Enough (BWV 82)
​Never do I come closer 
to believing in a sublime 
force than when I listen
to music, some music
especially Bach.
A sense that somehow
magic has to be involved
and inspired this sound 
that reaches into my soul
squeezes gently, twists it
holds it up against the light
connects me with the reasons 
for being alive 
when she sings -
when she sings that
she has enough. 

But it seems to me that we 
are enough we humans -
​more than, in fact. 
From altruism to atrocity
from ability to create beauty
to care, connect and cause
catastrophe.
Why look up for more and 
higher powers than the ones
we have and often use 
so badly? 
Better look inside and 
around, recognise who 
we are to ourselves
and each other and know 
that we are enough.
