Of all the places we travel
love always crosses the fields with us

Healing
If I am to write about the struggles, the fights,
the ambushes, the bombs, the killings
I need words I do not want to express
the attempt in describing the utter horror
gives power to its pain
so let me share with you the stories of healing wounds
a flower laid down where our hearts go out to
the soft embrace from a savior
a candle lit in the dark hours
the hands from a friend reaching out
the opening doors by a stranger
pulling you in from harm
the light that enters the crack
for a brief moment only think about that
let this thought take you into the world of compassion
and know this is in you
and in this feeling of helplessness
look for the helpers in all world’s mayhem
and know this is you too

Breathe
Breathe deeply
until all you breathe is the sweetness of the gift of life
breathe deeper
until the calm has erased all else
until only the joy envelops you
to be alive
keep on breathing until only love rests
and love becomes your breath
°Woodlights Woudlicht
The loving
I have sculpted you
in dimensions
out of time
I tended the minutes
gathered the hours
extended my being softly into yours
only to find out
that in the ways of the soul
I have solely been loving you
all the way down
woven through thin air
into
existence
just as I have been cherishing
the presence of myself
in the surrender to it all
and of all this being here
emulated in breathing
I understand
at the dawn of magic
it doesn’t matter how things are becoming in the grand creation of it all
the sole reason of existence
is the loving
in whatever sculpture you turn your life into
evaporating
solidifying
an endless magical dance
of birthing
into love
°Woodlights Woudlicht
Unending love
From the depths of our being flowers a well overflowing swirling into existence and of all depths this one is infinite shadows dance around the light and the light loves it all in the ugly it will find beauty in the helpless hope and in the in-between life and death it will embrace all reminding us of unending love °Woodlights Woudlicht
As well
In the limitless fields
you should wander
and understand
you are infinite as well
in the abundance of the worlds
you should journey
and grasp
you are bountiful also
in the healing spaces
you should pass
and accept
you are medicine too
in the grace of love
you should reside
and comprehend
you are its prayer
more than ever
