Flussufer/Riverbank/Ribera-Eine Alte Eiche/ An Old Oak Tree/Un Viejo Roble
Am Ufer des Flusses
Bevor die Sonne erlischt
Nur leichtes Gurgeln

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

At the river banks
Before the sun finally sets
Only a slight gurgle

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

A orillas del río 
Antes que el sol desaparece 
Sólo ligero gorgoteo

Nur eine alte Eiche
Da hinter der Wegbiegung
Trotzte dem letzen Sturm

Only an old oak tree 
There...

Whispers of An African River - Mana Pools National Park
Ripples of blue and silver dance
impala males jump and prance
In a land where imagination roams to and fro
and the waters of old eb and flows

Dust holds memories from near and far
The sky, escarpment, and water beat out a rhythm of 
The dreams of many, the...

Nightly Whisper/ Nächtliches Geflüster/ Susurro De Noche
Trough nightly whisper
A pale moon hides behind clouds
With dancing shadows

A far murmur from the woods
Soothing gurgle from the creek
-----------------------------------------
Nächtliches Flüstern
Ein fahler Mond hinter Wolken
Mit tanzenden Schatten

Ein fernes  Murmeln vom Wald
Ein sanftes Gluckern vom Bach
-----------------------------------------
Susurro Nocturno
Pálida luna detrás nubes 
Sombras bailando 

Murmullo lejano del bosque...

Die Rose/ the Rose/ La Rosa
Die Rose,
die im Stillen mir schon blühte,
vertrocknet war sie schnell im Morgenlicht.
Und auch ihr Duft,
verging zu schnell, 
Wie kurz geträumter Traum,
der leicht  zerbricht.

Wo dürre Zweige
sich verworren zeigen,
im Dickicht,
hinter frischem Grün,
zeigen sich Blüten bunt
im Farbenreigen,
bevor sie schnell 
im Sommerlicht verblühn.

Die Rose,
die ich meine,
sie blühte nur...

Night Desire/ Nachtwunsch/ Deseo De Noche
Sleep well my son
and soon night comes
to soothe you with your dreams.
The bright moon is
your nightly sun 
which shines with whitish gleams.
Shadows grow tiny now 
and hide behind the light
a new day brings you joy and fun
and makes your smile so bright.

Schlaf wohl, mein Sohn,
bald...

Fata Morgana
A deep and cloudless sky
Scourching vast coloured desert dunes
Behind some Bedouin tents

A fata morgana at the horizon
An unreal world faces the traveller
--------------------------------------------------

Ein tiefer  Himmel
Verbrennt endlose bunte Dünen
Hinter einigen Beduinenzelten

Eine Fata Morgana am Horizot
Unwirkliche Welt für den Reisenden...

Frigid weather with gritty graupels welcome winter.
	Rivulets of raucous rain freeze without cease or halt.
	Overly willful waterfalls splatter and splinter.
	Zealous spirits scatter shards with turbulent thrust fault 
	Emerging brush tips turn tourmaline in the hinter.
	Neither dream nor prayer can cease the arctic assault.

	Soon all within...

Bruecken
Ich sah wohl Gefühle - weit gereiste;
Träume hinter brüchigen Nebeln,
vereinsamt wie die stolzen Brücken
legten sie sich auf meine Sprache nieder,
als Gestrandete - verletzt im Verloren sein,
drückten sie in mir etwas nieder,
das nun einsam in den Kellern meiner Triebe kühl verweilt, 
wie all die Ungereimtheiten einer...

Premium Member Tales From the Hollow
In a windswept vale the tree had spread its branches
Its shale like trunk defined by weather had many wounds
One in particular had hollowed inside this stanchion
Braced against pervading skies and silk-watered lagoons
So clearly defined a hole inviting life to commune

A mansion for those seeking shelter...

Premium Member Special Moments By Grand Minter
A young man who wishes to remain a sound Atheist cannot be too careful of his reading. There are traps everywhere – “Bibles laid open, millions of surprises,” as Herbert says, fine nets and stratagems.” God is, if I may say it, very unscrupulous.

Ode On Hen
Let me say the earth with stones,

let nature pass and winds to follow,
the lied down rules, the stary ways and most,
these laws amidst, one by one and word by word,
to do exactly...
