knitting and running

our lives are so beautifully fragile
some days i feel like
i am just a little dry leaf hovering along
the Autumn's thin air
coming down a big tree
to pose on the grass
or the floor

it is a mysterious awareness, this freedom
fearful might be sometimes
but blissful while comprehending
one breaths, in and then out
alive

your life could just end like that!
in a click
or a clack!
or…
out of a miracle
full of love and surprise
in a second
your fortune
can smile wide

life, owns quest of time

and i, now & then...
just because
run at nights
and
if the knees say yes!
i go fast fast fast!!!
natural seratonin
kicks in and...
then some imaginary air
sounds of velocity
move my hair
that caresses my back
a subtle trance

i ran now & then
lately
and then the knitting season
had also a come-back



i seem attracted
to mind-numbing activities
repetitive
peace induced?
maybe it is just the full moon
or das Herbst
or all of them
together (pause)
at once (pause)
buenas noches (pause)
y good-bye (ending sound)

knitting bere bere... that's a weird hobbie you have there... don't tell me you knit in a rocking chair, huh? if you do, at least, you have, better said, you must knit psychedelic sweaters and scarfs... trash any brownish yarn from your basket, please...

and I agree totally on the fragility of life... it can certainly be an ephemeral experience, so the sooner this is realized and the stronger it's everyday presence is, the better for us to make a meaningful existence...
