She's Gone

She's gone
She is gone
She's gone

And while she's gone, gone away
I'll keep waiting for her to come back home

I'm asking myself what I did wrong
While she's gone, always gone
And I don't know what she's doing
All the time when she's gone

She knows the darkness to recognize the light
While I'm waiting, I keep on waiting for her to come back home

She's gone
She is gone
She's gone

Lord what have I done wrong?

I'm staying out of trouble and taking care of my own
While she's gone, gone away
And I'm waiting for her to come back home

She sees the light to know the darkness
While I'm wondering what I did wrong

I'm drinking too much coffee
And my heart is beating like a drum
Because she's gone

She is gone
She's gone
Lord, she is gone

I will spread the word that she's gone
Until she comes back home

She turns the darkness into light
And I keep on asking what I did wrong
While staying out of trouble and taking care of my own

She's gone
She is gone
She's gone
Lord, she is gone

DJ'16 (inspired by a poem from Seppe Smeulders)

Zonder Neer Te Pennen (onthouden we niks)

Zonder neer te pennen, onthouden we niks (x3)

Hey!
Takin' it easy..

Zonder neer te pennen, onthouden we niks (x3)

Tot nader order..
Pennen we niks!

Zonder neer te pennen, onthouden we niks (x3)

Wijsheid is de boodschap
Van de inkt, die vloeit op het papier

Zonder neer te pennen, onthouden we niks (x3)

Ik voel het gemis
Van de kleurstof van mijn hart..

Zonder neer te pennen, onthouden we niks (x3)

Uit de inkt die niet ophoudt
Te vloeien uit mijn pen..

Zonder neer te pennen, onthouden we niks (x3)

You're On My Mind

Baby, I'm yours, baby
Forever, baby

'Cause you're on my mind
All of the time!

You're on my mind
All of the time

Baby, always baby
Anywhere baby
They are on my mind
All of the time

And I can do nothing else
Than to love them all
And I can do nothing else
Than to love you all
And I can do nothing else
Than to love you

Baby, I'm yours, sweet baby
Forever, my baby

'Cause you're on my mind
All of the time!

You're on my mind
All of the time

Anyhow baby
They are on my mind
Always all the time
They are on my mind
All of the time

And I can do nothing else
Than to love them all
And I can do nothing else
Than to love you all
And I can do nothing else
Than to love you

'Cause you're my sweet baby!
All of the time
You are on my mind

Song for Seppe and Oonah.

Be Happy My Love

Be happy my love
I will be yours for eternity
For ever and ever

The ring is wrapped around my finger
And the inner signs show the real truth
A door that opens to a new home
A new beginning

I turn them 'round and 'round
But the outcome is still the same
I'm yours for eternity

From you to eternity
And back..

The further one travels, the less one knows
It's a revolution of the inner soul

Life is pain when thinking of losing you..

Is it a bad thing if something happens
That tears two souls apart
Into a world of perfection?

Abraham takes his hat off
In the oak of wisdom

It was a rainy day today
And Johnny said the house was beautful

Behold without looking
See all without seeing

Abraham's Oak Tree

Born by the river
Born 2500 years ago
Born by the side of the river
Where the waters run
In different flows
Following the path of the river
In meandering directions
Born in Titans methane water
Born 2500 years ago
By the heated hills of Mercury
All rusted on their edges
Ad warm at the bottom
Born by that river
Born 2500 years ago
By the side of that river
Where the islands float
On their bubbles
Of distant dreams..
Born under Europa's crust
Born 2500 years ago
In the cold ocean
Under the ice
I was born 2500 years ago
Oh yes!
I was born at that river
I was born 2500 years ago

Koude Draak

De koude draak
Hij ziet mij niet
En ik ben naakt

De koude draak
Hij hoort mij niet
en ik praat

Ik praat over
Wat ons aangaat

Maar ik laat hem koud
Die koude draak
En ik krijg hem niet warm!

Niet met naakt
Niet met gepraat
Niet met geroep!
Niet met getier!!

De koude draak blijft koud hier
hij doet me geen plezier
Blijft koud en stram
En laat alles van zich afglijden
Als water over een eend

Komt er dan een dag
Dat ik de draak verlaat?

Komt er dan een dag
Dat ik lacht in zijn gelaat?

De koude draak maakt een geluid
Een geluid waar ik van hou
Het is het geluid van de kou

en de komende dagen
Za ik niets meer vragen

Dag koude draak
Dag koude draak
Dag koude draak

Lyrics by Seppe Smeulders (2010)

How many years
Can a mountain exist
Before it's washed to the sea
How many years can a people exist
Before they are allowed to be free
How many times can a man turn his head
And pretend he just doesn't see
The answer my friend is blowing in the wind
The answer is blowing in the wind
Bob Dylan, quoted from memory. My audio cassette player where it is sang by Joan Baez does not work anymore.Sigh!

A month, ago, a lady-friend (married, w/three sons), dropped by the local
coffee-house. Knowing her to be fighting cancer that had spread throughout
her body, and knowing that she was trying the last approach the doctors
had available -- and, knowing her for a long time, so I could ask her a
very personal question, I did so:

"Michelle, how does it feel to be facing eternity?"

Her reply: "Jim, we're all facing eternity."

A joyful end: The last approach towards a cure worked, and she was at
least 90% free. Fingers crossed.

How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man?
Yes,'n' how many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes,'n' how many times must the cannon balls fly
Before they are forever banned?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind.
The answer is blowin' in the wind.
How many years can a mountain exist
Before it's washed to the sea?
Yes,'n' how many years can some people exist
Before they are allowed to be free?
Ye,'n' how many times can a man turn his head
Pretending he just doesn't see?
The answer,my friend, is blowin' in the wind.
The answer is blowin' in the wind.
How many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky?
Yes,'n' how many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry?
Yes,'n' how many deaths will it take till he knows
That too many people have died?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind.

Our Concern


Concern, for others --
chatter, in our heads.

When will our concern cease?
When the chatter stops.

When chatter's particles
turn to dust.

When all that remains,
is love.

You Make Me Feel

Where I want to be is..
With you

I trouble everything too soon.

Where I want to be is..
Zaïre, where brave and happy people
Are where they want to be.

Home, that's up the skies
And down below.

Wherever everybody goes,
Liberated from the smoke of the earth.

You're painting on my ear,
The beautiful wing of a butterfly,
Taking Mother Nature for a flower.

Smoking a cigarette, is what I do best,
Next to the coneflowers,
Where the butterfly gently touches
The smallest leaf.

Wake me up before I sleep,
The black is the black,
Like the ashes in my ashtray.

There's nothing in my way
to lay by your side,
Except for a fly, telling me
An angel is gonna fall on my head.

He's gone now..

And the music started all over again..

I've been loving you a long time.
No more reason to get lost
In the smoke of the earth.

You make me feel
You make me feel

You're my inspiration.

Choices

The choice of
Not being able to choose..

Keep on following the crowd
That is moving the right direction.

Getting somewhere, a place
Where choices can be made.

Follow your heart,
The mind will follow you.

Small or big, rightful or wrong,
The soul is unable to lie
And I am looking the cat out of the tree..

LOOK OUT!

Pure love couldn't help him..

Choices, moving through the voids
Of the multiverse, stuck upon the shelf.

Don't take what isn't given.

Where are the undefended when they sleep?

The Big Wide Open lies around us
And inside..
Through
Blasting!!

Directing the soul.
Moving the spirit,
Reflecting in the head.

Making choices the soul provides..

The Big Wide Open gives
And our Sun decides.

The Mind Is Free (in the end)

I got you back,
My dearest friend,
My guardian angel..

I can laugh again with stupidities,
Just like in the older days,
When Christ didn't walk beside me..

How can a man ever die
for someone else's sins?

And suffer..

He wasn't strong enough
To see through the web
Of life, we staged
Through the centuries.

He wasn't strong enough
To fight the devil
And died, over and over
And over again.

Once you see the devil's face,
it's hard to get it out of
your memory.

His eyes are burning in your back
Because he doesn't have the courage
to look into your eyes.

The Forefathers are almighty
and see it all, with a little
help from good souls.

They punish the evil and let
The good souls go to heaven,

In the end
In the end
In the end

The mind is free

In the end

That Forgotten Tune

Enjoying the energy..
Tickling eyes, not because
Of sadness but of
Enjoying the silence.

Enjoying positive thinking
(life, let it flow eternally)

Thinking of the cornflake girl,
Right in the corner of my eye,
Helping me to be happy
And not letting me by,
Sitting, watching all I can.

Dark matter, the souls that
Stand by us through our
Journey across the universe,
Play on the BBC radio
That forgotten tune..

As a story unfolds, a young lady's admission, and discovery...


Expose'


And, now we know --
the cause of
my varying desire
for closeness with you,
and then,
distance.

What will happen, next?
I don't know.
But, let's still drink coffee together.
Let's still be friends.

Humpty Trumpty


Humpty Trumpty
sat on a wall.

Humpty Trumpty
had a great fall.

All the king's horses,
and
all the king's men,

Couldn't put
Humpty Trumpty
together, again.

Turn And Face The Light

Extinguished by night,
I turn on the light
And we all stand together

Soul II soul
Heart II heart
Spine II spine
Mind II mind
Hand II hand

Staring straight into the shining Sun
Heading straight towards the fields of Love

Straight to you
Straight to the light

Josie sat in front of me,
Listening to hip hop music,
Telling me her life would be okay

They found her the next day,
Her life was okay
The light had been extinguished
And we all stood together

Ashes II ashes
Dust II dust
Past II past
Future II future
Fate II fate

And we all stand together

We Will Be

Sometimes words don't come easily,
They get stuck in the mind
And don't find any place to go

Try breathing and receiving
The wisdom of the elders, one said

The words will flow and reach
The souls who are willing to listen,
Words we can only find
In our dreams of white

It matters a lot
It matters to the Universe
It matters to us

Sometimes feelings find us
Where words have left the stage
And leave the public numb

Feel with me, said one,
The Love that the elders offer

Feel with me, the inner signs
That guide us to that Love

The feelings will travel and find
The souls who are willing to help us
Evolve towards the right direction

It matters a lot
It matters to the Universe
It matters to us

And to our future..

Our future, we have to build
With the right words and feelings

Our future, that can make us proud
Of who we are and who we will be

Hard work, for many souls

And..

We will get there
We will succeed
We will be
We will be
