Nagging thoughts

When I am lying in my bed at night,
alone, and the world is quiet,
I hear voices in my head,
wishing to be somewhere else instead.

I know the song they are singing,
memorized the lines long ago,
but as long as I am not doing anything,
they sing forevermore.
 

Sitting by the pool

The sparkling sound of the waterfall
is caressing my ear constantly,
until the shadows grow long and tall,
the sun sucks out my energy.

I read, I write, I contemplate,
my mind is on vacation.
I relax during the day, party at night,
every moment a celebration.

Could I be more at ease?
If you think so, tell me, please.

On the move

Our lives are put in boxes
that we carry with us wherever we go;
and if we forget to label them,
we waste time looking for what we know.

To a dear friend

Spending much much time with you
is all I ever want to do:
no matter what task is at hand,
my wonderful beloved friend.
I actually do not care -
as long as you are there.
