Smoke from a German Altar and German: City’s, Bridges and Streets (Part II)


Smoke from a German Altar
((1970-1977) (Parts I and II))

Across the Rhineland    (Part I)

Across the Rhineland, I roamed so long ago
When there was less hostility, to and fro—
I blazed a trail to immortality!
And learned to know the folly of the fool;
I left some scars upon the yielding times—
And found peace where courage won.

German: City’s, Bridges and Streets (Part II)

I strolled along the stone brick bridges
Twilight after twilight untouched by the passing breeze;
The city’s tranquil essence and gloomy corridors—
I walked along the shadowed lamp lit streets!
And thought of things in solitude, no city sound
Disturbed my drifting day-to-night dreaming mind.
I had an endless rope of hopes, and smiles and
—forgotten ills!
