Es wird immer ruhiger in mitten des Lärms und irgendwann herrscht stilles Schweigen Denn Erinnerungen führen zum Nachdenken Nachdenken führt zu Erkenntnissen Und Erkenntnisse sind eigen. Sie beruhigen das Innenleben, helfen Dir, zu vergeben, und neu und Neues zu weben. Che Chidi Chukwumerije Im Jahrzehnt der deutschen Dichtung
DIFFERENT STORIES
The story is always told differently From how it really happened Because the story was experienced differently From how it really happened By everyone to whom it really happened Even while it really happened To everyone to whom it really happened Like it never really happened. Che Chidi Chukwumerije Poems from the inner river
VERZEIHUNG
Verzeihung. Ich Dir. Du mir. Wir uns. Empfindung des Tuns. Verzeihung. Che Chidi Chukwumerije Im Jahrzehnt der deutschen Dichtung
CHANGE LEADS
Change leads to more change Every trigger triggers another trigger When life wants to rearrange Your life and make it even bigger It uses sudden change and surprise Pain is an inconsequential by-product Or a tool, a school, but the real prize Is your next level waiting to be unlocked So embrace change that refuses To be refused and powers itself through And challenges you and confuses You and transforms you into a higher you. Che Chidi Chukwumerije Poems from the inner river
ÜBERRASCHUNGEN UND VERÄNDERUNGEN
Veränderungen sind Verabredungen mit dem Schicksal. Überraschungen sind Abrechnungen und Rückzahlungen des Schicksals. Che Chidi Chukwumerije Im Jahrzehnt der Deutschen Dichtung
WAS IT A DREAM?
Dreams What do they mean? So many things happen in them - And yet nothing happened. So many things never happened in them And yet everything happens one day But I have forgotten Until Déjà vu. Che Chidi Chukwumerije Poems from the inner river
ANTWORTEN
Der Lauf der Dinge wird die Antworten liefern im Laufe der Zeit Geduld Ausharren Überleben Mehr brauchst Du nicht. Che Chidi Chukwumerije Poems from the inner river
PARTS OF WAYS
Ways part in part And while parts of ways Stay apart other parts Remain inside the heart Until the harmattan of days Has cleared and the haze Lifts and a new path starts. Che Chidi Chukwumerije Poems from the inner river
SEHNSUCHT UND SEHNFLUCHT
Bevor ich fliege
kriege ich einen Anflug
von Nostalgie und Sehnsucht…
Doch! Es siege
die Neugier. Altes ist nie genug
Im Zeitalter der Sehnflucht.
Che Chidi Chukwumerije
Im Jahrzehnt der deutschen Dichtung
MAKING AMENDS
I make many mistakes
But I make them honestly
And, whatever it takes,
I try to correct them eventually.
If I offended you, know for sure
That I carry regret in my heart
And hope to make amends before
One of us from this earth shall depart.
