Lyrical Reflection XXII

Early summer evening
Antje van der Maas

The day slowly draws to a close

The sun, almost gone, still gently beguiles my senses

The smell of freshly mown grass heralds the start of summer for me

When I close my eyes, I smell him as if he had just left yesterday

People and animals are soon romping about on the colorful meadow

A picnic is celebrated there with candles, wine and so much love

Just a moment until the sun sets completely

And the moon takes over the scepter of the sky until tomorrow morning

Welcome to this platform for the cultivated exchange of arguments.

We have forgotten how to endure contradiction. It is okay to disagree here. I would ask you to remain respectful and polite. Insults and hate comments will be removed in future, as will calls to vote for political parties. I reserve the right to delete insulting or derogatory comments. This public forum and its inherent opportunity to exchange arguments and opinions is an attempt to uphold freedom of expression - including freedom of dissent. I would like to see the old-fashioned virtue of respect cultivated here.

"Controversy is not an annoying evil, but a necessary prerequisite for the success of democracy." Federal President Dr. h.c. Joachim Gauck (ret.), only 5 years ago in his speech on the Day of the Basic Law.
