For eons humans have been asking themselves, what am I doing here? What is my purpose? What is the purpose of life? Where did I come from? Where am I going to? They’ve asked their gods, their prophets, the stars. They’ve asked the oracle at Delphi.

You may have your own questions.

Well I don’t have the answers. All I know is that life is a journey and we don’t always know where it leads and if and how we get to pave the way.

I wrote this poem about ten years ago and it still seems to fit my life today. I hope you’ll enjoy it (as much as I do) 😊

My Road
June 1999

Beyond the Blue Mountains,
Beyond the fluffy clouds,
I’ve walked this road
from morning to dusk.

I didn’t know where to –
I am going.
Neither where  from –
I arrived.
Am I looking for something?
Or trying to hide?

Beyond the different borders
and the changing crowds.
I was walking this road
from morning to dusk.
Is it who? I am looking for?
Is it my other half…

I am walking this road
from morning to dusk.
Beyond the big, blue mountains,
Between the fluffy, white clouds.

Was it me I was looking for?
Was it finding my past?
And I couldn’t remember
why I  started this path.

I have mountain to climb more
and rivers to cross.
I have bridges to walk through
and drinks to toss.

There are people I’ve promised
to meet on the way.
There are lessons to learn here
and attention to pay.

Am I trying to remember
or maybe to unmask.
Why I am walking this road
from morning to dusk…
