Ein Kalter Mond/ a Cold Moon/ Una Luna Fría

Von oben ein kalter Mond Vergießt schon fahl sein weißes Licht Auf junge Tannenspitzen Wildschweine graben im Boden Nach frischen zarten Wurzeln ------------------------------------------- A cold moon from above Spills its white pale light already Upon young fir tips Wild pigs are digging the soil For fresh and tender roots ------------------------------------------- De encima una luna fría Derrame ya su luz pálida y fría Sobre joven puntas de abetos Cerdos salvajes cavaron en el suelo Por raices frescas y tiernas

Great one, Gert. I don't know how that I missed it..Are there wild hogs in Germany?..Those animals can be very mean..Do you suppose that they found any of those mushrooms that are so valuable? Sara

Ooh, how I love that thought of a "cold moon"...really wonderful images pop into mind here, Gert & hmm by any chance would those pigs be searching for truffles too?? Never had the privilege of tasting these mushrooms though & thanks for your comments on my tiramisu--I actually have a picture of it in my profile if you want to see :) & I have experimented a bit on Italian cooking, Mediterranean not yet but that sounds soo delicious too! --nikko :)

Your ability to capture nature is enthralling, Gert. Thank you for sharing these "journeys" with us. Love, Carolyn
