A New Birthday Poem by Marieta Maglas

I have heard the Robin Birds
chirping and singing- a pray
at the start of a new dawn- words
and dreams for your birthday.

I have seen the snowdrops
blooming in that sunrise,
while slowly growing-

emotion in mighty minds.
'Tis a new birthday to ring.
Free waters and swelling winds
do their planting in the spring.

'Tis another day- warm and great.
Brings happiness without weight.
'Placuit precari coeleste numen.'

Poem by Marieta Maglas

Note: The English translation of 'Placuit precari coeleste numen' is: 'It pleased to pray the heavenly deity.'(The Metamorphoses by Publius Ovidius Naso)
