PERSIDA RUGU

 ZODIAC SIGN // FATE

                                        To the poet Lucian Blaga

The rainbow song shines over the thunder’s trees

come, unshaded light

untouched water

come birds of freedom

mournful creatures watching the dark

like the golden nightingale

or the tacit owl

come, tears of the abyss

enveloping the skylights of the gaze

unfold the echo of the faded verbs

sliding over the century not yet begun – 

the words burn in the moon’s glade

from our blood

You are here

in yesterday’s shadow

embalming our being as if 

you have never withdrew yourself in the swan silence

or in water lily petals

unheard sounds of silent scream

between the hourglass walls

and amorphous of winds

Stay forever on the right

of our wing of enamel and flame –  

by worshiping the Word and you

we make eternity evergreen

the castle of steaming rains

and the cross of our people

Amen

                   

                                  PERSIDA RUGU
