Le habitat nouveaux

 

Le habitat nouveaux

heet de bewoners welkom

in hun nieuwe habitat

de kikkers kicken op elkaar

en hun ge update vijver

bijen, hommels en vlinders

brengen hun vruchtbaarheid

mee naar dit lustoord

partnerruil is ook hen niet vreemd

zij bestuiven de bloemen

maar ook zichzelf onderling

niemand weet

wat er in de babykamers wordt gevormd

dat kan zomaar een gekruiste bijenwesp zijn

die een eigen orde wil stichten

levensgevaarlijk

zo'n terrorist in de bijenkorf

waar de elite in weelde leeft

insecten, bladluizen etc. 

zijn onontbeerlijk in de aanvang 

van een nieuw ecosysteem

de plaatselijke kater

zorgt voor het broodnodige evenwicht

in dit maagdelijk stukje natuur

het is eten of gegeten worden

met deze inbreng is het succes verzekerd

in Le habitat nouveaux

Time the wilderness

 

where are we

we are away from the distance we travelled in

and yes, we have reached our place of choosing

and yes, something is wrong...our future...its gone

we are stuck in the middle of time

and time, as always, has a mind of its own

it won't move, it won't move aside

so...do we know where to go

is it out there will we recognise it

when we come to that wilderness, time is

where our future lies, will we know

and yes, again we are on the road

walking through time

walking along its guiding light

we are out there with a purpose

we are out there with a goal

we are walking the road

where our fame and glory is waiting

but will it be our future when we reach it

will it be waiting

In the attick

a world of its own
a world to own
a world of tales
a generation of play
in the attick

I'm there takin' a share
in the mysteries that came
over me
I 'm almost in retreat

I open up a book
a life is uncovered
from long before
showin' youth
once more
In the attick

I feel young
I feel ten again
good times there
don't feel age
in the attick

so I leaf
through the books
see the toys
dream a little
in the attick

memories a pleasure
sometimes a treasure
sometimes worse
when you were hurt
or more

It was a life
that lived
come to see it
as a gift
in the attick

Wear it well

collecting things
throughout my life
tires me so
I'll leave you tomorrow
collecting one ev'ry day
is why I give them away

They give me
all the challenge I need
working the roads
collecting one ev'ry day
I know you'll wear it well

tomorrow a dry bell
poppin' in the wind
jumpin' the gun
when I fall
must slowdown again
stop playin' the game
start givin' tommorows
away

I must
I'm a prime suspect
I'm losing trust
they're just an inch away
at knowing I collect tomorrows
ev'ry day

collecting things
throughout my life
I'll  leave you tomorrow
wear it well without a lie
