Manchmal – On Some Days

Manchmal – on some days
Sometimes I miss you, and sometimes I don’t want, that I miss you
Sometimes I miss me, I am searching myself in the dust of my new life
Sometimes I dislike the New and the Old

Sometimes things strike me
I turn around and want to tell you the story from the my magpies
Or share, how much I like the sound of the babbling geese over the river
Oh, I greet the crows every time
Maybe I am greeting you, maybe you are greeting me
Each time is still often

I don’t want to loose memories, like my friend Robin says,
pebbles to put in my pockets, treasures,
words, pictures, thoughts, tastes, chuckles, smells, views
which should remain
but no new story will be added by you

Inevitably new stories are added now,
And I am wrestling with my Alter Ego sitting on the perch
That my life really goes on, not impressed if
I do not want it or if I wish it
The task is still to plunge

(from Jutta)
