Jürgen Wagner

The Turtle and the Frog

Keha, the turtle, in tranquil glee
She lived a life of serenity
For many years without a care
With Gnaske, a frog beyond compare

He was her dearest, closest friend
With whom sweet dreams she'd often blent
They chatted endlessly day and night
By the lake, on a rock, bathed in moonlight

One day came a rain, so fierce and wild
'I'll catch a cold, ' she said, beguiled
'I must not stay and risk my health
Although such things are rare in stealth

I'd rather be safe than sorry, you see
Let's swiftly escape, just you and me! '
Before they got soaked, wet and wetter
They both leapt into the water together


Written after a tale of native Americans

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.
