Pandanuss/Screwpine/Pándano --Die Stille Der Nacht/The Silence of Night/El Silencio De La Noche

Vor Himmel und Meer
Wie Inseln auf weißem Sand
Schatten des Pandanuss

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

Before sky and sea
Like islands on white sands 
Shadow of screwpines

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


Enfrente de cielo y mar
Como islas sobre arena blanca
La sombra del pándano


___________________________


Die Stille der Nacht
Wie bunte Blütenträume
Im erholsamen Schlaf

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

The silence of night
Like colourful flowering dreams
In a relaxing sleep 

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

El silencio de la noche
Como sueños de flores colorados
En un sueño reposado

I love the smell of pandan leaves! We actually include that in cooking our rice since it gives off a wonderful hint of taste as well & we have this dessert, Buko Pandan, made with young coconut meat, coconut cream & jelly infused with pandan leaves, added with sago pearls--yummy :) now I'm craving for that :) enjoyed your poem as always :)

Gentle images in both haikus, Gert. And the melodies work well in all three languages! Love, Carolyn
