Born

poem

Eyes look at you

People

Your parents

You know nothing,

just this moment

and look back

You are full of hunger

You are full of thirst

You are full of life

You are full and then empty

You're getting bigger

You will be you, you think

You experience, learn,

You live, you drive

Away and arrive

Or not

You look into your face

And see nothing more

Until you look behind the mirror:

There is someone there who means you,

there everything is united in you

and you separate yourself from the we

to the self

in your face

like back then

Hunger for life

Thirst for love

Do you satisfy with life, with love,

with word and deed

with you in you

you are your best self,

when everything is silent

and everything seems

-outside is-

except your love

and you

then you are here

with me

and then I thank everything

what I once valued,

assume

and accept

grateful all ways

far from the roads

far from pain

Fortunately

and to love.
