Aber könnte die Rose uns betrachten,
ertrügen wir dann ihr stilles Schau'n?
Wär'n wir geduldig, uns ihren sachten
ernsten Blicken anzuvertrau'n?
Dass wir unter ihrem Augenlicht
dann nicht unseren Farben entsagen,
um in offener Hand und klarem Gesicht
das innere Blühen zu tragen.
Wenn wir uns am eigenen Dorn nicht verletzen,
atmen wir Melodien aus in die Luft,
welche die Rosen-Sinne benetzen
und die Gerechte riecht den echten Duft.
Der Mensch will der Rose Schönheit sehen,
sie gierig mit den Augen fassen,
aber den Rosen-Sinn kann er erst verstehen,
ist er bereit, sich von ihr erkennen zu lassen.
Painting Poesy
In their new project, "Duo Flying Tree - Painting Poesy," the duo expands their artistic activities beyond music. Stephanie Lepp has been drawing and painting since early childhood, while Levan Andria has been engaged with poetry for years – now they combine both and inspire each other.
For their first "Painting Poesy" releases, the two musicians have created an "Eternal Calendar" in which there are 12 inspiring pictures and poems to discover, as well as a poetry collection "Der Garten der Gegenwarten" with 15 poems and watercolor drawings.
Eternal Calendar
At the beginning of 2023, Stephanie Lepp and Levan Andria, alongside their musical careers, set themselves the artistic challenge of creating a poem and an image each month throughout the year. A common theme emerged each month, which the two artists then explored artistically, each in their own individual style yet connected by the theme, until the end of each month. The result of this inspiring project: an eternal calendar – for unforgettable moments, birthdays, thoughts.

Poetry Collection
The poetry collection was created during an intense summer period in which the two artists set themselves the task of consciously dedicating their attention to the wonders of their own garden and artistically depicting them. They were inspired by immediate natural motifs from their surroundings, resulting in a collection of "moments of presence" comprising 15 poems and 15 watercolor drawings. These works inspire and complement each other thematically, allowing readers to consider each theme from different artistic perspectives.
