I Felt Like On The Clouds Poem by Liza Sud

I Felt Like On The Clouds

Rating: 5.0

I felt like on the clouds
when I was reading these lines.
Should I be tense, keep silence,
suppress these words and hide?

You were with me like guardian,
brother, or father, friend,
Like Joseph to God's Mother -
taking her out of pain.

Don't want explain to another,
don't want all powers to see.
Is it so bad, Sapphire? -
tell me the reason please.

It was your shining presence
through the overcast day.
Or should I go to heavens
with no earthly men?


***

Я была - как в облаках,
когда прочла эти строки,
Мне напряженно молчать?
скрыться, сдавить слово?

Ты был мне как хранитель,
брат мой, отец, друг,
Как Иосиф - Марии
боль смягчающий вдруг.

Я не хочу объяснять им,
силам высшим - смотреть,
Это плохо, Сапфиры?
объясните теперь?

Он сиял мне присутствием
сквозь мой пасмурный день,
иль не узнав земных мужчин -
Мне в небеса улететь?

The title line of your poem tells me that you found my poem not only positive but uplifting. I wanted the poem to speak to both you and me on common ground of understanding. I agree with Marieta below that the stanza on the Holy Family is an especially poetic passage and it endorses the positive nature of the poem. We humans are made up of body, soul, mind and these parts are often in conflict - my goal was to express the wonder of thior achieved UNITY of purpose and action.
