Zywa Disruption

In the resonance
I hear the world
bend

Echoes in the night
It's haunted, I look
inside


Something is changing
And it's changing
forever


A warm rain falls
In a disruption
gates appear


I catch my breath
In and out, in and out
I ground myself


in more than the ground
beneath me, I ground myself
in the light

We made love, autumn

leaves fell on my naked back --


On yours. Or on hers?


De herfstbladerenHerbstblätter fielen
vielen op mijn naakte rug --auf meinen nackten Rücken --

Op jou. Of op haar?Auf deinen. Ihren?

Zywa Hologram of the universe

All the elements that we arrange
in the Periodic Table, the very first
bacteria and also we humans
are creators of the universe

In time and space we transform
the energy and co-write
the imperishable facts
on the edges of black holes

That information already existed
as Creator
giving it space and time
with a big bang

It's inconceivably
and inseparably both
energy and information
are aspects of each other

My mind doesn't get that
Even if in deep meditation
my consciousness unites
with all that exists, I am ignorant

Zywa In me, in you

Cherish me, shelter me
embrace me with your attention
     your blood wants to
     warm me skin on skin

Peace in me, your hand radiates
from afar into my belly
     I am not alone
     not a day, not a thought

Your spiritual body is with me
your heart follows mine
     in desire
     in love

Breathe with me and come
soon to hug me
     don't postpone and come
     to me, close to me

Zywa My world tree

Under my skull, my heaven firmament
is a world tree branching off
and that is me

Memories live there
in flashes of time
bounced at

from outside, here and there
lighting up to a memory
field, all sorts of things

in a fluent wave simultaneously
actively present, to muster
to be or not to be

a world of possibilities
all true for a second
or false and unnoticed

when the light extinguishes
and the flash of my knowing
hooks on to another memory

Zywa 1.5m air

Sometimes you look up, listening
whether there is anyone, then I don't fall
into your arms, we are not so
intimate with each other
regardless how much I love you

I get as close as possible
I whiten my shadows, bath me
in the scents of your home
and sneak around like a ghost
without a sheet

Sometimes something creaks
then you look up for a moment
without seeing where I am
and I answer your thoughts
with Chance

and the feeling of being alone
peacefully alone at home
there is no kissing
no sleeping together
and no one is missed

Zywa Poste restante

Sometimes I determine
the right moment myself, thinking

I know enough, but often I am surprised
by what comes from heaven

exactly at the moment
when I open my eyes

     I look in the envelope
     which half concealed

     is waiting for my unconscious
     knowing of the right moment

     to read what now
     is meaningful to me

If only I could stand above myself
to see the information flow

to behold and admire
the coils of the channels

from the universe in my body
and to understand and enjoy

life, that sometimes lies
waiting in my consciousness

as poste restante

Zywa The Way

An enlightened one doesn't eat alone
One plus one is more than two
Being together is seeing before you
the most beautiful gate one can imagine
the gate to a life you want to lead

Get up and go in
Every day anew
when you wake up
from your dream of a life
that really matters

An enlightened one drinks
water plus water is water
What happens, happens
seen or unseen
without loss or profit

We suffer what happens
working to end pity
working and wishing
for the well-being
of people

Zywa No reason

Nothing important happened
today, we were Far Out

sitting on a beach terrace – space
sun on me, wind on me, free

experiencing the world and myself
comprehending a gull, its attention

to fried fish, in the blink of an eye
feeling the somersault of the surfer

in the distance in my blood
breathing people in and out

cartwheels through my body
and windmills on the horizon

the moving and changing
in variations of the same, no reason

for sickening emotions
Could I have learned this sooner

could my brain have been different
or wouldn't I have been human then?

Zywa Opening

It was already there, unnoticed
until I started to pay attention

and now it comes in full
speed during the ceremony

I'm melting in front of a wall
of a sky high blazing fire

I am no longer a body
but flowing vibrations of heat

a growing, glowing spirit
as if I'm spreading arms into wings

I fall backwards
A gently waving bed

catches me, it eats the flames
and covers me with gold

It was already there
my third eye

the hidden entrance
for secrets and primal energy

the opening for the eternal
light from me

Zywa Apples in the haze

Moor at the orchard
wade through soft grass
and golden-yellow apples
to the pond in the middle
steaming in the evening

Enter the round basin
glide into the warm water
and swim over the bottom
of your primeval-applewise knowing
to the stairs of the tower

From the gallery, read the wind, the well
the flow of time, their ripples, their depths
and the misty shadows from later
which in the outside world
only will be recognizable

when the truth in which you
have bathed, is past
Known once, remains known
somewhere in the haze of your
dressed-up consciousness

without thinking about it --


just agreeing with it.

along with the world outside --


A leaf in the wind.
