Worte/ Words/ Palabras

Gebrochene Worte,
im Zeitengestrüpp gefangen,
wie Gesang vergangener Tage 

Zwischen den Zeilen liegt Hoffnung.
Der Glaube an die Zukunft
trägt herrliche Blüten

Ein Reigen im Mondlicht,
einsam wie verblassende Dämmerung
wirft keine Schatten

Kein Schweigen,
Stimmen hingestreut
im kühlen Morgentau

Worte verschwimmen
auf hellem Papier 
wie Eintagsfliegen nach langem Flug

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

Broken words,
caught in the undergrowth of time, 
like songs of  past days

Between the lines lies hope.
Faith in the future
carries marvelous blossoms

A round dance in the moonlight,
lonely like fading dusk
throws no shadows

No silence,
voices spread
in chilling  morning dew

Words become blurred
on bright paper 
like day flies after a long flight

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

Palabras rotas,
agarrado en la maleza de tiempo, 
como canciones de días pasados

Entre las líneas está la esperanza.
Fe en el futuro
lleva flores maravillosas

Un baile redondo en la luz de la luna,
solo como anochecer que se descolora
tira ningunas sombras

Ningún silencio,
las voces se extienden
en rocío de mañana glacial

Las palabras vienen difusos
en el papel brillante 
como cachipollas después de un vuelo largo

Gert, this is similar in message to a poem Caroline Cecile posted today. There are times when we have to look "between the lines" to find the truth in words. And I certainly want to believe that "faith in the future" will bring rewards. A lovely read in all three languages. "La luz de la luna" sounds so melodic and has terrific alliteration. Love, Carolyn
