The Fire in my Heart
Nanne Nyander - Poems and Paintings
War in the mind of the one that is broken,
broken into tiny pieces.
With the fire in my heart,
I will melt it all together,
and once again,
we will be one,
one whole,
one.

The Dragon
Nanne Nyander - Poems and Paintings
Far, far away, in an empty castle,
a dragon has been slumbering quietly
for many long years.
Then suddenly something slowly woke it up.
Now it’s consuming everything I have built up,
my sandcastle has turned into ruins.
It keeps destroying everything I thought was me.
Till I suddenly one day realise,
I am the dragon.

Invisible me
Nanne Nyander - Poems and Paintings
Invisible me, no thoughts to see,
no thoughts.
Invisible me, running past a tree,
running for the sea.
Listen,
I’m the sound of rain,
pouring over me.
Invisible me, nothing to see,
nothing to be,
nothing.

Time does not exist
Nanne Nyander Poems and Paintings
The past is not just a long time ago,
it’s also one second ago.
But the past does not exist,
time does not exist.
So what’s the difference?
-Nanne Nyander
The experience of being me is a thought.
I’m dissolving into nothing.

Sleep no more
Nanne Nyander - Poems and Paintings
Am I trapped in a thought?
Or are thoughts trapped in me,
as an endless loop
of nonsensical words and images?
Sleep no more.
I’m vigilant of thoughts coming to
drag me away,
drag me away, far, far away
to the land of oblivion.
I’m standing firm and solid in reality.
The mind invites me to tag along
to the most intriguing places.
But I’m on my guard,
I’m not as gullible as I once was.
No more sleepwalking
in the land of Oblivion.
I’m the truth,
I’m reality,
I am Awake.

Endless Journey
Nanne Nyander Poems and Paintings
The mind is brilliant,
but now I’m better prepared.
I know its tricks, I know not to get on the train.
The train of thoughts can take me on an
endless journey,
mostly to places I don’t find fascinating anymore.
I still sometimes find myself on the train,
but now I know where the emergency brake is.
I’d rather sit on a hill far, far away,
and just watch the trains passing by.
