MOONLIGHT
 
Come
sit
with me
on this bench
and watch the moonlight
watch how grey clouds drift in silence
gracing glow of moonlight in majestic ambience.
Earth awake, dancing in fluorescent shimmer of light
embraces the moonlight above
with humility
sacrosanct
cosmic
in
trust.
 
 
 
Believing (Haiku)
 
Believing myself
I rise and shine every day:
Sun my impetus.
 
 
 
HUNGER
 
Where children reach the border now unknown
Their tattered rags on drench-soaked body ply;
And they glimpse at the prickling fence with frown
Unable to bare hunger, fear to cry.
 
Where children’s feet are blistered, severe pain
Is blunted by refuge they take, or die
Starving in Aleppo struggle in vain;
Unable to bear hunger, fear to cry.
 
Where children stand in the rain without choice,
They nurture faith, hope for sun in the sky;
And seek help for food to make them rejoice,
Unable to bear hunger, fear to cry.
 
Children without food fetch need for a voice,
And future, no matter the sacrifice.

Poesie di Rada Koleva – Genova   ДАЛИ Нощта проплаква тихо и тъжи , и бисерни валят капчуците … В мрака стича се , мълчи тъгата на щурците … В мрежи паяците спят и сънуват само вещици . Очите ми … Continue reading →
