Gert W. Knop Poet Tanka

Zukunftsträume/ Future Dreams / Futuro – Sueños (Sentanka)

Zweige der Sehnsucht
Sie biegen sich bis sie brechen
Im Dunkel der Zeit

Zukunftsräume wachsen oft
Aus dem schon Erlebten

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

Branches of desire
They bend until they brake
In darkness of time

Future dreams often grow 
From the already experienced

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

Ramas del deseo
Doblan hasta que rompen
En la oscuridad del tiempo

Futuro sueños a menudo crecen
Desde los ya experimentados

Carolyn Devonshire July 16, 2010 at 9:34 AM The branches remain as long as we still hang onto desire. At some point, though, the desire fades. Well stated, my friend! You are a master at the tanka form, Gert. Love, Carolyn
