I try to tell stories through my pictures. Usually they are snapshots of something that caught my attention, and connected with a song, a word, a feeling in that moment or a motif that tells me a story. And I'm thrilled, when people like them and even comment, and I don't blame them, when they don't, because they are my spurs of the moment. But in this case, something truly special happened. A dear friend not only liked my pictures, but they got inspired to write a poem. Not once, but for 11 of my pictures, and one of their own, for every month of this year. Now the first sheet hangs over my kettle to see and read every time I make myself a tea ❤️ See alt-txt for the translation of the poem

A calendar sheet for January, with the days of the month and underneath a picture of a heart drawn in a very dirty window. On the other side of the window, hangs a lamp that shines on the heart. On the side and on the bottom of the picture are each a verse of a poem. The poem is in german and goes like this: 
Januar:

Du bist das Licht
das mich wärmt
du bist der Schimmer
der meine Angst vertreibt
du bist das Strahlen
das mir Hoffnung gibt

Ich bin dein Herz
du leuchtest in mir
Ich bin dein Herz
du bist sicher hier
Ich bin dein Herz
Ich bin dein.

In English ist would be something to the effect of:
You are the light
that warms me
you are the glow
that dispels my fear
you are the radiance
that gives me hope

I am your heart
you shine within me
I am your heart
you are safe here
I am your heart
I am yours.
