Half Moon And Half Word

 

When dreams are beautifully woven,

braids of rainbows full of hope,

even the sun hides behind them,

and silently lights up a life.

 

People, like clouds, keep running,

sometimes white, sometimes black;

strangely, they even pierce the sky,

and slide like rain into streams.

 

At times, they also turn into the moon,

half devoured by silence,

few, pale, withdrawn,

and they guard their words in hiding.

 

And you walk through your own dreams,

there you find joy like a goddess;

this life seems so futile

when you seek weight from others.

 

One dream, a half-moon,

one fragile word, a half,

runs deep within the soul,

and awakens on ivory shores.

 

Hungry Among People…

 

Embraced by light, dreams screamed at the stars, starving

seeking a little sparkle, trapped in false horizons.

Alone, words walked barefoot

in the deserts of a wounded soul;

thirst, an unquenched hunger for freedom among the maddened people.

 

Dreams stammered deadly truths, for a bit of hope,

feeding the insatiable with the light of the soul every morning.

Under the sounds of sirens, they called for peace, trapped among stars,

in a world hidden behind the sun, in a forgotten world…

 

Mute words stayed hung; at night they turned into neon lights,

awakening those, the dead of the day, who with dreams slept until late at night.

Who knows, why did they trade day for night?

Maybe there they quenched the hunger for an endless dream.

 

Try, My Daughter

 

Try, my daughter, to fill the cells of your heart with beats of happiness,

and your eyes with butterflies of hope, with pride of a mother.

To weave dreams of braids in the cradle where freedom rocks.

 

Try, daughter, to strengthen strong muscles in this life,

to carry the entire sky upon them, with clouds, downpours, and storms,

and never to fall into the lake of loneliness.

 

Try, daughter, to walk alongside the sun,

to feel the burning heat of love,

but never to burn beside it.

Try to fill the moon with the light of your eyes,

for there, daughter, are my eyes too.

 

There shines a piece of my soul that raised you with galloping steps,

so that today you illuminate and give wings to your mother’s heart.

 

Try, daughter, never forget that fragile smile,

which, when spoken from your lips, brings me to life.

You are the one who renews it for me every moment.

 

Try, daughter, to shape life, even when it gets scratched

or breaks like crystal,

with the claws of love and resurrect it on the shore of peace.

 

Try, my daughter, to love the unseen as well,

seeking distant angels of kindness,

and I will be a warm hand among them,

a warm shawl of love.
