The 18.th
poem concludes the first volume of the “ I have heard you” series. This series
was first published by myself as my first booklet many years ago and passed on
among friends.
The
following could be read in the introduction:
Maybe you feel that your life is like a train, whose
switches were set wrong several times and who didn’t pay close attention to the
timetable or the signals and is therefore stuck on a dead end track. Without
having a sense of direction, it asks itself how it could get there in the first
place.
These poems are a dialog between the switchboard and the
conductor or, in other words between the Creator and his creation, - the human.
On that occasion a variety of situations are addressed and it becomes obvious,
that the Creator doesn’t want anything more, than to help the human. Will he
respond to him?
This series of poems came about through years of visiting
repeat offenders of different nationalities and religions in a German prison.
Being in contact with people who have been sentenced guilty has inspired me to
create a booklet for them after all. The poems should be thought provoking,
because they speak about situations, which many of us may be able to identify
with. It is my hope, that every reader may get to know his Creator better and
will be blessed by him and becomes a blessing to others as well.
