AGRON SHELE

 

 

To Mother

 

I cannot see or guess

The stairs you are descending into the darkness

But I know about peace coming down to your soul

And you are surely traveling to the skies.

 

 

Infinity

 

A moment of unrestrained desire

on those white shores,

where a single wave rises

and spills into the abyss,

like the effort of a final breath

of pain dispersed in the memory of a restless sea.

 

A moment, where touch becomes sublime

in the eternal encounter;

of the stoic shore

and the spray scattered in a roar

of the eyes of Circe

of the forgotten island of an Ithaca ever more distant.

 

Lost ships

decades in sailing to reach the shore,

and sorrowful eyes

beneath the trembling of seagulls that conquer the waters and the sky.

 

Spring Is Knocking At The Door

 

Spring is knocking at the door

another season rising upon winter's wounds

with trees lifting their heads to the gray sky

somewhere,

exposed to the Moon's nakedness beneath the cloud

melted snow in the trunk

and mad wind swaying the leaves down under the earth.

 

Spring is knocking at the door

with violets rising from the depths

to bring another time

and a ray to shine above all skies.

 

Come, season of flowers

bloom and let the orchids open with all their splendor

upon body and soul,

as joy of trembling spirits

beauty reborn for wounded wings.

 

Spring is knocking at the door

will also return the migration of birds,

there where troubles touch the tight embraces

and here, where they can find peace again.

 

Spring is knocking at the door,

like bloom that will green the earth

push dreams even more into the silent memories,

like a psalm and hope

a blackbird filled with the colors of the whole world!!!

 

Come spring

with the plow of *Kadmus's seeds sow tomorrow

for those who never stopped,

understood that we are but an imagination of *God's forms

brought to your eternal breeze!!!!!!!!!
