  1. Der Weg des Gesangs

    Getrennt vom Geist
    Berg
    Wasser
    Eine Stimme
    Züngelt
    Mäandernd
    Regen fällt
    Weiße Wolke
    Parfümiert
    Die Quelle
    In gebrochene Hände
    Eine Stimme
    Züngelt
    Mäandernd
    Getrennt vom Geist
    Steigt ein Lied
    Empor
    Getrennt vom Geist
    Singender Berg

    • That was a really good poem. When you read the first line “Separated from the Spirit”, it sounds a little cliche. Not to the point of being laughable or boring, but a little cliche all the same. But when you repeat it again towards the end of the poem, it becomes more impactful. For one thing, the repetition of the word “meandering” and the line “The Source” suggest exactly the technique you used. You meandered away from the first line, “the source”, and then returned to it.

      Altogether, that was such a good poem that doctoral students should be writing papers about it.
