Once in your life - for Eric Clapton

Once in your life
You get such a choice
To win a good wife
To make a good noise
 
 ***

Tears on the earth
Clouds in the sky
Death and rebirth
Never ask why

 

 
 
Eric C. looking back as he was 13 years old:  I just managed to convince my grandmother that it was a worth while that was something to do, you know, and when I did finally get the guitar, it didn't seem that difficult to me, to be able to make a good noise out of it.
 
In 1991 Clapton's son Conor died at the age of four and a half, when he fell out of an open bedroom window on the 53rd floor of a Manhattan apartment building. Afterwards he composed  ‘Tears in heaven’, one of his most popular songs.

Spiegelungen des Daseins: HImmel und Erde: Hommage an das Leben von Jürgen Wagner



Die Gedichte aus den Jahren 2013-16 erzählen von der ‚Hochzeit‘ von Himmel und Erde. Ob in der kraftgebenden Schärfe des Rettichs oder in der Vitalität der Jahrtausende schon lebenden Eibe, ob in der Weisheit alter Geschichten oder im Wunder der Liebe, ob in spirituellen Erfahrungen oder in den Weiten des Alls: überall begegnen sich Licht und Dunkel, oben und unten. Unsere gewohnte Alltagswelt bekommt etwas von ihrem wahren Glanz wieder, wenn wir uns ein Stück dafür öffnen.
