There’s brightness up ahead Curiousity and hope instead Of shuddering tears we shed Instead of feet that walking bled And never a word said. But now there’s brightness up Ahead and an overflowing cup And a loaf of laughter for my sup. If you look deeply you’ll see it on my face That my heart was caught by His grace. Che Chidi Chukwumerije Poems from the inner river
LÜFTEN
Und sollen wir atmen? Denn das Grab futtert Blumen Und das Herz einst eine Gruft Öffnet sich - und das spricht Volumen - zum Lüften. Che Chidi Chukwumerije Im Jahrzehnt der deutschen Dichtung
SMILING STILL
A heart of gold And you will walk many miles In the biting cold Warmed by memories of smiles May your heart be bold And wise to wade through the wiles And guiles and keep smiling still As you trudge on up Hurting Hill. Che Chidi Chukwumerije Poems from the inner river
SINN
Danke für das vergangene Jahr, Für die Freude und für den Schmerz. Ich habe verloren um ein Haar Meinen Verstand und mein Herz. Danke für das neue Jahr, Für Hoffnung und Neubeginn. Ich bin die selbe Person zwar, Doch hat das Leben neuen Sinn. Che Chidi Chukwumerije Im Jahrzehnt der deutschen Dichtung
RIGHT THINGS
Do the right things And do the things right Spread your light wings And make your wings light Whatever the flight brings Inner buoyancy brings flight Up into the bright rings Where happiness rings bright. Che Chidi Chukwumerije Poems from the inner river
UND SCHWEIGT
Das Jahr neigt sich dem Ende zu Mein Herz ist voll und schweigt dazu Ich habe über den Mensch Sachen gelernt, die haben aus meiner Seele die Unschuld entfernt. Che Chidi Chukwumerije Im Jahrzehnt der deutschen Dichtung
SEASON OF TRUTH
Only truth can heal wounds. That is why the Spirit of Truth is also the Comforter. Jesus Christ promised his disciples: “You shall know the Truth, and the Truth shall set you free.” Because only the Truth can close all gaps – and closing of gaps is the symbolic expression for the healing of wounds. Yes, only the Truth can set you free – free of pressure, free of uncertainty and insecurity, free of guilt, free of doubt and free of pain. And, finally, only the Truth can show you the way forward, through your journey, the way out of the Darkness and up to the Light.
For this purpose I recommend the book “In the Light of Truth” (the Grail Message) by Abd-ru-shin. It unveils Truth that brings clarity to the human SPIRIT and offers a new direction to the human intellect on how to grasp reality in a way that makes everything make sense. Fate and free will. Destiny and decision-making. Thoughts and words. Spirit, soul and body. Intuition and intellect. Woman and man. Humans and animals. Fairy tales and reality. Life and afterlife. Religion and science. Character and personality. Vanity and humility. Goodness, truthfulness and kindness. Self-struggle and self-conquest. Family and individuality. Homogeneity, reciprocity and responsibility. God and everything else. The Grail Message is a great help in understanding the essence of life, for it mediates clarity in the Light of Truth.
Truth. And also in our interactions as human beings, truthfulness is the basis of true connections, trust, intimacy, safety and real bonds. Truthfulness primarily about who we are, what our natures really are and what we really want. Truthfulness is the difference between a humanity that meets and knows itself and harmoniously bonds with itself, or a humanity that is perpetually at odds with itself, disunited and conflicted. Truthfulness is the most valuable virtue that a human being has to offer in the relationship with other human beings. As 2026 dawns, may you be honest with yourself about who you really are, and may you be honest to those who cherish you. It is the basis of everything good.

ACHING
Deep inner feelings of love are possible The love that causes the heart to ache is possible The love you cannot forget is possible The love that is stronger than you is possible The love that changes you is possible You just have to meet the right person To experience the incredible aching With or without Heartbreaking. Che Chidi Chukwumerije Poems from the inner river
WEINSTUBE
Wein und Eure Stimmen
warm und weich und laut
und sanft und geht mir
unter die Haut.

RE-CODING MANHOOD
I never again want to be that man, the one that a woman is lying to another man in order to come and spend time with me. Because I will always think of that other man and know the excruciating pain he will feel if he ever suspects something he cannot prove. And if he doesn’t suspect anything and thinks he is with a loyal partner, then I will be the one to feel the excruciating pain on his behalf. I never want to be that man, the one that encourages or condones a woman lying to another man in order to come and spend time with me. For humanity to grow, the code of manhood has to change and become noble and knightly, boldly honest and full of dignity. I want to be the man who speaks the truth and to whom the truth is spoken. Any woman who deceives someone else in order to come and give herself to you, is not a good woman. She has given you a poisoned chalice. Be a man whose most intimate communication is truth, who speaks truth and to whom truth is spoken. Re-code the manhood within you, so we can lift up this world again.
