- SELECTED POEMS
The Illusion of Separation
For just one moment I thought
it was real
The separation of you and
me
But this is not true as
I can feel
We're connected in space,
the place to be.
The noble art of an open
mind
Is all it takes to reach
me there.
I know we are no longer
blind,
Which means we have much
more to share.
In one moment distance
is dissolved
Even though I fly away.
From the devotion we have
evolved,
So even if I'm leaving
I'll stay.
The Wedding.
Walking together
on the Path called Life
is very special as
Man and Wife.
Inspire each other
do not compete,
then your Life
will be complete

Space is information
it is an open invitation
share your mind
don't be blind
go without hesitation.
Space is love
like a hand in a glove
every where beneath and above.
Feel it, hear it, take it in
it all vibrates in the wind.

Your own choice
Changing the scare
of cause and effect,
is merely a question
of how you select.
The teachings are given
the methods are there,
it is your choice
your lifes affaire.
Practice with diligence
and keep your bond,
then you will gradually
go beyond.

Sounds of realization
"Om ma ni pe me hung" the sound of
Loving Eyes
the mantra is rollin' - revealing a surprise.
Glimpses of space and the recognition,
truly a blow, what a vision.
Embraced by the sounds from beginningless time,
awakening wisdom - purifying mind.
The deepest meaning on the highest level,
beyond the concept of the god and the devil.
Connecting through all pervading space,
accepting the reflection of the buddha face.
Sound is emptiness, emptiness is sound,
and the wheel of dharma is turned around.

The Mirror of Eternity
Playing with the Sun and the Moon,
thus having the Universe in my hand.
Not until now and yet so soon,
I realize the nature of Man.
Sun and Earth inseperable one,
eternity Stars shining bright.
The search is finished, Questions? None!
Everything is fine and right.
From the beautiful Morning of beginningless Time
we drank the Wisdom nectar as Wine.
We drifted away like waves in the Sky,
always United not you and I.
From: International Library of Poetry, England and put into
music by René Rasmussen.

The Mantra of Tara
The veil of anger, the veil of fear
create obstacles in your life right here.
Try to calm down and open your heart,
recite Tara's mantra as a start.
Great Liberatrice will push the veils,
like a strong wind gives birth to a sail.
Transforming the actions that would have meant
drama,
by purifying the negative karma.
Recite Her mantra for the benefit of all,
and confidence will grow strong and tall.
Om Tara Tu Tare - you know what to say,
and your wishes are granted on your way.

Goodbye to regrets
Realizing the concept of impermanence,
letting all the obstacles go,
never needing a tough defense,
but gaining freedom and grow.
Emptiness is not a threat
but where we all belong.
Saying goodbye to all regrets,
and samsara will not be so strong.

Rest in the mind
Rest in the mind
beyond hope and fear
when no more blind,
then joy will appear.
Let's meet on this level
in open space
seize the moment
and dance with grace.
Exchanging meaningful inspiration
revealing exciting manifestation.
Kept together by love -
vibrating with joy
the world is an illusion
- what a toy.

Relative confusion
Is this it? Or is it illusion?
At this point it is confusion.
Should I wait, should I
ask?
Patience is the toughest
task.
Do we dare, who'll be first,
only love can drown this
thirst.
And the longing that I
feel,
cuts my heart like solid
steel.
In your eyes the light
is there,
that can put an end to
fear.
Can I mirror that reflection,
then the gift is true perfection.
From: The Best Poems of 1998. Fragments
of The National Library of Poetry, USA August 1998

The Dawn of Realization
Just like a beautiful flower
unfolding before my eyes
strong from the sun and
showers
revealing yourself with
a slight surprise.
Confirming my intuition
I expected this from the
start.
Marvelling at the recognition
when we meet here heart
to heart.
At the dawn of realization
you and forever depart,
as the true confirmation
of a fully opened heart.
So long it caused so much
confusion
is finally revealed as
pure illusion.
Dualism is all gone it
is one united mind,
openly sharing the dream
never more being blind.

Hello Again
That summer we met was
electrifying,
Connecting with you taught
me flying,
Greeting a stranger, finding
a friend,
This is the magic of how
it began.
.
Somehow I knew from the
glimpse in your eyes,
This precious bond is not
a surprise.
Previous wishes put us
together,
I felt the chill, but not
from the weather.
.
What we will create and
what we will bring,
somehow will work like
a hook and a ring.
Reflecting the smile on
my face,
Celebrating the gift of
space.
