The Poet and Musician:
I grew up and went to school in Germany, somehow made it through the sixties,
later on moved to Australia, spent some time in Southeast Asia and India,
but I feel more at home somewhere way beyond the universe.
I always moved around like a visitor on this planet, going here and there, leaving a few traces behind, slowly merging back into the elements, only to return one day to my true source. I studied the language of life while travelling through many different countries and cultures, always eager to listen to the sound of nature around and within me.
I'm just a grain of sand
on the shore of time, With the wind of love blowing through my mind. And the songs I sing, likes waves in the sea, A broken heart to mend, a lonely soul to free. |

My words and music are mere reflections of that sound, vibrating out into the ether.
Thoughts they wander across the sky, you don't know where they'll go.
Seeds are sown when the sun is nigh, without they cannot grow. We live inside a web of dreams, its threads we cannot see. While life is keeping us in chains, and caught by a million tiny strings, we try to set ourselves free. |
