The Last Walk XII – Under the Radar

I’ve been there once again
tried to recall all things said
only the path was the same
everything else has changed

I ‘ve been there but nobody knew
I was really trying to start anew
but the memory forced me in a state of bliss
next to my best friend who I dearly miss

Another walk down the memory lane
perhaps is what still keeps me sane
the memory of the last walk in my mind
remains deeper inside than any other kind

I ‘m forcing it all to come to surface
this day is all about going back to our base
the struggle may be obvious indeed
but remembering it all has become a need

It has nothing to do with the last walk
the plan, the action, the point of the talk
it’s been twelve years and I miss you friend
the plan still lives on, it will never end

What are you afraid of?

Everything is moving fast these days
everybody leaves and nobody stays
abandoned in a miserable lonely state
wondering if I should accept my fate

Loneliness is not in fact the bad part
especially when you have a lonely heart
it gets worse when the writer’s block hits
and that’s when you really get the chills

Becoming familiar with the new rate of change
I admit at first it feels a little bit strange
are we actually getting somewhere better
or are we spinning around the same centre?

There’s always a question of why in all this
people are getting softer and nobody speaks
should you raise your hand or speak up right now
should you remain silent and avoid it somehow

That life that you seek is what you call salvation
at least that’s what you ‘re after without hesitation
let’s raise a glass or two for a life with no trade off
and the question now becomes “what are you afraid of?”

We Created Life

So much going on right now
I can’t believe it, I have to say “wow”
no matter how frightening this can be
it’s excitingly beautiful to say the least

Expected it or not I don’t know
planted, but who knew it would grow
felt great once and passed my mind
I really thought we created life

Still too early and cannot say much
time will tell and people will judge
we keep things the way we want to
this is the hard and fun part of improptu

Let’s see how we handle this and how it goes
where do we get from here nobody knows
we are at the root of something that is alive
the name “X” is on the table but will it thrive?

I Choose Not To…

An opportunity has appeared
but I decided to not even try
as bad as it may sound or look
only I, can understand why

It’s one thing moving forward
it’s another enslaving myself
to what others call “better life”
I will remain on the same shelf

The reason is quite simple now
yet it is hard to be understood
I know myself and it’s too early
I ‘m not ready for the shoot

When will I be ready? you ask
when is it the right time then?
I know me, I like to take my time
hopefully not too late by then

People seem surprised at first
people seem to undermine me
the sacrifice is not worth it
and I see no benefitting me

In a “better life” where I lose me
I choose not to dive in

The Last Walk XI – Calm as you Are

Eleven years since then
not going to forget
friends now everywhere
calm as you were

Last walk back in my mind
it took a break for a while
felt like something missing
a busy day’s boring meeting

A very calm yet cold day
it ends with a concert yay
the plan of that day in the past
is still alive and it will last

The promise made long ago
still has a long way to go
a solid well thought idea
that has evolved year by year

I should go now and begin
what the last walk got us in
calm as you were back then
calm as you are now my friend

The Way Forward

Words have no meaning
when people do not understand them
same as a bird in the evening
making noises above them

It took years of hard work
making it difficult to change
if you don’t like it just don’t
listen to it and turn the page

Of all the languages we speak
there’s one that has no sound
but without it how do you think?
how do your thoughts form or come out loud?

Fundamental questions on the rise
no time to think about them now
make me see with your own eyes
the best way forward somehow

The Calm before the Storm

I don’t know if a storm is coming
but things lately have been relatively calm
it feels weird for some reason
yet inspiration has started to come back

The usual worry of our times
never be stress free or something is wrong
it’s not just me I know it though
I’m back in the mood for writing a song

A song about hyper productivity
never rest, always keep trying for the best
run things concurrently
be ready when it’s time for the ultimate test

Somebody told me today
get some rest before you get tired
it’s the key to consistency
though self discipline also required

We ‘ve reached a level where
if things are going well we get worried
if things are bad is normal
maybe a post trauma of the virus Covid

Maybe a storm is not coming
maybe I should enjoy being calm for days
and I should write that song
that will speak of our times’ tales

Excited & Stressed

This all goes backwards just to be clear
life though still starts with a tear
continuous uncertainty triggers fear
now nothing is really enough dear

Quick and dirty tricks had no trust
back then the way to make it fast
happiness does not seem to last
the way it used to be in the past

Slowly moving on but still willing to try
there is no right or wrong just getting by
like pretty much every other point in life
excited and stressed at the same time

Last Walk: X

It’s heavy when you realise how much time has passed
things are not getting easier yet this is still a must
we are all part of this and eventually going to turn to dust
the memory deep inside the mind recalls that walk

It’s already a decade since then and it’s still strong
I ‘ve gone through a lot lately but it’s still in there
all the conversations, the plans, of course, the dare
come to think of it, that walk wasn’t after all that long

The music in my head today comes from back then
the immortality of music, the high hopes, the dream
the only thing compromised is indeed my self esteem
but a decade later I ‘m happy to remember that walk, the last walk: ten
