Unspoken Words / Ungesprochene Worte (Sentanka)

Unspoken words
Only some strange thoughts prevail
In a drifting mind

Illusions of a better world
Presence soon becomes future

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

Ungesprochene Worte
Nur einige seltsame Gedanken
im unruhigen Geist

Illusionen einer besseren Welt
Gegenwart wird schnell Zukunft

Interesting and well written Senryu, Gert. Thought provoking too. Thanks for sharing and thank you for your very nice comments on my poems today and yes I play the piano and teach piano lessons. Indeed music has a power to heal a wounded spirit. Besten wünshe, Caroline.

Very true, Gert. In our "drifting minds" we long for that better world. The hopes and dreams carry us through troubled times. Love the way this translation is so easily understood by one who speaks only English. Love, Carolyn
