Vivia (... die Gelebte oder die Lebendige!?)

Du stehst am Fluss

und schaust ihm zu,

spürst des Lebens Kuss

und bist froh im Nu!

 

Träumst so den Traum,

vom heilen Leben,

an seinem Saum,

und fühlst ein Beben!

 

Du spürst den Glanz,

auf der anderen Seite,

des Glückes Tanz,

in gar so ferner Weite ...

 

Der Sinn des Lebens

ist nicht still stehen,

ohne Aufhebens,

lehrt der Fluss dich gehn!

 

Du und der Fluss, so gib fein acht,

im Lebenskreislauf,

mal wilder - mal sacht,

er fließt hinab — Du gehst hinauf!

 

Hast erfahren den Sinn,

den Grund deines Seins

und tief in Dir drin,

siehst du die Brücke ...,

(oder Dein Leben ist keins?!)

 

Glück

So groß und rein,

kann's sein.

hoch droben,

tollen und toben,

wissend wie's ist,

 unten im Mist.

 

Der Kompost ist bereitet,

er uns nun leitet,

befruchtend durchs Leben

und stehen daneben

und sind mittendrin,

zu blühen ist unser Sinn!

Viel Glück
