Look at the abyss. Hold my hand.
And just try not to cry.
To the universe whispering…
(There was no anticipation for your coming to this void cosmos…)
There is no effort needed to be alive…
(Can you know thyself?)
Make an effort…
(At the end, to die!)
Bright moon
Next to the trees
With roots running deep
Oh, bright moon, I can see you
My roots are near thee
I will never touch you like that tree
The night is my friend
Standing still
Bright moon, can you see me?
Writing poetry is difficult. Being exposed is difficult.
Would or have you ever considered collaboration with someone else in writing poems? Is poetry something too personal for you, or could you imagine yourself writing a poem with someone else to express things from your inner self?
I have discussed this with many and have received different views.
Others see poetry writing as something too personal and intimate to do with others. When writing a poem you express your inner feelings and agonies; you cannot do that along with someone else.
On the other hand, it is true that most of us write poems to share at the end. And what is more, we all share similar agonies and thoughts about the major aspects of our existence; from life and death to the mundane agonies of everyday life we are all living in the same world…
What do you think?
Would you consider writing poems along with me or someone else?
Jung talked about the collective unconscious. Could that be a way to explore its inner depths and find what unites us at the end?
