Paradise Express

I have heard of a place that's not on maps;
A place where there's no room for lies;
Where mornings and nights never make the kiss,
Where every form of life is able, is wise.

Where you'll find only faces and never a mask;
Where curiosity is never afraid to think and ask;
Where the one true religion has always been love;
Where the endless sky is always blue above;
Where the birds never know the fatigue of flight;
Where the nights stand dauntless in the stars' light;
Where no child is killed before even she's born;
Where no heart is broken and no skin torn;
Where nobody knows the art of building a wall;
Where there is always a hand when you fall;
Where lilies dance with a newfound zest;
Where crows and doves share the same nest;
Where the river quenches the thirst of all;
Where a horse runs free and is never in a stall;
Where the moon's always shy and the sun bright;
Where you'll never have to fight for what's right;
Where benevolence is, by all, considered divine;
Where dreams and fears are separated by a line;
Where every empty soul always gets fed;
Where there's always a smile after every tear's shed.

I have heard of this place, and of a train that runs
Through its heart; and I can hear the summons;
And since it's dark, my end drawing nigh,
I would love to be there,and I would love to fly.

The Time Machine

As I face the small time machine And the wires cuddling each other Like sinners in love, I find my answer. 'Go back and save yourself', they say; 'Go back and this time get your girl' 'You can undo your bicycle accident' 'Why don't you edit your career now?' 'You can correct every error you've ever made' 'You now know what you shouldn't have done' 'Why don't you stop yourself from going To that coffee shop on the 18th of May?' 'Go back and post that letter a little earlier' 'Don't forget to slap that sick professor' 'Go back and tell your friend the truth About her husband, without any fear' They all want me to erase All the wrong footprints on The sands of time, and they want To have a better life, A corrected, proofread life, Using my little machine; But will I be the same person Once my mistakes get undone? I press the key, turn the dial And find myself befo...

The Story Of a Storyteller

"Once upon a time", began the blind old man "There was a sea as endless as time; and It reeked of stories of survival and death, But none could wait to watch the waves break. A sailor lived once, I don't remember his name, Whose skills did put the others' to shame; He'd conquer the sea, they would all shout And the sky would rumble at the scream so loud; That day, and the ones that had shone brighter Will be drawn by a kid and poetised by a writer- A hundred years from now, just a hundred wee years." "One fateful night, the storm wanted to play With the one little boat that struggled to stay Afloat; and the sailor heard his name loud and clear Shooting back from the hungry waves far and near. He kissed his oar, for the last time he could see, And closed his eyes to embrace the open sea. He was found a day later, on a plank, alive, But the rest of the boat was gone, like life. The sailor searched for her, from daybreak till night...

The Exoneration of Heidi Schäfer

In the shadows of a dead city she stood And waited for the sun to go down. Heidi had been a daughter, a wife, a mother, But never Heidi. She watched the remnants of a long forgotten song Lancing towards her from the medallion above And her heart looked for the listener; The one who had listened to all her prayers. "Now that my road has come to its end, Show me where I can wash these stains Off my broken skin," Heidi whispered When she found the listener, Playing his flute under an ageless tree. "You've come a long way, Heidi," he said, "You were too cautious not to fall, Which made you forget that you could fly." Heidi watched the hills falling in love with The abstrusity in the melodies he wove And said, "The hills look like a dream." "Yes, but a dream you chose to bury, Under the weight of your sins," he said. "You have been all, Heidi - You have been a seed, a plant and a tree But you never danced wit...
