The rock taught me to be strong
The eagle taught me to fly high
The train taught me to carry my baggage
The fish taught me to be silent
The river taught me to be in the flow
The ocean taught me to respect
The sun taught me to be warm
The stars taught me to shine
The cuckoo made me mad
Every teacher isn’t a human
Every one of them makes a difference
Open your mind and observe
In awe
Signals flashing in my brain
What is this thing called pain
Very early morning musing
All my senses red of bruising
Slowly moving from the bed
Foggy thoughts in my head
Come on goodness let me heal
For this experience is surreal
This will also pass
Under the skin there is fatty layer
For all our trouble Iet’s make a prayer
So many memories locked in the cells
Healing our egos with translucent gels
Too many sunburns in my youth
The surgeon tells me – Is it the truth
Time wasted getting tanned on the beach
Skinned to the bone soft like a peach
Chills down my spine from the sterile bed
For anesthetic potions I am now glad
Soothing music from the stereo player
Cuts through the skin to the deeper layer
Sharp move of the little steel knife
Clenching my jaws holding for life
Released my fears into white pillow
Chopped piece of me weighed like a kilo
The leftover me
Standing atop a ridge
Buried alive living dead
Emotions are the bridge
Of our heart and our head
Stay put in the core of movement
Let the world roll off its track
Trust and believe in improvement
Create new life without lack
Trophies of internal battle
Make a stark chest decoration
Steady moving like a cattle
Not knowing their destination
Find new hope in flower buds
Open your eyes to natures love
Where is no water there are no floods
With Mighty presence right above
Let it pour…There is more
