Beschreibung

A book of new poems that come from listening to birds, trees, water and the stirrings of the soul, from travelling abroad and even from dark places where hobbits or humans sometimes get stuck. Above all they celebrate the beauty and mystery of life and always cling to hope and joy.

Leseprobe

“While they were eating Tom went up to the mound, and

looked through the treasures. Most of these he made into a

pile that glistened and sparkled on the grass. He bade

them lie there ‘free to all finders, birds, beast, Elves or Men,

and all kindly creatures’; for so the spell of the mound

should be broken and scattered and no Wight ever come

back to it.”

J.R.R. Tolkien: The Fellowship of the Ring

In your head

a thousand

Early in the Morning

it was just a car that passed outside

early in the morning

as we still lay in bed

but I listened to it

as if it were a long deep breath you took

and I felt the breathing in my own body

and it brought to me a faint hint

a suggestion of something I can almost but do not

remember

something that is lost forever

in ages past

Ideas and Swallows

so many ideas and swallows

all alone or

in clusters forming and dissolving

chirping

fluttering

gliding along

doing unexpected turns

in the overcast morning sky

how beautiful just to watch them

in their wild ways

trusting the air

trusting their wings

trusting the world

enjoying the freedom of

space

Birdsong (Haiku)

Birdsong. Intense blue.

Flowers sprawl across empty

diary pages.

Waters of the Soul

Mighty are the waters of the soul
