Wild

by Poet on the Piano   Mar 24, 2011


Mis alas,
escuches
a la belleza
del mar.

Do not let the waves drumming
speak for your destination;
you are here to tame the horizon
in its bellowing sails & sequence.
Lead the ocean, touch its womb
and take flight with a miracle,
for we were born without eyes
but our hearts master a new plan
where sight is not drained,
a cup still full of promise.
Run to me from numerous countries,
lift your ribbons from their spectrum
and sail with me, no longer defined
as a collected whole, but a sky
made beautiful by love's signal.

Mis alas,
vivas
cada dia
por nuestro sol.

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

FIRST stanza: My wings,
listen
to the beauty
of the sea.

LAST stanza: My wings,
live
every day
for our sun.

    Nice twist,makes sense with the title since this is saying to tame the horizon when its the horizon that always tames us.

    and take flight with a miracle,
    for we were born without eyes

    Damn that 'without eyes' part is thought provoking and can be projected. In so many ways.

    but our hearts master a new plan
    where sight is not drained,
    a cup still full of promise.

    Who would even think about putting 'cup' and "promise' together in a phrase? Smart. You...

    This was really beautiful, MaryAnne:)

    I would love to have had a translation for the Spanish parts, though!

    for we were born without eyes
    but our hearts master a new plan
    where sight is not drained,
    a cup still full of promise.

    ^^
    This was so uplifting, so full of youthful enthusiasm:)

    Well done, miracle girl:)

    5/5 Ingrid
