Find the strength

 

Hope follows me wherever I go, 

but sometimes I can’t see it.

 Is it hiding?
Or am I moving too fast?

Remember who you are.
Everything is veiled by the interpretation of the mind, 

but I am strong,
I am strong enough to see through it.
Still, the mind sucks me in when I least expect it.
I feel totally helpless,
but I AM strong enough to resist.
I just have to find the strength,
I know it’s here somewhere,
Why is it hiding from me
when I need it the most?

I’m here holding your hand

Was it I, who walked this path before, 

or was it someone else?
In my mind there is no one, 

no one will search for awakening anymore. 

Do you think no one will find it?
I’m no one, I’m nothing,
I’m everything.

Farewell, my friend,

I’m here holding your hand,
 but I’m leaving.
 I’m going home.

I have overstayed my visit a long time ago. 
Now it’s time to let go,

time to move on, 
or not move at all. 
You’re the one moving, 
moving away from me. 
I’m here, 
I’m still. 
I’m not moving.

I’m here holding your hand saying goodbye, 
as I see you vanish around the corner. 
You’re still holding on to me,

or am I holding on to you? 
It’s time to let go. 
It’s time to go.

1st of Advent

The wanderer is waking up,

the journey has come to a stop.

No more searching,

the wanderer has woken up.

She woke up in my arms 

and now we are one.

Sailing through the night sky, 

looking for you.

Are you still dreaming, 

or are you awake, awake to reality, 

awake to the truth?

Sail with me, through the sky, 

till we reach the end of time. 

We are going nowhere, 

and it’s a beautiful journey.
