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.

I do not want to stand

under quiet skies.

 

I want them filled with bird song,

the intertwining symphony

of life breathing life

singing life

 

I do not want silent trees

or Silent Springs

without the buzzing

of hummingbirds

or the whisper-flight of wrens.

 

The grass has held worm

for robins, warm-breasted

and numerous —as far

into my memory as I can search.

Where are the robins now?

I haven’t seen one in so long.

 

The Aves are in decline.

 

I do not want to live

in a world without birds.

Without the intricacies of color

the dapper dancing for mates

the delicate strength of wings

teaching us to soar above things,

to be light as the wind

and quick on our feet.

 

How can I soar on wings like eagles, Lord

if there are none to inspire

my soul to lift?

 

Who will announce the gift of sun

after rain? Who will skip on delicate

feet along the shoreline, or lift

their notes on wind and wing?

 

Who will bring morning?

 

Coming too soon —

artist renderings,

a cross-stitched Avocet

on white linen, framed,

picture books and stories

telling of days when the skies

were ablaze with a flurry

of swift flying creatures

— this is what we give

to the generations?

Tales of them?

 

Empty skies

and our

remorseful eyes?

 

I cannot live

in a world without birds.

 

— forgive us our trespasses

 

Poem written by Christina Ward

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 "

Love Poem 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

Time, just a bodily experience;

With the change of times...

Events unwarranted , undesirable

Mere glimpses as it appears,

Of ever-changing substance...

 

The viewer and the view

Change like a flicker

Every perception an illusion

Every perceiver the same

 

Certain is the state

Before birth and after death

Uncertain is the state

In between birth and death

 

Look at those changes

Like an entertainment

Scenes changing in a play

Queer, and a source of enjoyment

 

Open the inner eyes

Awaken the Soul

You are neither body nor a living being

Your power knows no bounds.

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.

Maybe I wasn't listening,

 

Or maybe you weren't saying anything important.

 

Either way.

 

I don't hear you.

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.

Ah vastness of pines, murmur of waves breaking,

slow play of lights, solitary bell,

twilight falling in your eyes, baby doll,

snail of the earth, in you the earth sings!

 

In you the rivers sing, and my soul in them flees

as you desire it, and you send it where you will.

Mark for me my road on your brows of hope

and I in my delirium will release the flock of arrows.

 

Around me I see your waist of fog

and your silence accosts my troubled hours,

and you are with your transparent arms of stones

where my kisses anchor and my damp desire nests.

 

Ah your mysterious voice that love colors and tolls

in the resonant and dying evening!

Thus in deep hours over the fields I have seen

the ears of wheat tolling in the mouth of the wind.

 

Pablo Neruda

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! :-)

I'll be away for a few days, everyone have a wonderful weekend!

Happy Autumn to you all!

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:

"Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of earth,

And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;

Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun-split clouds -

and done a hundred things You have not dreamed of -

wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence.

Hovering there I've chased the shouting wind along

and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air.

"Up, up the long delirious burning blue

I've topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace,

where never lark, or even eagle, flew;

and, while with silent, lifting mind I've trod

the high untrespassed sanctity of space,

put out my hand and touched the face of God."

 

John Gillespie Magee Jr.

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.

The poetically lovely dahlias are holding court in the gardens now. Marvels of symmetry, shapes and colors they brave the cold evenings to bask in the warm October sun.

 

And this, October 27th, 2014, would have been Dylan Thomas's 100th birthday.

 

"Poem in October" read by the poet: [www.youtube.com/watch?v=EnoHCSU5yn8}.

 

Have a wonderful week, everyone! :)

“Gardens are poems

Where you stroll with your hands in your pockets.

  

(Les jardins sont des poemes

Ou l'on se promene les mains dans les poches.)”

― Pierre Albert-Birot

Leaning into the afternoons I cast my sad nets

towards your oceanic eyes.

 

There in the highest blaze my solitude lengthens and flames,

its arms turning like a drowning man's.

 

I send out red signals across your absent eyes

that move like the sea near a lighthouse.

 

You keep only darkness, my distant female,

from your regard sometimes the coast of dread emerges.

 

Leaning into the afternoons I fling my sad nets

to that sea that beats on your marine eyes.

 

The birds of night peck at the first stars

that flash like my soul when I love you.

 

The night gallops on its shadowy mare

shedding blue tassels over the land.

 

Pablo Neruda

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

Here I am with you dear, no yesterday nor tomorrow

Hold on to my hand, close your eyes, see the glow

No stranger am I, or you, to this land

Got this birth, deputed, not for own lots to mend

 

See the green boughs stirred, by the gentle wind

Free the flowers dance, merrily they unwind

From interlocking leaves, by themselves, their own will

Never solitary you are here, why fear this lovely place

 

What is part of you, is part of everything around

See that part of whole, and the whole this Existence

The fire is always same, whatever makes it burn

Never does the light perish, nowhere does it go

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

This picture only needs a few lines of poem as a companion.

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.

dicen que las palabras del poema

son pájaros

que guardan

la conciencia de algunos girasoles

su otoño

y su mudanza

 

dicen

que beben lo profundo y lo pequeño

donde todo reposa

vientre

soledad

y búsqueda

 

dicen que con su prole de abortos

susurran

cada día una nueva invitación

por si acudieras

y tuvieras —oh— esa lengua de surcos

capaz de pronunciarlas

 

—shhh

son pájaros que guardan—.
