Jürgen Wagner
Optimist and Pessimist
With tasty milk, no common tale
They drank their fill, content and dunk
So good it was, that both were drunk
The first one swam around a bit
Already tired, hardly fit
The bucket's rim was slick and sleek
"I can't do this!" - And he got weak
He was a pessimist from scratch
And gave up quickly, such a snatch
"What is the point?" he sadly sighed
He spoke his piece - and then, he died
His friend, he paddled there with might
He kicked and splashed, determined, right
Won hour by hour, lost in a flow
The dawn arrived, he made it, though!
Exhausted and drained, his strength worn thin
Devoid of vigor, no life within
He sat - oh, what a wondrous sight:
Upon a mound of butter, soft and bright!
With the last of his strength, he leaped there out
Had thought it was over, now saved without doubt
And behold, his efforts weren't in vain
He yet was spared, a new life to gain

Book by Jürgen Wagner:
Bäumen begegnen / Mein Freund, der Baum: Baumgedichte
von Jürgen Wagner
Es wächst ein neues Bewusstsein heran, dass Bäume nicht nur Holzlieferanten sind, sondern Lebewesen mit einer Eigenart, einem sozialen Netz und einem inneren Wissen und Fähigkeiten, das wir noch gar nicht kennen. Zusammen mit Bildern und Informationen würdigen die Gedichte die Bäume in ihrer Art und ihrem Wesen und können durchaus eine Brücke der Freundschaft zu ihnen sein.
