A successful festival
For those who were not there and for those who were there and want to reminisce…
Below you find my poem, which is published in the poetry collection Vicit, Vim, Virtus. The English translation you can find below the photo.
Vicit, Vim, Virtus is a publication of the Haarlemse Dichtlijn, published on the occasion of the annual Poetry Festival, on Ascension Day.
The bundle is for sale during events of the Haarlemse Dichtlijn. More information and the agenda for future events can be found at the website of the Haarlemse Dichtlijn.
On the front-cover we find the specially designed illustration by Ben Imhoff.

I finally got there,
the journey has been long
Clarity and Consciousness as companions
can burn and shatter
Ask Icarus, he knows all about it…
Can clarify reality
so that beauty becomes visible
experience after experience
life after life
cycle after cycle
Words can cut
like knives in hearts
Words can connect
like a boat two shores
Words can love
like roses, velvety soft
Words can remind
of what you really are
Experience remains Master
Wisdom the insight
Are you ready for it?
