SEARCHED, FOUND (9)

Search without effort

 

Never felt like I had to look for it.

It always knew how to find me. Effortlessly.

Melancholy.

Always everywhere. In little corners and in big ways.

Longing for what was not and missing what could be.

Ever present.

In the whisper of dusk and in the silence around a sigh.

The smell of water. The taste of air.

In the warmth behind double glazing, in the length of roads.

Noise in the bushes. The rhythm of the rain.

In the life in a tune.

A soft shadow, never untraceable.

Yet we go in search.

For the source of melancholy.

The source of the stream that floats restlessly.

The source of the thirst that makes us dream.

Perhaps because those who seek are less lost.

GEZOCHT, GEVONDEN (9)

Moeiteloos zoeken

 

Nooit het gevoel gehad dat ik er naar moest zoeken.

Het wist mij altijd te vinden. Moeiteloos.

Melancholie.

Altijd overal. In kleine hoekjes en in grote lijnen.

Verlangen naar wat niet was en gemis van wat zou kunnen.

Immer aanwezig.

In het fluisteren van de schemer en in de stilte rond een zucht.

De geur van water. De smaak van lucht.

In de warmte achter dubbel glas, in de lengte van wegen.

Geruis in het struikgewas. Het ritme van de regen.

In het leven in een lied.

Een zachte schaduw, nooit onvindbaar.

Toch gaan we op zoek.

Naar de bron van de melancholie.

De bron van de stroom die onrustig doet dobberen.

De bron van de dorst die doet dromen.

Misschien omdat wie zoekt minder verloren loopt.
