Poesie und Musik

In the artist's words:

Poetry & Music

"Hermann Hesse"

7.2.2026, 19h

St. Thomas Church Cologne, Neusser Wall 61, 50670 Cologne

The magic of colors

God's breath now and then,

Heaven above, heaven below,

Light sings a thousand songs,

God becomes world in colorful hues.

White to black and warm to cool

Feels always drawn anew,

Eternally from chaotic rummaging

The rainbow clears anew.

So through our soul walks

Thousandfold in agony and delight

God's light, creates and acts,

And we praise Him as the sun.

(written on October 10, 1918)

For this evening, I invite you to a space of poetry and music.

Into a space of silence and mindfulness. We will speak and recite,

if we are ready, poems - also by heart.

We can then share experiences in a protected space,

that have been given to us in the course of our personal life stories

with those poems. We share silence when silence calls.

We sing together when singing calls.

Drinks and snacks will be served during the break.

Recommended appreciation contribution: 15€
