PERSIDA RUGU

ZODIAC SIGN 
(ZODIE) 

                To the poet Lucian Blaga

Shine, you rainbow song across the thunder trees

come, unshadowed  light

water untouched

come birds of freedom

mourning creatures watching the dark

like the gold nightingale

or silenced owl

come tears of the depth

embracing the edge of sight

unfoil the echo of dim words

sliding along the hardly started age –

words burn in the clearing of the moon

from our blood

You are here

in the yesterday shadow

embalming our spirit as if

you never faded out in swan silence

or water-lily petals

unheard chimes of faint shout

within sand glass walls

and amphorae of wind

Stay forever on the right

of our wing of enamel and fire – 

by worshiping the Word and you

we turn the eternity evergreen

the castle of steaming rains

and the cross of our people

Amen

                                                           PERSIDA RUGU
