Ruf Der Kraniche/ Call of the Cranes/El Grito De Las Grullas

Aus weiter Ferne Ertönt der Ruf der Kraniche Am späten Mittag Über den Wiesen am Wald Liegt noch milchig der Nebel ---------------------------------------- From a far distance Sounds the call of the cranes Late at midday Over the meadows near the woods Still lingers the milky fog ---------------------------------------- Suena de lejanía El grito de las grúas Por tarde mediodía Sobre prados del bosque Aún queda lechoso niebla

Dear Gert, there seems to be a loneliness eminating in the cries of these distant cranes. I can almost hear them as their song dances on the fog. Beautiful imagery, my friend. I am safe in New Jersey now and glad to be reading your wonderful poetry again. Love, Carolyn

Loved your imagery here, Gert...It sounds so peaceful ... PS: My native language is Romanian, since your know Spanish you should understand a few words in my language because they both are Latin languages. For example 'Buenos dias' is 'Buna ziua' in Romanian:) Have a great day! Emilia
