This is a contribution of contemporary lyric poetry to the current culture and an encouragement for all of us in a world that has changed - as something that shows itself completely stable in times of greatest change and confusion, also in the current maximal uncertainty in the changes of almost all areas of life, which for many today means full chaos and absolute disorientation. It shows an attempt to regain foundations from the Bible onward through the Enlightenment and overall from those epochs in which the stable bases of the present world were pre-thought, written down, disseminated, and socially installed as well as successfully lived. The destruction of fundamental paradigms, their frequent replacement by unsustainable ideology, entails overall massive negative experiences not only for the individual but also for entire societies, nations, and economies. Every effort to counteract this is worthwhile per se.It is important to me, together with other cultural creators, thinkers, and scholars, to find and formulate suitable and excellent answers to the current challenges of a fundamentally and principally changed world. As a writer, a essential part for me in this is to create a new lyric poetry. In this, I devote myself entirely to a form of prose lyric that contains in formal expression the wholeness, the content-formally coherent of earlier epochs and unites this with the current fragmentation, the chaos and the destroyed that determines our time and current thinking. This is from me a counter-design to contemporary destruction, both in formal respect, as well as in content and intent of statement. This counter-design draws on the most varied elements from the destroyed current culture, the consciousness of destruction and brings these together with impulse-giving, strong, functional aspects that have demonstrably already brought life and human-social success in history due to their basic structure and have proven their timeless reliability therein, or also newer impulses of this kind that in practice always produce stable, functional things and thereby serve the human, life, life happiness, the possible successful human life-and that is what matters to me in everything.
