New Love

I have learned to dream again, dance cloud dances, wear a dress of sunset red, thirteen veils of air that swirl around me. It is raining flowers- why does nobody notice? I shake a few butterflies from my hair, smile at the old Chagall, and fly off to meet you. ********************************************** I wrote this poem in German when I had just fallen in love with the man who is now my husband. Translated it into English 30 years later.

Thanks for your kind words, Jan. I find it incredibly difficult to translate my poetry because there is inevitably something that does not survive the transition.
