Jürgen Wagner

The Mystical World Tree

The ancients knew, in days gone by,
All things are linked — both low and high

I am a leaf upon its bough,
A maid beneath its roots somehow

A sacred well calm at his base
Four stags that nibble, slow with grace

A giant forged from storm and flame,
A crafty dwarf with many a name

A bird that circles far and free,
A god beyond what eyes can see

A serpent between the roots below,
And rot that creeps too faint to show

Within its time, only one breath,
Within its strength, a spark from leth

A leaf that shivers in the light,
A thread that winds in darkest night

I am a leaf upon its limb
I'd like to sing this little hymn

Bäumen begegnen / Mein Freund, der Baum: Baumgedichte von Jürgen Wagner



Es wächst ein neues Bewusstsein heran, dass Bäume nicht nur Holzlieferanten sind, sondern Lebewesen mit einer Eigenart, einem sozialen Netz und einem inneren Wissen und Fähigkeiten, das wir noch gar nicht kennen. Zusammen mit Bildern und Informationen würdigen die Gedichte die Bäume in ihrer Art und ihrem Wesen und können durchaus eine Brücke der Freundschaft zu ihnen sein.
