The hole

I start digging myself a hole.
I want to stop but I go on and on.
Now I look for a invisible wet ladder;
I start climbing but I do not get anywhere. 
Deeper and deeper I go.
Now it rains, then a blizzard.  More bricks as I reach out.
cement falls, but still I fight With every bit of strength I have left.
No energy, no belief;
Maybe someone will walk by and stop me.

A August morning

The heat!  I can fry an egg on a path in Turkey  On an August morning.  The warmth of a fire on a cold, bleak day; The feeling as I soak up Vitamin D.  The memory of the bath is soothing.  With a weeping willow all is joy.  I remember the colour of the everlasting sand.  On my finger a snowflake crystallises, Particles of mass shine down upon me.  A dry fire of ash.  Now life begins -  A path of ice is a faultless cover on a pond.  A Polar Bear wanders in starvation.  With a spring in my step I ride the globe of life.

The key

The room is only dark If you never look forward past the emptiness And search for your light.  Within a journey maybe long To dig through the tunnel To reach the door.

We forge a fearless tunnel; Steel to The Lord. A bitter taste of madness.  Communication is useless.  Race to the horizon.  The mosaic chapter of the adventures of 1911.  An unforgivable landscape Of the endless sea base.  Dream; first ticket of the four Only the courageous seek.  Beautif...
