Zerbrechlich/ Fragile/ Frágil

Augenblicke zerinnen 
in Einsamkeit,
zerbrechlich,
Hauch des Zweifels,
zerbrechlich, 
wie Meißner Porzellan,
vergangener Tage.


Hingestreute Gedanken,
verloren in kurzen Sätzen,
Vergangenes ausgestreut
und vergessen.
Zerbrechliche Zukunft,
lautloser Horizont,
Meeresstille im Windschatten.


Vergangene Tage,
zerbrechlich wie Morgentau.
Gegenwart aufgeschlagen
im Buch der Stille,
Tagträume,
vergessen im Abendrot.

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

Moments dwindle
in fragile isolation, 
a touch of doubt, 
fragile, 
as Dresden china, 
of past days. 

Strewn thoughts, 
lost in short sentences, 
the past scattered 
and forgotten. 
Fragile future, 
silent horizon, 
calm sea in the lee. 

Past days, 
fragile as morning dew.
Presence opened in the book of silence, 
daydreams, 
forgotten in the afterglow.

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

Momentos disminuyen 
en soledad,
frágil,
en un tono dubitativo,
frágil, 
como porcelana de Sajonia, 
de días pasados.

Pensamientos esparcidos,
perdido en frases cortas,
el pasado esparcido
y olvidado.
Frágil futuro,
horizonte silencioso, 
mar en calma a sotavento.

Días pasados,
frágil como el rocío de la mañana.
El presente abierto
en el libro del silencio, 
los sueños del día,
olvidado en el anochecer

Even though you beat us in the football (again!!), and we had a goal disallowed, I still love your poem very much ;) It has such a delicate feel, so fitting with your title. It's very beautiful ~ Sharon :) (ps we didn't deserve to win, we played badly, congrats to your team)

Yes, memories can be lost in the store house way down there somewhere...Sometimes they return and sometimes they don't ..Those that we wish would go away stay with us..Sara

Thoughts of both the past and future can make us feel fragile -- vulnerable to intense emotions. Yet, there is a sense of calmness in your remarkable poem, Gert. This is the type of perspective that comes with maturity, isn't it? We know thoughts may hurt us, but we grow accustomed to accepting the pain in these quiet moments. Excellent writing, my friend. Love, Carolyn
