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.

rose from the depths

mountains, nebulae, oceans

in the infinity nest

they became a silvery and golden echo from afar

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.

Love Poem is a macro photograph of an anthurium.

" 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 "

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!

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.

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.

On the pillars is a poem couplet written by Yu Da Fu, aptly describing Haw Par Villa then.

 

In the quietness of the hills amidst the rolling white clouds

 

There stand a bright glorious house like blossoming flower petals

 

You can see the vast and clear blue ocean

 

And grazes into the and ripples of the sea waves in the far horizon

Every morning

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 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.

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:

In real life, the horizontal dimension of the photo is about 2.5" (6.3cm)

 

HMM!

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

In darkness let me dwell; the ground shall sorrow be,

The roof despair, to bar all cheerful light from me;

The walls of marble black, that moist'ned still shall weep;

My music, hellish jarring sounds, to banish friendly sleep.

Thus, wedded to my woes, and bedded in my tomb,

O let me living die, till death doth come, till death doth come.

 

My dainties grief shall be, and tears my poisoned wine,

My sighs the air through which my panting heart shall pine,

My robes my mind shall suit exceeding blackest night,

My study shall be tragic thoughts sad fancy to delight,

Pale ghosts and frightful shades shall my acquaintance be:

O thus, my hapless joy, I haste to thee.

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.

“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

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.

The River - Bruce Springsteen

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"

On the Nature of Daylight | Max Richter

 

youtu.be/rVN1B-tUpgs?si=ahixRyG9NaNI-ijc

 

I applaud thee,

pretenders in shadows lurking creating your persona seconda at will,

effortless without commandeering believable

by most but still not true to heart,

the beating heart in you is not

but I applaud thee for keeping it up

 

@ behind-the-vail-of-sanity

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

for everyone who has lost someone that they care about i have written this hope you like it. jean

She often forgot that her body (like all of ours) was a house of sand.

That it had been and was crumbling.

That it slipped tirelessly through her fingers.

By Han Kang, Nobel Prize in Literature 2024.

(White ,2016)

 

Ella se olvidaba con frecuencia de que su cuerpo (como el de todos nosotros) era una casa de arena. De que había estado y estaba desmoronándose. De que se escurría incansable entre los dedos(Blanco, 2016)

Midjourney, watercolour, Venice

By Carmen Yáñez.

 

The tongues of water

spill over the valley beds.

The wounded earth

is relieved of its mourning.

 

Dawn breaks.

 

There are seeds, love,

even

beneath the secret of the dead hours.

 

Las lenguas del agua

se derraman sobre los lechos

del valle.

La tierra herida

se alivia de luto.

 

Amanece.

 

Hay semillas, amor,

aún

bajo el secreto de las horas muertas.

My artwork and poem showed at EMERGENT, the beautiful gallery of Ilyra Chardin.

 

"I know this ancient darkness

gray rooms foggy lights

maze of earthy caves

Claustrophobic funicular buildings

and doors suspended in a leaden sky

Loneliness of old warehouses

and mysterious presences

Here I am back

night mirror of the day

but this is no longer my world

Now I live in the sun and wind

without the need for wings"

It's not mine, this time.

And although that beating of birds outside in the garden is so mine,

their profusion in small leaves, stirring me

like intimations,

it no longer says the same thing.

 

I wake up

like someone who hears obscene breathing.

It's dawn.

By Jaime Gil Biedma.

 

No es el mío, este tiempo.

 

Y aunque tan mío sea ese latir de pájaros

afuera en el jardín,

su profusión en hojas pequeñas, removiéndome

igual que intimaciones,

no dice ya lo mismo.

 

Me despierto

como quien oye una respiración obscena.

Es que amanece.
