Samsara

I never thought it would be so hard to live with certain things in life
I never thought I could fail in anything at all
I was never prepared for the downs
I guess I will accept anything from now on
After all this I’ve ended up being grateful
for anyone and anything around me
Oh how blue-eyed I’ve been
A spoilt girl
Only child
I have felt
So much love
How much is too much
When in the end
All we’ve got
Is love?
I want to return it somehow
But I don’t quite know how
Yet

my greatest wish right now
is just to be able to
lie down
with you
talk the day into night
talk until black is white
while lying down
with you
these simple pleasures of life
are ungraspable for me
sometimes
the normal and mundane
is something I long for
sometimes
because once I told myself
I mustn’t rest
before I’ve checked my lists
been best
and my pink notebook
is still haunting me
even in my dreams
since I was 12 and I wrote down
the steps to success
how to be the best
and fuck the rest
decades later
I want my freedom back

I could never love you
like you would’ve wanted me to
I could never love you
like you all expected me to
I could never care for you
like you would’ve wanted me to
and the care I got from you
was not the kind of care I needed
from you
I think they call it
different languages of love
I thought I were hard to love
they said I were cold and careless
but I cannot fake the care
that they were expecting me to give
But now I’m with You –
and I feel accepted
and I feel loved
a therapist would say
we share the same
language of love.

Embrace

I don’t know where the road goes
I don’t care anymore
I don’t know where the wind blows
I don’t care anymore
Like days that come and go
Like rain that turns into snow
Like rivers that still flow
I don’t harvest what I sow
so I let go of the things beyond my control
Before I get a heart attack
At 31
Whether you’re high or low
The days still come and go
Whether you’re friend or foe
The night still takes you
Eternally
Even unmercifully it might seem until
It caresses my cheek
embraces me
just because I embraced it

udu seest paistavad hiirekõrvad
mai alguse erksus pimestab
ma ei ole keegi
et sulle öelda
mis on õige
nagu ma ka ei ütle udule
millal tulla
kuidas olla
kuhu minna
kuidas tulla
nagu ma ka ei ütle päevale,
et ta on eksitus
ega vihmale, et tahaks päikest
kõik on
ka sina ja mina

millegipärast see soe õhtupäike
ja naabrite jutuajamine
ja muld mu sõrmeküünte all
tekitab sellise tunde,
et polegi vaja enam kuskile minna
et olen alati just siin
istunud
kissitanud
higistanud
kuldnokkade kädinat kuulanud

under the same sun

under the same March sun
some are born anew
some are ripped to pieces
some enlightened
some find the sun blinding
while others get killed
some are saved
some feast
some starve
some love
some hate
some laugh
some cry
some hope
under the same old sun
and while this is all going on
I am one of the lucky ones
sitting on my balcony
surrounded by birdsong
children’s laughter
the Sunday murmur of the city below
and I sit
eating an orange
what a fragile yet
strangely balanced world
under the same old sun
still trusting the spring, though
it will always come
be it with or without
us all
under the same March sun

Vinden viner

solen är nere
allting är rosa
en koltrast
sjunger sin visa
en bit av dig står kvar
där vinden viner
vinder viner
hundraochfemtio år
var för ungt för dig
må du finna ro
bortom denna jord
så småningom tystnar allt
som människan rör vid
bara vindar som viner
över kala landskap
viner
men tystar inte vi oss själva snart med?
jag hoppas nästan det ibland
hundraochfemtio år
var för ungt för dig
må du finna ro
bortom denna jord
solen är nere
allting är rosa
skogen är nere
och vi med

avatud me kõigi uksed
tuleb vaid katsuda linki
ning siis leida see julgus
et astuda
üle läve tundmatusesse
ja siis avastada
et see tundmatus hoopis
kodune ja soe
me kõik kulgeme
sel teel
vooluga kandume
ses jões
võrdsetena ujume
kõiksuses

Känn så nära Verkligheten bor.
Hon andas här intill
i kvällar utan vind.
Hon kanske visar sig när ingen tror.
Solen glider över gräs och häll.
I hennes tysta lek
är livets ande gömd.
Så nära var han aldrig som i kväll.
Jag har mött en främmande, som teg.
Om jag räckt ut min hand,
jag snuddat vid hans själ,
när vi gick om varann med skygga steg.
