to trust you is to trust me.
I don’t remember the rest,
But that is actually best.
To get it all perfect would be rather unfortunate,
I might mess it up.
for I risk messing around with the things I think I understand,
which of course,
are limited.
And in a way, it would be greedy.
You are like me,
a good little poet,
And maybe you know this already.
For these lines were always here.
I hope I am not considered the author.
No one can be.
I will write that now to myself and to you.
For myself and for you.
Here,
In my place,
Where the gift of songs unites us.
It would be a shame,
and even unlikely,
to be kept to myself.
