Summer

Summer sets sail,
sun and sunshine prevail.
Harbour good-bye,
gold ‘s in the sky.
Breezes blow well,
spinnakers swell -
every wind‘s friend am I.

Föhnstimmung

In der Silberschmiede
des Windes
schmilzt der See
und glänzt sich aus.
Da glänze ich wortlos 
mich ein.

Foehn Mood

This is what happens many a day.
At a sudden it's warm
in a very strange way.
The air is clear.
The mountains seem near.
The lake shines like a melting pot.
Glittering shivering  burning hot.

A prince and a princess.
An access. An excess.
From long ago and recently told.
Love is madness.
A fancy. A frenzy.
Water is silver and gold.
