A Little Rhyme ...

by Ingrid Prohaska


I spent some time
in a little rhyme
it's not a secret
just written by Ingrid

about a flowing river
and a light shining silver
about a colorful meadow
and a being with shadow

about a day of living
between Christmas and Thanksgiving
about thoughts on a mind
a pair of eyes sometimes blind

about hundreds of gifts
and a life in shifts
about a breath after all
and the rediscovery of a goal

the cook is very wise my dear
and far beyond every fear
shadows are sometimes very near
but I refuse to disappear

want to be in my own light
need a lot of energy for this fight
I know there is a way for me
with my own tools I'll take it easily

Lightyears Away

by Ingrid Prohaska

"Falling Stars" Mihaly Zichy
Sometimes I wonder
why a person like me
can be so sad.

And then I wonder
why people hurt each other
and why they hurt me.

People,
once very close
and still they are
deeply connected
in a certain way.

Near me
but unfortunately
lightyears away.

Helix

by Ingrid Prohaska
"Jacob's Ladder" William Blake

I see myself
moving on a helix
from the bottom to the top

Unfinished matters
I meet
again and again
just seen with more distance

I guess that's the plot.

Recreation

by Ingrid Prohaska


... and with a smirk
he ran a knife into her dream.

"Ulysses' Dream" Nicolae Vermont
Her images flew out of their frame
drop by drop
they fell to the ground
to build an unformed puddle
abstracted
still undefined
not yet comprehensible
just to be felt
colorful
powerful
and strong enough
to be a recreated lodestar in her life.
