Mindsteps in the shifting sands of language
ending abruptly. At bleached skeletons -
memories, under the blinding past
radiating from the white eye of time.
Newborn thoughts - chaseing, laughing
stepping, falling - new bones, reaching
for that shimmering mirage, the wishing well
of life. Millions of coins sinking, turning -
flashes of birth/death, joy/pain ...
A bucket of present, with inscription
"stirb und werde" - to not be, thus to be
drink here and now, rest
in the oasis of love, enjoy
your present.

allan - a dali painting, inspired by :
"Und so lang du das nicht hast,
"Dieses: stirb und werde,
"Bist du nur ein trüber Gast
"Auf der dunklen erde.
- Goethe

e-lo Clare ! - Here we go (fast & rough :)
"And as long as you haven't got it,
"This : die and be(come),
"You will remain nothing but a sad guest
"On this dark earth
