Cultural Crossroads

 nowhere to go

 no sign, no word

 memories pass by

 without a clue

 hopes become mountains

 impossible to conquer

 dreams become nightmares

 wandering through the dark

 freedom is the price to pay

 when getting lost at cultural crossroads

Summer with Siddhartha

my endless search

day in, day out

I look for something special

peace I found and grief and joy

I walked with you

ten summer days

through fields of golden flowers

on dusty roads and rocky shores

you taught me how to dance and dream

but love you did not know too well

I am getting restless, tired, old

and searching still goes on and on

prepares my soul for freedom
