1. “Life is a Journey with many expectations and surprises just at about every corner we turn, every road we take,but we cannot stop going, the goal is to get to our Destiny”

2.I realise a person´s destiny is influenced by the inner self.. the passion sitting deep inside a person... the surroundings only help the opportunity to be realised more.... we must meet our dreams to live more fulfilled lives....

Let me dance

Let me dance now,
for this might be
the last chance we have together.
You promised to sing with me all my life,
to walk the road at all times.
You promised to run with me,
but as we walked last to the bus stop
treading our heavy feet on the stony ground
pushing forward with trodden hearts
the bodies so heavy we panted for breath,
uttering no words to each other,
I felt how so difficult it was to part,
to let go and say goodbye.
We were both so afraid to speak,
so full of fear of promises,
let me dance with you now.


I remember the glued hug,
clutching to each other´s bodies
so desparate that we both hurt.
The tears flowed at last,
then the wailing we couldn´t hold back.
Everyone just watched,
but we did not notice them.
The honking of the old bus
brought us back to earth
away from our safe haven,
a hidding place we had found
but for just a few moments.


I saw the small of your back as you got on the bus.
I saw your tiny hand waving me back,
but soon the bus disappeared around the bend,
and you were torn from me.
But I feel the move of our last dance together.
I hear your silent whimpers on my shoulders.
I read your promises to run with me-
in the hot tears that poured on my neck.
I feel your worries, your questions.



A rumbling sound sits in the pit of me,
the empytness soo deep it tears me apart.
No food good enough to fill it up,
no amounts of water fresh enough to take its place.
My arms ache for your feel,
my feet will run to you,
to dance with you again,
to any song and drum beat,
Just to be with you.
Let me dance with you—
before I faint and be blown away.
Let me dance with you again.
