ΜΕ ΣΥΜΜΕΤΟΧΗ ΜΟΥ ΣΤΗΝ ΑΝΘΟΛΟΓΙΑ INTERCONTINETAL ANTHOLOGY OF POETRY ON UNIVERSAL PEACE

Chryssa Velissariou Eftichia μου και παλι διεθνής συγχαρητήρια! Με το ποίημά σου ΑΓΕΡΑΣΤΗ ΣΟΦΙΑ

ΑΓΕΡΑΣΤΗ ΣΟΦΙΑ

Ζωή ακατέργαστη πέτρα

σε καιρούς φθαρμένους

σε κομμάτια γης

στο επίμονο  βλέμμα

του Ήλιου σμιλεμένη

Της έδωσα ονόματα

στην ομορφιά των κρίνων

στο χρώμα της φωτιάς

μυριάδες σώματα αγκαλιασμένα

στου Ήλιου τα δάκρυα στα

σπλάχνα της γης φυλαγμένα

Και ο άνθρωπος μεγάλωσε

κάρπισε

ντύθηκε με σχέδια και χρώματα

έγινε αγάπη ,έγινε αφή

γέννησε ζωή ,ταξίδεψε

στου χρόνου τα χνάρια

Φύτεψα νεφέλες ..θεές

με ακίνητα μάτια

τραγούδησα τον έρωτα

με λέξεις προσφορά

σε χρυσές αναλαμπές

Με τα παραμύθια της γιαγιάς

τα πουλιά του κόσμου

ακολούθησα

σύνορα πέρασα μυθικά

την εικόνα του κόσμου

με αγέραστη σοφία έκτισα

FOREWORD

On behalf of the World Poetry Peace Poetathon and all the other 

World Poetry venues, we would like to congratulate the selected

poets and editors of "The Intercontinental Anthology of Poetry on

Universal Love and Peace" which contains poetry from 7 

continents and more than 100 poets, for bringing together our

world family to inspire, explore and transform.

Intercontinental Anthology of Poetry on Universal Peace and Love

is an anthology of poems edited by 8 scholars selected from all the 

continents - except the Managing Editor, Mutiu Olawuyi, who sees

himself as a universal poet - a poet without borders. The

founder/Managing Editor sees this as a World Poetry Peace

Poetathon project.

The esteemed editors from 7 continents; Dr. Stephen Billy Olajide 

– Africa, Prof. Yayati Madan G Gandhi – Asia, (Editor-in-Chief), 

Prof. Chryssa Velissariou – Europe, Dr. Kirsten Hemmy - South 

America, Dr. Lucette Bailliet – Australia, Kathy Figueroa - North

America. Mario Meléndez - Antarctica and above all Mutiu Olawuyi 

, Initiator/Managing Editor are to be commended on their expertise 

and collective beliefs that together we can make a better world.

We are honoured to have this book as part of the World Poetry

Canada International Peace Poetathon. When we began World

Poetry in the year 2002, the goal was to present venues that come

together in peace, love, and respect and hope. We also wanted to

give a voice to those voices needed to be heard.

We will be celebrating our Fourth World Poetry Canada

International Peace Festival in October. Peace is a learned skill 

that needs to be focused on, learned and practised. The poets, 

writers, musicians, dancers and artists of the world can make a 

difference. We are a world family and can use our combined and 

creative powers to build changes for peace.

Neuroscience research has shown that nothing is more powerful

than thought waves. They can go through solid metal, wood and

even cement. Like thought waves attract each other, positive or 

(i)

negative. When poems are written such as those included in the 

anthology, they project thought waves of peace and universal love.

We can imagine a steady stream of peace and love, positive 

thought waves from hundreds of participants flowing around the 

earth and the result of all the combined power of all those peace 

poems focusing on peace, meditating on peace, drawings, 

dances, writing for peace will be powerful. Words are created by 

thoughts and when directed toward building peace they attract like 

thoughts. Positive peace thoughts and love will hook up with others 

creating a link that travels around the world.

A warm thank you to the poets who have shared their inspired work 

and the Publishers Global Fraternity of Poets for collaborating in 

this mutual dream project.
