I am
by Ghairo Daniels

I AM

I am that I am
SourceLight within my Innermost Heart
unique fractal of Divinity
ever evolving spiralling ascending
deathless ageless
is my Soul

I am that I am

Passport
by Mahmoud Darwish

They did not recognize me in the shadows
That suck away my color in this Passport
And to them my wound was an exhibit
For a tourist Who loves to collect photographs
They did not recognize me,
Ah... Don't leave
The palm of my hand without the sun
Because the trees recognize me
Don't leave me pale like the moon!

Verandering 02
by Mario Odekerken

Er was een tijd dat ik op de straat liep
en de wereld om me heen
voelde als de mijne.

Blonde en bruine haren in het zonlicht,
blauwe en bruine ogen die ik herkende.
Zondagen klonken zacht,
de klokken riepen ons samen.
In de kerk vonden we stilte,verbondenheid,
iets groters dan onszelf.

In A London Drawingroom
by George Eliot

The sky is cloudy, yellowed by the smoke.
For view there are the houses opposite
Cutting the sky with one long line of wall
Like solid fog: far as the eye can stretch
Monotony of surface & of form
Without a break to hang a guess upon.
No bird can make a shadow as it flies,
For all is shadow, as in ways o'erhung
By thickest canvass, where the golden rays
Are clothed in hemp. No figure lingering

Change
by Mario Odekerken

There was a time
when I walked the streets
and the world around me spoke
the way I thought,
sounded the way I felt.
Blond hair in the sun,
the soft tone
of familiar words
in a language
that raised me.

"Judisch sein in einer hasserfüllten Welt"
by Mario Odekerken

Es beginnt nicht mit Schreien,
sondern mit Blicken,
die zu lange haften bleiben,
mit Fragen,
die keine Neugier tragen
sondern Urteil-höflich verpackt.

Du gehst durch Straßen,
als trügst du Geschichte auf der Stirn.
Jeder Schritt ruft Echos hervor von Namen,

Erfzonde
by Teo Luchin

Ik ademde in wat zij nooit zeiden
en noemde het zuurstof.
Schoon. Leeg.
Vrij van wortels
en van groei.

Ik groef me los uit hun dromen
tot mijn handen niets meer vasthielden.
Ik leek op niemand,
En niemand keek terug.

ICE : Ode to Self
by Ghairo Daniels

I C E : Ode to Self

few Hearts can fancy dress their
nakedness in icicle Presence
fewer minds will slip into cemetery’s dusk
soul appears, no hectic heady harkening
glancing what is needed or already seeded
Insight measures wisdom, not cerebral chancing

silence answers chaos, no questions
