Kai Michael Neumann Poet Ode

Notes About The Poem

Ode to Joy’, written by Friedrich Schiller and used for Ludwig van Beethoven’s last movement of the Ninth Symphony, starts with ‘Freude schoener Goetterfunken, Tochter aus Elysium (Joy, beautiful spark of divinity, Daughter from Elysium).

‘Elysium’ is the Greek concept of afterlife and the 'Lotus Flower', in its many colours, symbolizes the eightfold path of noble truths in Buddhism.

Ode To Life Before and After the Lotus

Ode to Life before and after the Lotus

Just a flower soon to wilt gone back to the soil
‘who are you when men and women rule the world?’

‘I am beauty, a sacred Lotus and hold the spirit of
wisdom intelligence and knowledge. My center is
partially open for awakening of your lonely heart’.

‘Joy, beautiful spark of divinity’ meditates through
lost journeys when you pause to look at the flowers.
