    About this ebook

    Sounds and words are like waves. They touch each other and carry forward for all eternity. Sometimes, a sound touches a sound, sometimes a word and sometimes the other way round. We, who are swamped with them, somewhen can hardly recognize what has been there at first, and who has touched whom.
    I only know for sure, that in the stream of Bob Dylan´s words and music, the following poems emerged.

      Side by side with Bob Dylan

      Annotation

      Preface

      Poems inspired by Bob Dylan´s songs:

      On the way

      Man from the north

      The street musician

      Fare thee well

      Give me an answer to it

      The gliding flight

      Nothing and nobody

      Plan of fortune

      Give my freedom back to me

      On the lighthouse

      The goodby

      At the end of the street

      Today is our day

      Forever wild

      Day of freedom

      Black shadows

      Jajo

      The train from the mountains

      Further and further on

      The second me

      The other world

      Rely on yourself

      Born in another country

      What good am I for?

      Tight connected

      Brown eyes

      Otherwhiles not

      The stranger

      Where has dignity gone to?

      Fed up with your love

      Sunset

      Turn of eras

      Until your heart feels it

      Dance on the waves

      Departure

      Self-deception

      I´ll be with you

      Bound to forget

      Journey into the past

      Full moon and empty heart

      The fool

      Autumn storms

      Stay with me

      Melancholy

      Time of clouds

      Poems about Bob Dylan:

      Warm colours

      Going, going, gone

      For Bob Dylan

      The old songwriter

      The return

      The change

      Sweet by sweet

      Walking through the fire

      The book of life

      Poems as a tribute to Bob Dylan

      at his 75th birthday 

      from Gudrun Heller

      Annotation

      In 2015,  I published the book of poems  „Seite an Seite…mit Bob Dylan"  as an e-book in Germany.

      As a tribute to Bob Dylan on the occasion of his 75th birthday,  I now translated the poems in English, added some new ones and published them as paperback version.

      Hope you´ll enjoy them!

      Preface

      Sounds and words are like waves. They touch each other and carry forward for all eternity. Sometimes, a sound touches a sound, sometimes a word and sometimes the other way round. We, who are swamped with them, somewhen can hardly recognize what has been there at first, and who has touched whom.

      I only know for sure, that in the stream of Bob Dylan´s words and music, the following poems emerged.

      Poems inspired by Bob Dylan´s songs:

      On the following pages you find poems inspired by Bob Dylan´s songs.

      On the way

      Heavy boots beat on the asphalt of the street

      which once you had built on your own,

      with the blood of your heart

      and your soul´s confidence,

      and many dreams you have forlorn.

      Now  you´ve been on this road for ages

      and dust whirls around your feet,

      it´s been a long time

      since you´ve found here something,

      and even longer

      that there was someone to meet.

      So many senseless marches,

      so many efforts to sustain,

      meanwhile you lost the sight of your goal,

      and it
