Ogni giorno è diverso dall’altro, ogni alba porta con sè il suo speciale miracolo, il suo istante magico, in cui si distruggono gli universi passati e nascono nuove stelle. I Navajo,infatti, insegnano ai loro bambini che ogni mattina il sole che sorge e’ un sole nuovo. Nasce ogni giorno, vive solo per quel giorno, muore alla sera e non ritornera’ piu’. Dicono ai loro piccoli: Il sole ha solo questo giorno, un giorno. Vivi bene la tua vita in modo che il sole non abbia sprecato il suo tempo prezioso.

The things that make us different

Are things that make us the same

We don’t share a first

Or even a last name

 

You don’t dress the way that I do

And my music hurts your ears

But as the earth is spinning

We share all seasons and years

 

Listen to my story

I want to hear all yours too

 

Then maybe at the end you’ll see

I’m just the same as you. . .

" I was born on the holy ground,

Running wild and free,

Across wide meadows by the stream,

Between the mountains and the sea,

 

I grew up there in boyhood days,

Filled with sights and sounds,

My roots run deep here in the clay,

Upon this hallowed ground,

 

Our children came in the early years,

They ran wild but not so free,

For the meadows gone and the stream lies still,

Between the mountains and the sea,

 

Now I am old and not so wise.

As I am supposed to be,

And the nights draw in and the wind blows cold,

Between the mountains and the sea,

 

I was born on this holy ground.

And once ran wild and free,

Across wild meadows by the stream,

Between the mountains and the sea "

Macro Mondays - Book

Love Poem 2 is a macro photograph of an anthurium.

Poem

From the short and intense evening,

your light seeps into my face,

the smell of your hair is strong

like the smell of the sea

Enjoy your weekend!

Love Poem is a macro photograph of an anthurium.

In the minds of mad men

Echoes the darkness of wars,

And in that dark grows the

Media images of death and destruction.

 

And from the shade of our limitations,

we will scream into the void, peace and freedom, then close our eyes and pray, his,

is not the hand that stops the ticking clock.

 

When the bidding is done, the madness will stop, but only for a while, and we will try and release this Dove with a broken wing, and call it peace.

 

Words by, Broken Beacon.

Spring has returned.

The earth is like a child

that knows poems.

Every morning

the world

is created.

Under the orange

 

sticks of the sun

the heaped

ashes of the night

turn into leaves again

 

and fasten themselves to the high branches–

and the ponds appear

like black cloth

on which are painted islands

 

of summer lilies.

If it is your nature

to be happy

you will swim away along the soft trails

 

for hours, your imagination

alighting everywhere.

And if your spirit

carries within it

 

the thorn

that is heavier than lead–

if it’s all you can do

to keep on trudging–

 

there is still

somewhere deep within you

a beast shouting that the earth

is exactly what it wanted–

 

each pond with its blazing lilies

is a prayer heard and answered

lavishly,

every morning,

 

whether or not

you have ever dared to be happy,

whether or not

you have ever dared to pray.

  

~ Mary Oliver.

Lies waiting a spark, to invigorate a flame

A spark pervasive, in darkness always

Every atom advancing, perpetual in ethereal waves

Every Sun an atom and every atom a sun

Though candles are different, with same fire they burn

Like atoms of life of vain personalities

Every living being, deriving motivating force

From the living ocean of power, the unlimited source

All bodies are mine, one and same consciousness pervading

'Beyond' is just what the senses can't perceive

This is my favourite poem by Joseph Freiherr von Eichendorff:

Schläft ein Lied in allen Dingen, die da träumen fort und fort, Und die Welt fängt an zu singen, Triffst du nur das Zauberwort

This is my TRANSLATION:

There sleeps a song in all things that are dreaming on and on, and the world starts singing when you only find the magic word.

Happy Caturday 11.1.2020 "Poem"

 

Nik Silver efex pro 2

 

A poem from Mr. Goethe:

 

Zum Fressen geboren, zum Kraulen bestellt

in Schlummer verloren gefällt mir die Welt.

Ich schnurr' auf dem Schoße, ich ruhe im Bett

in lieblicher Pose, ob schlank oder fett.

 

So gelte ich allen als göttliches Tier, sie stammeln

und lallen und huldigen mir, liebkosen mir

glücklich den Bauch, Öhrchen und Tatz

ich wählte es wieder, das Leben der Katz.

 

translated by deepl.com:

 

Born to eat, ordered to crawl

lost in slumber I like the world.

I purr on your lap, I rest in bed

in a lovely pose, whether slim or fat.

 

So I am considered to all as a divine animal, they stammer

and slur and worship me, caress me

happy belly, ears and paw

I chose it again, the life of a cat.

 

Happy Caturday! :-)

This first edition of the poems of Nathan Lanesford Foster was printed and bound in 1841 in the print shop in Philadelphia where my great-great-great grandfather worked at the time.

 

For those of you who know Philly: the print shop was located in what is now the 'Old City' section of Philadelphia, near the Betsy Ross House and Independence Hall.

 

More modern editions of this volume are available at select booksellers:

HMM!

Oh my sweet legacy, my undeniable mistake,

We all must wade through a pit of hell, before the fallen of fate,

I trudged and tried to fly, but then regained my step,

I laugh at my misjudgements, Of promises and trust not kept,

Your stubborn and lying eyes, showed deceit and total destruction,

As you ripped apart my soul, my heart a careless abduction,

My lips now twitch in a grin, the forlorn face no longer appears,

My complete resurrection and strength reborn, I now live on the blood of your tears,

I grow stronger with every ache, I know you one day will feel,

For your loss and your horrific ways, have lost what once was real,

My esteem now blooms in thoughts of my overcoming ways,

It proves my once weakened state, Now something of previous days,

I pity your pathetic state, Your broken promises and death of tomorrow,

But my pity stops only there, for I no longer feel any sorrow,

May your karma be 10 times fold, but only to allow you to learn,

For in this place we call earth, a certain hell still truly shall burn,

So walk fast and be steady, for your insolent behavior has taught me this,

It is best to not get lost in a web of lies, and lose yourself in a depressed abyss,

As much as I let the fires burn, turning my once bright eyes to coal,

My happiness and success grows,

The ultimate revenge is the mending of my unbiding and blackened soul,

For now I leave with this, a sweet and dark good bye,

You may have harmed and broken me, but I am now to far along to cry.

It is a morning full of storms

in the heart of summer.

 

The clouds travel like white handkerchiefs bidding farewell,

the wind shakes them with its wandering hands.

 

Innumberable heart of the wind

beating upon our loving silence.

 

Buzzing amongst the trees, orquestral and divine,

like a language full of wars and songs.

 

A wind that swiftly steals away the fallen leaves

and deflects the beating arrows of the birds.

 

A wind that strikes her down in a foamless wave

and weightless substance, and fires bowing down.

 

It breaks and submerges its volume of kisses

fought at the gate of the summer wind.

my dreams are filled with

abandoned places and

closed doors

and

realms that can't be explained in the real world.

and often,

I am curled up into a ball while Lewis screams in the background,

and still,

the echo of silence

reverberates off the walls

until I find an open door-

and ignore it.

"I think that I shall never see a poem lovely as a tree"

Poem about Mac the Cat (inspired by me, written by ChatGPT)

 

Mac the cat, so ginger and old,

Sits atop the fence, quiet and bold.

In Munich town, his home and place,

He watches the world with gentle grace.

 

Though he cannot meow anymore,

His spirit shines, like never before.

For Mac is calm and friendly too,

And always happy to see me and you.

 

With each pat and stroke of his fur,

We feel his warmth, so soft and pure.

And though he cannot speak a word,

His eyes and purrs make us assured.

 

Assured that in this world so fast,

There's still some peace that's meant to last.

And Mac the cat, with his friendly ways,

Shows us the joy in simpler days.

 

So here's to Mac, the old ginger cat,

May his days be long and full of that

Warmth and love he brings each day,

To brighten up our human way.

It is a willow when summer is over,

a willow by the river

from which no leaf has fallen nor

bitten by the sun

turned orange or crimson.

The leaves cling and grow paler,

swing and grow paler

over the swirling waters of the river

as if loth to let go.

 

- William Carlos Williams

The morns are meeker than they were,

The nuts are getting brown;

The berry's cheek is plumper,

The rose is out of town.

 

The maple wears a gayer scarf,

The field a scarlet gown.

Lest I should be old-fashioned,

I'll put a trinket on.

 

By Emily Dickinson, 1862

Poems Of The Atoms — Armand Amar

 

youtu.be/si6rLeYU5BQ?si=o3z_wtnXWcnESZeV

  

O day, arise! The atoms are dancing.

The souls are dancing, overcome with ecstasy.

I'll whisper in your ear where their dance is taking them.

All the atoms in the air and in the desert know well, they seem insane.

Every single atom, happy or miserable,

Becomes enamoured of the sun, of which nothing can be said.

I WILL NOT GO OUT GENTLY INTO THE NIGHT---DYLAN THOMAS

Another Sunday, another poem. First the English Translation, then the German original. Have a wonderful day!

 

Mist Over the River

 

The river drifts so still, so mild,

and carries dreams where they’ve been filed.

Tell me, what will lie ahead?

Words the wind has softly shed.

 

A silver mist wraps all around,

it makes the distant small, profound.

And though no eye can clearly see,

the current whispers: “Go on, be free…”

 

Each wave speaks gently, calm and true:

Each morning grants a power new.

And in the haze, the heart still knows:

The river softly, quietly flows.

 

Here the Original:

 

Nebel über dem Fluss

 

Der Fluss zieht still und sanft dahin,

und trägt die Träume fort darin.

Sag mir, was wird vor uns liegen?

Worte, die im Wind verfliegen.

 

Ein Silbernebel hüllt uns ein,

er macht das Ferne sanft und klein.

Denn auch wenn keiner klar es sieht,

der Strom uns flüstert: "Geht weiter, zieht..."

 

Jede Welle sagt uns sacht:

Jeder Morgen schenkt neue Macht.

Und in dem Dunst das Herz noch weiß:

Der Fluss fließt still, der Fluss fließt leis.
