- Blue Saltwater -

Out of blush, the sail is lifted by the sunset
                               On an icy fjord one winter day
                                  Hope for a bright lantern
                                that lets you safely through
                                  The coast is full of islets,
                                rocks and dangerous waters

                        What happens in between - it happens
                        Self examination, changes and choices
                   Standing in front of a challenge, a crossroads
                                     A misty landscape
                              - how important can that be?

                       Blacklacquered nails navigate the situation
                                   Frustration destroys calm
                              - becomes restless and irritated
                                 Grasp unanswered questions
                       through generations, lives and experiences

                                 There was no planned process
                               A giant step in the right direction
                                 in rugged and unclear terrain
