Strumming tears
The world keeps turning
no matter whether
we understand
that everything is
connected to us
I watch
from the scenery
gently strumming
tears on my guitar
The floor is dirty
There are no residents
Everyone is busy
with other things
and passes by love
I watch
from the scenery
gently strumming
tears on my guitar

Zywa
The Wheel
Knowledge is like clouds
time collects it and drives it
past if we don't save it
piled up generation after generation
into a yarrow, a giant
that you can climb
to views
that reach further and further
Once in a while there is a storm wind
a fury that makes the wheel spin
and blows the clouds apart
because wind does not want to learn
it lashes out its freedom
on its way to an emptiness
Knowledge is everywhere
it is in the air
it burns what is parced
it feeds what wants to grow
it is life-giving water, oceans full
worlds rise from it
worlds flow
from the mountains back into it
