Argomento: Faith
Feel the wind on your cheeks
they burn
the rain comes down fast
washes you
as you step forward
unto
promising roads
smiling

the elements, no mind them;
poaring down on ya
the elements, they can't get you
down

Nothing can get you down;
when you keep smiling to the rain..

The Red Sea parted
you can walk straight through

Faith is carrying you!

Argomento: My thoughts for you...
barren ground and icy twigs
hard stones and still creeks

fragile

got touched
layers
so soft, but heavy

got burried

deep

dark
all lights out

within

and forever

it seems forever

barren ground and icy twigs
hard stones and still creeks

lay covered
and hidden

until
slowly and careful

layers got peeled
like unions

by many
a lil warmth

each minute
each day, month, year
a lil more

continuously
a lil more
warmth

deliberately
touchin'

each moment
a lil more

until

barren grounds
start blooming

icy twigs
blossom

hard stones
sparkle like diamonds

and

still creeks
develop to lively waters

like your
fragile,
beautiful hearts

For my friends here and in real who suffer, who are hangin' in there, whose beautiful hearts feels like stone; who feels burried and hidden - like underneath the current snow in winter; they will blossom again in their springtime...

With love,
~*Radiant 34*~

Lay down O heart
be still and calm
rest in earth arms so warm, but:

be ready for wonders, surprises and charm!

For unto us on Christmas day
a child is born for you today,

a Savior reaches out for hearts
that lay there in sadness

awaiting; lonely..

O, He is True
and waits for you;
he will never let you down

see how His Love's shown...

Hope your Heart'll be blessed on
this Christmas Day
and the year to come full off wonders may..

*tears in my eyes... so true Linda ~ however I must say I know of people who think that way and feel that way.. my Mom spoke that way the other day and it made me feel so desperate.... how to make her understand? Guess, I write this poem for her on a card, for her to behold and to keep it close to her heart, whenever she feels that lonely again... Thanks, Linda!

Argomento: Thanksgiving
by Jack Prelutsky

The turkey shot out of the oven
and rocketed into the air.
It knocked every plate off the table
and partly demolished a chair.

It ricocheted into a corner
and burst with a deafening boom;
Then splattered all over the kitchen,
completely obscuring the room.

It stuck to the walls and the windows;
it totally coated the floor.
There was turkey attached to the ceiling
where there'd never been turkey before.

It blanketed every appliance;
it smeared every saucer and bowl.
There wasn't a way I could stop it;
that turkey was out of control!

I scraped and I scrubbed with displeasure
and thought with chagrin as I mopped;
That I'd never again stuff a turkey
with popcorn that hadn't been popped.

Argomento: Hermoupoli
Wish I could write this in Greek, but my keyboard doesn´t fit.. hehehehe

Hermoupoli

Time is lulled by the music of the waters
And time blossoms at the root of your rocks.
And you, unexpected city of white and ochre,
you expect your damp memories
to the wind of the Aegean Sea and the unchanging light
And the calm sea cradles you
in my heart.

Hope (Alan Stivell)

Our feet tread down the same ground
Each of us lofty and weak
Sharing pride and fear,

Ireland always sends strength to heart
By songs of battle or peaceful tunes
Ireland always sends strenght to heart
And we´ll do our duty: protecting the heritage,
And the winds of Scotland sing strong in our skies
Giving hope and joy to our kinly nation
And the winds of Wales blow long and loud
Colouring the dream into reality,

A uniform world
Or in a million pieces
Somewhere in between we can still live.

That was beautiful, Anon! :-)

awwww, couldn´t have said it any better, yet trying - L:)L

cannot find any word to express it more,
and more,
the core
of friendship online;
shivers down my spine...

for this world; for others unknown
but yet words reflects for us a known

reality

like a mirror

I often think of the blind
touching others face in order to find
their soul,
their spirit

their true self


Thank You my friends for letting me be a part of your day for a while,
with either a tear or a smile,
a big laughter or a hoot;
each time its doing me good!

Argomento: No umbrella for me ;o)
Yes.. it has begun..
first small drops, hesitating in touching the pavement..
there came yet no steam off the pavement, but I think the pavement must have thought:
"Hey! Whats that? What is touching me there so wet?? Long time no feel!" lol
Meanwhile..
the people took their umbrella´s out and coats, while I thought:
"Hey! Whats that? Whats touching me on my face, hair, clothes, feet so light, but wet? Whats that trying to say "hi"? Long time no feel! Lets enjoy - no umbrella for me!!"

;o)))

Argomento: Ensemble (Understand)
English translation of this Breton poem, written by Alan Stivell

Ensemble (Understand)

The heart of another can be felt by all
Deep down, all men are alike
To know the source of man´s heart is unchanging
Makes the exchange of idea´s possible
We must understand what others are really saying
We don´t always hear what they tell us

Eventually, we´ll have to get on, and live together
While each remains himself, so goes life

Indistincly, we hear what we want to believe in another´s words
Each time we remain deaf to this, evil sprouts among us
We can´t stay indifferent when injustice brings havoc
We must awaken consciousness both inner and outer.

Eventually we´ll have to get on, and live together
While each remains himself, so goes Life.

Argomento: OK Usurper :-).... here you go:
one of my first poems written in English :-)

Hereby I send you a breath from the sea:

10000 crickets
a bit of air stirring,
the salty air
and the warmth of the evening sun.

a swimmer rolling on the waves
a trotting horse along the shore.

the warm red colours of the sunset
and the opposite, the moon: gold, almost full.

the waves slowly rolling
ending up on the sand
their rustle sound is gentle
its water gives and takes back again

in motion: its own rhytme...

I watch this game of waves
and notice that this soon makes me feel at ease

and
slowly, real slowly
we become one:

this breath from the sea and me..

Argomento: The dark night of the soul
The dark night of the soul

Upon a darkened night
the flame of love was burning in my breast
And by a lantern bright
I fled my house while all in quiet rest

Shrouded by the night
and by the secret star I quickly fled
The veil concealed my eyes
while all within lay quiet as the dead

Oh night thou was my guide
oh night more loving than the rising sun
Oh night that joined the lover
to the beloved one
transforming each of them into the other

Upon that misty night
in secrecy, beyond such mortal sight
Without a guide or light
than that which burned so deeply in my heart

That fire t´was led me on
and shone more bright than of the midday sun
To where he waited still
it was a place where no one else could come

Oh night thou was my guide
oh night more loving than the rising sun
Oh night that joined the lover
to the beloved one
transforming each of them into the other

Within my pounding heart
which kept itself entirely for him
He fell into his sleep
beneath the cedars all my love I gave
From o´ver the fortress walls
the wind would brush his hair against his brow
And with its smoothest hand
caressed my every sense it would allow

Oh night thou was my guide
oh night more loving than the rising sun
Oh night that joined the lover
to the beloved one
transforming each of them into the other

I lost myself to him
and laid my face upon my lovers breast
And care and grief grew dim
as in the mornings mist became the light
There they dimmed amongst the lilies fair
There they dimmed amongst the lilies fair
There they dimmed amongst the lilies fair
