"It's like you're screaming and no one can hear. You almost feel ashamed that someone could be that important that without them you feel like nothing. No one will ever understand how much it hurts. You feel hopeless, like nothing can save you. And when it's over and it's gone, you almost wish you could have all that bad stuff back so that you can have the good."

How stunningly true

poem 352 from Manyoushuu, by Sami Mansei:

Yo no naka o
nani-ni tatoemu
asabiraki
kogiinishi fune no
ato naki gotoshi

Living in this world -
to what shall I compare it?
Its like a boat
rowing out at break of day,
leaving no trace behind.




A poem from Monk Ryokan

世の中は
何にたとへん
山彦の
こたふる聲の
空しきがごと

Yo no naka wa
nani ni tatoen
yamabiko no
kotauru koe no
munashiki ga goto

Translation by Steven D. Carter:

Our life in this world -
to what shall I compare it?
Its like an echo
resounding through the mountains
and off into the empty sky.


Now that is what I call poetry,
couldn't get those out of my head

Freedom

1 min read
In this forgotten life,
freedom is just a word.
If you think are we the one to make choises with what we want.

we make choises with what is possible,
yet i dont agree.

I want to be free like the wind
And i can barely accept that,
still we re not free.
We have cars, plains and the possibility to vote,
but we are not free!

it makes me sad,
now, looking at the rain i calm down

we musn't forget who we are.
Freedom,

to float on air, to live life,


in every breath...


Gegroet!
