Possessed By Life

September 23, 2013 | 1 min read

I am possessed by life and I can’t deny
I won't deny time or the flow between the  banks, Sun, which has entered my veins
I won’t deny time or the flow between the banks,
Sun, which has entered my veins

I am possessed
I won’t deny time
or the flow between the banks,
Sun, which has entered my veins
Colours which sprout are not in vain
I am possessed by life and I can’t deny.

The weaver wove it and
placed it on the wind

to feed my senses and
unlock the rusty doors
there is not much I can do
for the hour glass has been broken on a beach
neither the time is mine nor the sand
for I am possessed by life.

I experience freedom
For I am not bound anymore
Just a man possessed
Not by an idea but by life.
