Erdbeben/Earthquake/Terremoto

Wiesen im Wellengang
Bäume wiegen  sich hin und her
Wieder bebt die Erde

--------------------------------------

Meadows in fast motion
Trees bend and swing to and fro
Again the earth quakes

--------------------------------------


Praderas en oleaje
Árboles bullen de aquí para allá
La tierra tembla de nuevo

Brilliant description, Gert. We have been seeing so many earthquakes lately and these images make me think of the 2012 prophecies. (I think I'm beginning to get the hang of Spanish thanks to your translations.) Love, Carolyn

How interesting to say meadows in fast motion. Unique one, Gert!

Reminds me a where I live. California is prone to earthquake. I could just about feel the tremors. Good write, Gert. Keep writing. Caroline.
