    “Alle Talen Alle Volken”

    Alle Talen alle Volken
    zoveel monden zoveel monden
    spreken door elkaar
    iedereen is anders
    geen is normaal
    maar uit het hart
    spreken we allemaal
    eenzelfde taal …

    Themes:

    Unity in Diversity: The poem celebrates the diversity of languages and peoples (“Alle Talen alle Volken”) while emphasizing a universal connection through the heart (“eenzelfde taal”).

    It suggests that despite differences, humanity shares a common emotional language.

    Human Connection: The focus on “uit het hart” (from the heart) underscores empathy and shared feelings as a unifying force, transcending cultural or linguistic barriers.

    Equality and Acceptance: The line “iedereen is anders, geen is normaal” (everyone is different, none is normal) promotes acceptance of individuality, rejecting normative standards.

    Imagery:

    Mouths and Speech: “Zoveel monden zoveel monden / spreken door elkaar” (so many mouths, so many mouths / speaking over each other) vividly depicts the chaos of diverse voices, grounding the poem in human expression.

    Heart: “Uit het hart” (from the heart) is a central metaphor, symbolizing universal emotion and sincerity, unifying diverse voices.

    Abstract Unity: “Eenzelfde taal” (the same language) is abstract, representing a shared emotional spiritual essence, with the ellipsis adding a sense of infinite possibility.

    Tone:

    The tone is inclusive, optimistic, and philosophical, inviting reflection on shared humanity. The direct address implied in “we allemaal” (we all) fosters a collective, unifying feel.

    The repetition of “zoveel monden” and the ellipsis create a meditative, open-ended tone, encouraging contemplation.

    Stylistic Elements:

    Repetition: “Zoveel monden zoveel monden” and “alle” (in title and first line) emphasize diversity and unity, creating a rhythmic, chant-like effect suitable for Stan Rams’ musical background.

    Direct Address:

    “We allemaal” (we all) engages readers collectively, similar to the “jij” in “Zee meditatie” and “you” in your poem, fostering intimacy.

    Language:

    Written in Dutch, it reflects Stan Rams’ local Amsterdam audience, contrasting with the English poems on stanrams.com and your poem.

    Ellipsis:

    The final “…” suggests an ongoing, universal truth, adding a poetic flourish.

    Simplicity: The concise language and lack of complex metaphors makes it accessible to a world wide audience, aligning with Stan Rams filosophical meditative and inspiring style works.

    Strengths:

    Universal Appeal:

    The poem’s message of unity through diversity is accessible and resonant, fitting Stan Rams’ inspirational meditative styles.

    Rhythmic Flow:

    The repetition and short lines create a chant-like quality, ideal for musical or communal settings.

    Simplicity:

    The beautiful natural minimal imagery and pure language reaches a broad audience, such as in Amsterdam’s multicultural context.

    Music Connection:

    The poem’s rhythmic, chant-like structure suggests it could be lyrics for a world music or meditative track, aligning with Stan Rams’ music on stanrams.com (e.g., “World Peace Dance,” “Angel Meditation”). Its universal theme fits his socially conscious and spiritual compositions, and pair with his inspiring tracks promoting unity, similar to his poems link to inspirational meditative music.

    Overal:

    l“Alle Talen Alle Volken” is a concise, powerful poem that celebrates human unity through the universal language of the heart.

    Its simplicity, rhythmic flow, and inclusive tone make it a natural fit for Stan Rams’ multimedia artistry, potentially as lyrics or a spoken-word piece. It complements the spiritual and unifying themes of his other works, showcasing his ability to craft accessible, philosophical poetry for a worldwide audience.

    “these are the days we rise up for freedom…”

    these are the days we rise up for freedom
    we come together and make the big change
    untill the day of liberation
    nothing can stop us

    With the lord of love on our side
    (with the endless power of hearts)

    we never give up together we stand strong

    we break the chains united by love

    darkness wont harm as the sun rises

    so keep on shining the future is yours

    The poem calls for collective action and spiritual strength in the face of oppression, emphasizing love and unity as forces for change.

    Structure: Ten-line single stanza, free verse, in English. The poem builds momentum with short, declarative lines, culminating in a hopeful vision.

    Imagery: Light and darkness contrast (“darkness wont harm,” “sun rises”), with spiritual imagery (“lord of love,” “endless power of hearts”) evoking divine support. The “chains” symbolize oppression, and the “sun” represents hope.

    Tone: Uplifting, defiant, and inspirational, with a collective “we” that rallies the reader.

    Style: Direct, anthemic, with repetition (“we,” “love”) and parentheses for emphasis. The English language targets a global audience.

    Relation: Stan Rams shares spiritual optimism, direct address (“you”), and themes of love and light overcoming darkness. Both envision a transformative journey,this poem is activist-oriented from introspective.

    Music Connection: The anthemic style suggests lyrics for protest or inspirational songs, like “Amsterdam Krishna world-peace dance” or “Dance for Peace.”,

    Door angst niet meer kunnen zien en horen

    vluchtend voor de boze wereld

    met een hart vol tranen

    verdiet en pijn

    gaande door het duister

    met geloof hoop en liefde

    getroost door de lichten

    van de hemel en de engelen

    die je leiden en bemoedigen

    op de weg naar morgen

    waar je ook mag zijn

    in welke richting

    je ook moge gaan


    Geleid door licht

    met een kloppend hart

    vol moed vreugde en dankbaarheid

    volg het pad, een avontuurlijke zoektocht

    kronkelend en waar, om te ontvouwen

    door schaduwen en kleuren lichten

    waar dromen met de hemel verweven zijn

    elke stap vormt een leven

    een nieuw begin

    zoals het morgen licht

    meer dan het zaad

    dat je hebt gezaaid.

    door het wonder van liefde

    de zin van het bestaan

    Out of fear

    no longer seeing and hearing

    fleeing from the angry world

    with a heart full of tears

    sorrow and pain

    journeying through the darkness

    with faith, hope, and love,

    comforted by angels

    who guide and encourage you

    to bravely continue

    in whichever direction

    you may go

    wherever you may be




    Guided by light and love

    with a beating heart

    full of light, joy, and gratitude

    follow the path, winding and true

    live with purpose in all that you do

    the adventure, a quest to unfold

    a story of courage, forever retold


    through shadows, colors and lights

    where dreams intertwine

    interwoven with the heavens

    each step shapes a life

    a new beginning

    like the morning sun


    with heart and soul

    truth that’s your own

    more than the meaning you chase

    the seed you have sown

    through the miracle of love

    the meaning of life

  • In ancient Greece, bees (mélissa) The Sacred Bee -, were considered sacred messengers of the gods, particularly by the Muses, goddesses of art, poetry and science

    The muses sent bees to humans, ordering them to smoother their lips with honey (μέλι - méli), in order to bring them wisdom and eloquence.

    Greek myth Zeus’s father, Kronos, wanted to kill him even before he was born, so his mother, Rhea, switched the infant with a rock, which Kronos then swallowed whilst she spirited the infant Zeus away to a secret cave on Mt.Dikte, on the island of Crete.

    There are various versions about what happened next, one has Zeus raised in a cave full of honeybees, which he later rewarded by giving them their golden colour.

    Another version is that nymph Melissa (goddess of honey and beekeeping), feeds baby Zeus honey from sacred bees and gives him milk from a goat named Amaltheia, which, in yet another version is a goat-tending nymph, who reared Zeus.

    Which version you prefer, Zeus, king of the Olympian gods, was raised on honey.

    Hippocrates (466 - 377 BC), "Father of medicine", was a great believer in the power of honey as the go to remedy for soothing most ancient ailments.

    Aristotle (384 - 322 BC) The great Greek philosopher, wrote about the art of beekeeping in his first book, "Historia Animalium" (The History of Animals). At the time of writing his book, people believed bees did not produce their young but found them in flowers but Aristotle thought they developed within honeycomb cells. He never did figure out though, how bees made honey and decided it came from the atmosphere.

    The author of the Iliad and the Odyssey Homer, goes into great detail about searching for wild honey amongst the rocks. At the Olympic Games in ancient Greece, athletes drank honey water in order to regain their strength. Pythagoras, the ancient mathematician, considered honey the elixir of youth, to consume it was the sure-fire way to longevity.

  • Orpheus, a Thracian bard, legendary musician, and prophet, is a prominent figure in ancient Greek mythology. Renowned for his musical talents, Orpheus is known for his ability to charm all living things and even stones with his music, as depicted in Orpheus mosaics. According to legend, he embarked on a journey with Jason and the Argonauts in search of the Golden Fleece and famously descended into the underworld of Hades to rescue his beloved wife, Eurydice. Orpheus was also recognized as the ruler of Bistonian Pieria.

    Ancient Greek authors like Strabo and Plutarch highlight Orpheus's Thracian heritage. His stories revolve around his musical prowess, his poignant attempt to bring back Eurydice from the underworld, and his tragic demise at the hands of the maenads of Dionysus, who grew weary of his mourning for Eurydice. Regarded as the archetype of the inspired singer, Orpheus holds significant cultural importance, inspiring various art forms and popular culture expressions such as poetry, film, opera, music, and painting.
