Hope

 Nanne Nyander

Rain washes away my tears,
washes away the frustrating feeling of being lost.

-Nanne Nyander

"Hope" by Nanne Nyander

Thoughts are like leaves in the autumn, 

don’t get attached to them,

let them do their dance,

let them do their intriguing dance 

and move on. 

-Nanne Nyander

My soulmate is not some distant lover far away. 

My soulmate is within me and without me, 

being aware of my soul calling out for help, 

not understanding why I’m struggling and crying. 

“I am right here, and so are you,” she says.


I let my guard down and let her in. 

Everything vanishes. 

It’s quiet, peaceful, silent. 

I’m calm, I’m weightless, 

was it all a dream? 

Or is this a dream? 

-Nanne Nyander

Summer Breeze

 Nanne Nyander

**

I’m the music in my ears,

sound, hear, disappear.

I’m the trees I see,

moving, not moving, swaying in the wind.

I’m the touch of invisible hands when I’m drowning, 

grab, stretch, hold.

I’m the scent of jasmine in the summer breeze, 

intoxicating, longing, calming.

I’m the taste of honey,

sweet on the tongue, smooth, happy.

I’m the thought of nothing,

embracing, peaceful, alive.

I’m everything,

life, home, peace.

I’m nothing.

Only Resting

 Nanne Nyander

Only Resting by Nanne Nyander

**

Everything is falling apart,

I’m falling apart.
What I once thought was me is falling apart, 

it doesn’t hold together anymore. 

Random pieces floating around in the universe. 

If I don’t pick them up and build a me, 

I’m nowhere to be found. 

-One Without a Second

**

There is no solid ground,
nowhere to land.
A feeling is just a feeling, without any meaning, 

a sound is just a sound, no meaning.
I am nowhere to be found.
An emotion is just an emotion, no suffering, 

no story, nowhere to land.
Feelings, sound, smell, sight,
it’s all separate without any connecting threads. 

Still, it is all the same.
I’m not even lost,
me does not exist.
If I don’t create an I,
if I don’t create a self out of nothing,
I’m nowhere to be found,
there’s nowhere to land,
nothing to land on,
nothing that can land.
Nothing,
still,
here I am.

Poems from the book:

*

Waiting for the magic to catch up with me, 

waiting for nothing.

Magic is already here, but I can’t see it. 

Hanging on to the self is blinding me, 

blinding me from seeing the magic that I am. 

But, what am I?

I can’t be a me,

I don’t even exist.

I, me, magic, it’s all the same,

an imaginary bubble in the sky. 

-from "One Without a Second"

The one I thought I was is getting blurry. 

She is not as solid as she once was,

or was she ever solid?

I feel like a boat drifting in the dark,

with no light to guide me in the right direction. 

I have no idea where I am,

or where I’m headed.

I’m moving without moving, 

everything moves in slow motion.

I can vaguely make out a thought,

a memory,

a feeling,

but then they’re gone,

just touching me softly when passing by, 

and sometimes not so softly.

I’m here,

but where is here,

and what am I?

-from "One Without a Second"

I need to let go of the one I think I am. 

She’s a beautifully made-up story. 

But still, she’s just a story.

From "One Without a Second"

Love hits me like a hurricane,
without any warning.
A sudden feeling of happiness trying to leave my body, 

leaving to be free,
to be free to move around as a bird in the sky. 

Love has been caged inside this body for so long,
it has forgotten how to sing.
What is a bird if it can’t sing?
Love is happy and free,
never to be caged again. 

From "One Without a Second"

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.

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?
