The Sound of a Bird

 Nanne Nyander

Wisdom by Nanne Nyander

**

Here I am, appearing as the sound of a bird. 

Here I am, as the wind,
moving through the grass.
Here I am.
Love is hiding inside me,
but what is me?
There is no inside and no outside.
Love takes control of this body,
makes it move through space and time. 

Love listens to the story of my past,
and me believes it’s true,
but no stories are the truth.
The truth is I,
I am is the truth.
Here I am.
Take away what is not true,
and left is only I.
No past, no future, just I.
Here I am, appearing as a tree, 

disappearing as me.
Here I am.

I can hear a distant whisper,

a whisper beyond time.

It whispers not to the mind,

but to itself.

I listen and think I know what it’s saying, 

but I’m just in the way.

Listen, be silent, don’t think.

It speaks not to the mind,

but to the silence itself.

The silence that I am.

Can you hear the Music?

 

Angel of Music by Nanne Nyander

Listen, can you hear the music? 

The music's inside my body,

every particle is full of music. 

I can sense it vibrating throughout my entire being. 

Now it’s outside my body, can you hear it?

I’m music, I’m vibrating, 

The music of the universe,

is me. 

- Nanne Nyander

Fleeting memories moving away from me, 

will they come back?

If they do come back, 

will they be the same, 

or have they changed without me noticing?

Slow down

 

**

Empty world, empty words. 

Everyone is talking, but no one is listening.

Slow down,

I can’t see what I’m thinking.
It’s probably something brilliant. 

It’s like a massive jigsaw puzzle.
All the pieces, thrown up in the air, 

some pieces upside down
and some pieces the right side up, 

showing me fragments of this brilliancy, 

but I can’t make out the whole picture. 

I can sense it’s something magnificent. 

I can feel it.
One day soon, I will put it all together,

 then,
then I will show you how brilliant I am.

In an insane world,
 who is the winner?


The insane person,
 or the one who has left it all behind,


the one who has realised she is nothing?


In an insane world,
 what is the goal?


To become more insane 


or to realise you’re the one watching it all passing by?

 In an insane world,


are you the participator or the spectator?


Or are you both?

Mind is a magician creating the most convincing illusions.

I’m a free being,

being captured in my own mind.

In bondage by believing in what’s not true.

I’m a free being. Truth is what I am.

I’m a free being,

being trapped in this world of illusions.

I’m a free being.

I walk alone, I walk in my own footsteps, 

circling round and round

till I get too dizzy to think clearly.

I know I am free, help me to remember.

I’m a free being,

being oblivious of my own freedom.

I stand tall,

I have both feet firmly on the ground,

 steady and determined to be grounded in the truth. 

I’m a free being,

I walk alone.

I walk till I reach the edge of this world.

One more step

and this illusion no longer has a grip on me. 

I AM a free being.

I AM FREE.
