Ten farmers walked across the field
When suddenly the rain revealed
The lightning struck, the thunder roared loud
They couldn't get home, they were so cowed
An ancient temple was close at hand
So they fled there, a fearful band
But lightning flashed around the place
They questioned the meaning, seeking grace
Perhaps one among them had done wrong
Taken something, what doesn't belong
"We will check out without delay
The guilty one will have to pay!"
"All our hats are made of straw
We'll hang them out, a simple law
The first, that's taken by the breeze -
This person we'll throw out with ease!"
Indeed, it happened just as they planned
The wind took one, as if by command
"Now we've found the villain here!"
This one received a kick, quite clear
He had to flee into the open air
A lightning struck with a mighty flare
Yet spared the damned one, the flashes
The nine remained, a heap of ashes

Spiegelungen des Daseins: HImmel und Erde: Hommage an das Leben
von Jürgen Wagner
Die Gedichte aus den Jahren 2013-16 erzählen von der ‚Hochzeit‘ von Himmel und Erde. Ob in der kraftgebenden Schärfe des Rettichs oder in der Vitalität der Jahrtausende schon lebenden Eibe, ob in der Weisheit alter Geschichten oder im Wunder der Liebe, ob in spirituellen Erfahrungen oder in den Weiten des Alls: überall begegnen sich Licht und Dunkel, oben und unten. Unsere gewohnte Alltagswelt bekommt etwas von ihrem wahren Glanz wieder, wenn wir uns ein Stück dafür öffnen.
