Colours

Walking into the tunnel of my imagination
I meet the empty sheet of paper
where all possibilities lie,
slumbering, waiting in silence

Armed with a flat brush and a rounded one
I move without thinking, just seeing
noticing what comes from the depths,
wanting to be birthed in this moment

The music blends with the colours
the bucket of water turns bluish
strokes are sweeping gently

Reconciliation

A continuous battle of life and death
has become a dance of integration,
stagnation is transformed into kinetic energy.

Polarities, vacuums and deep gaps
has brought forth mysterious meetings
and associations with numerous nuances

Separate parts melt together
so that enchanting colours arises,
where before there was only black or white.

New spaces and perspectives

Rage

A pattern of distorted illusions
that has been repeated infinitely
and concealed the dormant strength

There lies the memory of an actual victim
and a life force that was smothered

to awaken into life again
and make their voice heard

New territory

A space and an ocean
of a bottomless darkness

On trembling legs and without a lifeline
I leave the ingrained and bounded behind

Falling deep, flying high
in all directions simultaneously

I let the unknown embrace me
and clean out ancient wounds
