½ Dialogue

 

More often than not, poems are monologues, but they always have their inspiration and thus almost always constitute ½ a dialogue. Sometimes, however, when reading a poem, the poet wants to add something to the content it contains: - to elaborate on a thought or to present his or her own view on the topic raised - by responding with a poem of his or her own.

Copyright, however, does not allow for the presentation of the poem to which it refers. It therefore gives the name of the author and the title of the poem to which it refers. The reader, the Reader may or may not find it, after all, we usually only get to know ½ of the dialogue in the poem, because that's how it is:

 

½ Dialogue

 

Sometimes the lyricist

talks to himself,

when he sings to himself,

but if the Muses

- answers he waits

- perhaps even then

when To Marcus Aurelius

 - he wrote.

Because poems flow like a river

that chats with the banks

and with a fish that swims against the current.

In such a conversation,

the stream merges with the stream.

In green woods the dialogue goes on

but in books of poems - the reader

 will only catch half of it,

but if the reader, sensitive to the word

will hear what the poet whispers,

if this whisper stirs his heart and thoughts

add to your words

what is playing in his soul

and there will be an intimate.

 

In Spite Of The Grey

 

In response to the poem written by

Agnieszka Czarnojan 'Grey'.

 

The poet wrote: "Let the living not lose hope...".

After all, after grey and night,

a new day is coming

it often brings with it changes,

that even philosophers could not imagine in their dreams,

even to philosophers.

Before going to sleep take a deep breath

and grey thoughts far away

after all, this is Advent

and in it we also hope

that not only in Bethlehem

a star will shine.

And perhaps our hands

- in a heartfelt embrace.

Riposta

 

To the poem

Nguyễn Thạnh "Van Traci Dat"["Weight of the Earth"].

"Weigh the books written by men".

 

And I weigh, all the books

written by women,

because in them there is a tenderness of feeling

And thought linked to the rhythm of the beating heart.

In them there is sometimes an immeasurable longing,

for what is far away

and like a sunny ray,

brings a bit of warmth.

It Is Not A Sin

 

In reply to the poem,

written by Aldona Jańczak

"Where have the tears gone"

 

Sorrow and tears when loved ones leave

- into the unknown distance,

their laments and tears will not resurrect them,

For they have already dried up

and "no longer want to flow",

but their absence

- is not a sin.

For those who leave for a while

- into the unknown distance,

and whom we shall meet,

when the time comes

are still alive

- as long as the memory lasts.

It would be a sin to forget;

From beneath eyelids already dry,

the disappearance of an image,

the impossibility of conversation on waking

and in dreams.

But where still within ourselves,

we see their faces

-that their lives continue.

Though grief does not pass.

Though grief does not pass.

Not The Robe Of Jesus

To Sew We Need

 

An addendum to the poem written by:

Sudhakar Gaidhani "Shroud of Jesus"

 

It is not the garment of Jesus that we need to stitch up,

but to restore our faith in his

bodily existence,

to understand His presence:

care and love for everyone

even to the one who

at Him.

To have the courage like Him

to speak the truth honestly,

to be born again within ourselves.

Not to clothe us with tears

Nor stitch us up with nails from the cross tree,

Not grief and compassion,

but to imitate both deeds and words.

In imitation, however, remain ourselves.

Despite This...

 

To a poem written by Mary Grace Gonzales

"One day"

 

Each, each of us must pass away one day,

after all we have mortal bodies,

But only they

change their forms,

when their time is mine.

But everything exists,

in that which was the cause,

just like the genes of the parents,

in every born being,

So we remain in that,

something of ourselves

born of ourselves,

clothed in matter,

like a sculptor into wood or stone,

an architect into spatial structures,

the poet into letters folded onto paper,

And each in what he has created

despite the death of the body

- lives on.

In the memory of others, we leave traces,

if we were karma for existence,

in it we remain as genes

in future generations,

the content that binds them to what

what is and passes.
