It’s a peculiar feeling
When you leave behind everything you know
And set your sights for new lands
Become a stranger
Different language different customs
But you will find
That in every place
If you keep your eyes and your heart open
You can find fellow travelers
Who may be strangers or may be at home
But who see you
And smile
Because they see something familiar in you
People who will bring you along with them
Until you find your way
Find your home
At least for some time
With the sound of music
Drifting over the cold water
Of the lake under the stars
Beneath Neuchâtel skies.

New Dawn
The sun sets as I begin my journey-
A single step and there’s no going back.
In five years time I’m not sure who I’ll be
Who I’ll miss, What I’ll have, what I’ll lack.
Will I make new friends or new enemies,
Will I lose those I already hold dear?
Will I wake, see the mirror and freeze,
Paralyzed by the reflecting leer?
Will I recognize the man staring back
Or will I lose myself on the way
Or will I find what I now lack
And every one of my demons slay?
Forward into uncertainty, move on.
That’s the only way to go, towards a new dawn.
