Sonja Prins

flow

like you'd divide a symphony
into movements 
sensing the music and not describing it
beyond fast or slow

so are the thoughts about love and hate
philosophies of life and all emotions
they can't be caught in the coarse mesh
of understanding and relations

where tempo plays no part
but the flow does
the one that moves in the body
between different
concentrations

stroming

stroming

zoals je een symfonie
in bewegingen verdeelt 
het aanvoelen van de muziek dus niet anders beschrijft
dan langzaam of snel

zo zijn de gedachten over liefde en haat
wereldbeschouwing en alle emoties
niet anders te vatten dan in het grofmazige net
van verstandhouding en relaties

waarbij tempo geen rol speelt
wel echter de stroming
die in het lichaam beweegt
tussen verschillende 
concentraties
