self protection
Like a lost, rusty bicycle without a soul, and you decide to continue on foot alone.What you leave behind grows smaller over time. © E n i s ∞ r song: Mercy Street – Elbow It is usually our shortcomings that we embrace because they are easier to accept.

the late bloomers
Timid, cautious, and somewhat shy,we let the quiet years pass by.Not because there is no other way,but ripening demands a longer stay. We are the late bloomers in a field,where early flowers have had their yield.Among the withered forget-me-nots,stand blushing Marys and quiet Scotts. In a world grown brittle, dry, and old,their vibrant colors yet

sea of light
I sway along in a wave of light,bending like reeds.I breathe, I shine—it is not the sun that guides me. It is my world that confines me,quiet and unseen,more oftenthan I allow myself to shine. © E n i s ∞ r song: Deadman’s Ballad – Steve Jansen (feat. David Sylvian & Joan Wasser)

nostalgia
My past has begun to resemble a musty thrift store.And if you read between the lines,The melancholy and fading glory are easy to find.There’s always something marked by it—It is yellowed paper that was once shining white. © E n i s ∞ r song: Nostalgia – David Sylvian

portal
Requiem Under the wide and starry sky, Dig the grave and let me lie.Glad did I live and gladly die, And I laid me down with a will. This be the verse you grave for me: Here he lies where he longed to be;Home is the sailor, home from sea, And the hunter home from the hill. poem by:

unscrew the lid
When I was a child, I believed you could catch the moon.Just in a small jar, with the lid screwed on tight.Maybe I could keep her there,and finally see the side that always remained hidden. I wondered:if I gently shook the jar,would she shine more brightly? Now I know that isn’t possible.Some things cannot be

rival
It lies in the enchantment and the allure of what will be — a possible, ideally ultimate relationship. It takes possession of all my thoughts, deprives me of progress in all my creative processes because it is not mine; it is the rival of my own being. © E n i s ∞ r song:

sea level up
The sea gives, the sea takes.A pit full of wateris the land where I live. © E n i s ∞ r song: Bed Across the Sea – Jesca Hoop As water flows gently, so music carries us — notes that sway like waves, in which the soul learns to drift and finds comfort in

fish nor bone
It is always windless in the chill,where my smoke bothers no one.The horizon grey,and only the shrieking of seagullstrying to disturb my thoughts.It is neither fish nor bone. © E n i s ∞ r song: Retrace – Luscine I recently stumbled upon a beautiful word: reputation.The invisible value that shapes how we are seen

every
Every city, every stone a history.Every glass a story.Every soul, a coming and going.Every ‘outside’ is only a window. © E n i s ∞ r song: Everybody Daylight – Brightblack Morning Light The world is made up of layers of stories, but we always experience it from a limited, personal perspective, while everything is

thin out
The fleeing impatience, like a nagging vibration, and the unrelenting discontent—the ruler of a space too small for both. © E n i s ∞ r song: The Thin Wall – Ultravox

wolfmoon
What it saw was more of a rhythm—moonbeams between branch and wind.A leaf drifts across the cold January ground,passing through frozen tear-moisture. Wat het zag was meer een ritmemaanstralen tussen tak en wind.Een blad dwarrel op koude Januari grond,tussen bevroren traanvocht door. © E n i s ∞ r song: Been Undone – Peter Gabriel

I may
The past few years were a smoking wheelie, carving a circular tire mark into the road of my life. And now—full throttle ahead. © E n i s ∞ r song: Synchronicity I – The Police

blackbird
Today a blackbird hopped about in the garden.A new phase of life has begun; a new song may be shaped.The blackbird snapped up a fat worm, looked at me briefly for approval,and then departed through the air, into the future. © E n i s ∞ r song: Blackbird – The Beatles
