Abendruhe/ Evening Silence/ Tranquilidad De La Noche

Ruhe kehrt ein In dieser lauen Sommernacht Schon schläft die Natur Die leeren Strassen sind einsam Nur Sterne streuen ihr Licht ------------------------------------- Silence is returning In this mild summer night Nature sleeps already The empty streets are lonely Only stars spreading their light ------------------------------------ La tranquilidad vuelve En esta noche suave de verano Ya duerme la naturaleza Las calles vacías son solitarios Sólo estrellas difunden su luz

Hey, I will have to try your way of cooking brussel sprouts. I like them but my husband is so funny, I always make hime eat at least one when I cook them, he will cut them up as small as he can and it takes him all meal to eat one. LOL the way you cook them might be better for him.

Nature does seem to nap at night, Gert. And though the streets may appear lonely, I see stars as seams in the fabric of heaven through which our loved ones smile down upon us to let us know they are happy. I never really feel lonely when there are stars shining above. Such a lovely, tanka, my friend. Thanks so much for sharing. Love, Carolyn
