    “We are all entitled to post here …”

    From the Art, Poetry, Music & Film thread ….

    Paul Celan

    Homecoming

    Snowfall, denser and denser,
    dove-coloured as yesterday,
    snowfall, as if even now you were sleeping.

    White, stacked into distance.
    Above it, endless,
    the sleigh track of the lost.

    Below, hidden,
    presses up
    what so hurts the eyes,
    hill upon hill,
    invisible.

    On each,
    fetched home into its today,
    an I slipped away into dumbness:
    wooden, a post.

    There: a feeling,
    blown across by the ice wind
    attaching its dove- its snow-
    coloured cloth as a flag.

    Paul Celan

    “Arnica, eyebright, the
    draft from the well with the
    star-die on top,
    in the
    Hütte,
    written in the book
    —whose name did it record
    before mine—?
    in this book
    the line about
    a hope, today,
    for a thinker’s
    word
    to come,
    in the heart,
    forest sward, unleveled,
    orchis and orchis, singly,”

    Within you without you

    We were talking – about the space between us all
    And the people – who hide themselves behind a wall of illusion
    Never glimpse the truth – then it’s far too late when they pass away

    We were talking – about the love we all could share
    When we find it – to try our best to hold it there – with our love
    With our love we could save the world – if they only knew
    Try to realise it’s all within yourself – no-one else can make you change
    And to see you’re really only very small
    And life flows on within you and without you.

    We were talking – about the love that’s gone so cold
    And the people who gain the world and lose their soul
    They don’t know, they can’t see – are you one of them ?

    When you’ve seen beyond yourself
    Then you may find peace of mind is waiting there
    And the time will come when you see we’re all one
    And life flows on within you and without you.

    Just read this about him ….

    “His attitude to party politics in general was indicated by his flirtation with the Monster Raving Loony Party on the grounds that they “had one advantage over all the other parties – they knew they were loonies”. His highly individualistic attitude to organisations in general was well summed up when he once observed, “I’m thinking of starting the Politically Incorrect School of Sociology – and the acronym says it all.” The initials were indeed just what he thought applied to so much of the modern world.”

    His tireless work explaining the wonders of the universe – punctuated by his mantra of scientific inquiry, “We just don’t know” – wonderful!

    A true eccentric ! RIP Sir Patrick Moore

    Love, love is a verb
    Love is a doing word
    Fearless on my breath
    Gentle impulsion
    Shakes me, makes me lighter
    Fearless on my breath

    Teardrop on the fire
    Fearless on my breath

    Nine night of matter
    Black flowers blossom
    Fearless on my breath
    Black flowers blossom
    Fearless on my breath

    Teardrop on the fire
    Fearless on my…

    Water is my eye
    Most faithful mirror
    Fearless on my breath
    Teardrop on the fire
    Of a confession
    Fearless on my breath
    Most faithful mirror
    Fearless on my breath

    Teardrop on the fire
    Fearless on my breath

    You’re stumbling down
    You’re stumbling down
