Profoundly Clear

 Nanne Nyander - Poems and Paintings

Profoundly clear, is the silence you speak.

The silence is the way of the infinite to speak to me. 

Can’t you see it?

Can’t you hear it?

Words, words, words, 

misunderstood words, 

different meanings, same words.

Silence speaks louder and clearer

than you can ever communicate.

Silence is not a lack of words,

silence is before words,

behind them,

behind everything,

without silence,

nothing is.

World of Illusion.

 Nanne Nyander - Poems and Paintings

Autumn rain, purifying rain,

let it wash away all illusions,

all doubts from my mind,

and leave only what is true, 

left for me to rest in. 

The truth is obvious 

but hard to recognise, 

when one is lost 

in the tumultuous world of illusion.

-Nanne Nyander "Out of the Labyrinth"

Nothing is Enough

 Nanne Nyander - Poems and Paintings

Show me how to move around in this world 

without feeling hurt,

without feeling overwhelmed. 

Everything is too much, 

and nothing is enough. 

I’m a warrior fighting for survival.

I’m gasping for air,

trying not to suffocate

from all the thoughts and emotions.

I’m being pushed and pulled by the mind.

I turn around and walk away.

I can not stay.

I do not belong.

How can one feel too much 

and yet feel nothing?

-Nanne Nyander "Out of the Labyrinth"
