Channels of creative energy

By Ian | 18 June, 2013

The energy to create things exists in all of us. Some of this energy flows through my hands in to words, rhyme, rhythm, capturing light, a part flows through my mouth into song, other through my body as love.

The Arts as such have always interested and fascinated me.

This section contains a couple of channels into which my energy has flown.

Es Tut Mir So Weh

Es tut mir so weh… Sehnsucht.
Du bist nicht hier.
Deine Wange spur ich noch; wie ein Grasshalm hat es gedreht um die Sonne meine Küsse zu empfangen.
Der Haus der Seelen ist leer - trist.

Associations with a place

I’ve written a short poem called “Anchored”.
