Sept 2018, Sapporo Poem by Elena Sandu
Sept 2018, Sapporo
What is you wish to tell us dear earth
Why are you jumping, shaking angry,
What is your aim, why have you us, the people, hurt?
I hoped tonight we'll have some rest
After the pouring rains and chill winds blow
And endless nights of earthquakes, oh!
Huh! ? Dear humans you think is all about your hurt?
You damaged us, your house, so much
That soon we'd all be crippled, paralyzed.
Earthquakes are nothing but my tremors
Of huge pain.Taifun is my scared breathe
And rains, tears for mercy, poured in vain.
The humans have no eyes to see, no heart to feel,
no ears to hear, no mind for future dreams. The Humans care?
Naah. They work only to survive today, tomorrow, or next week.
.................................................
Speram că în seara asta vom avea odihnă
După vărsari de ploi și vânturi de colina
Și nopțile nesfârșite ale cutremurelor, din a cui vina?
Huh! ? Om drag, e vorba doar de rana ta, tu crezi?
Tu ne-ai distrus, pe noi ce suntem casa ta, atât de mult
Ca in curând, răniți, paralizați om fi cu toti, pe veci.
Cutremurele nu-s altceva decât pamant in tremur
De mare durere. Taifun e respirația mea speriată
Și ploile sunt lacrimi cerand milă, in zadar turnate.
Oamenii chiar nu au ochi să vadă, inimă săsimtă,
fără urechi de auzit, fără de minte pentru vis de viitor?
Si Grija ta, omule? Ca să nu mori azi sau maine, tragi de zor.
Earthquakes, heavy rains and storms are the ways Earth expresses its pain! Great concept!
Earthquakes are nothing but my tremors Of huge pain.Taifun is my scared breathe And rains, tears for mercy, poured in vain. The humans have no eyes to see, no heart to feel, no ears to hear, no mind for future dreams.......nice poetic expression. The cause of earthquake has been nicely inscribed. Thanks for sharing this beautiful poem.
'Earthquakes are nothing but my tremors Of huge pain.Taifun is my scared breathe And rains, tears for mercy, poured in vain.' - Words of a kind, compassionate mind.
Great poetry, Elena Sandu. Read my poem Love and L u s t. Thanks
ADDITION: Thank you so much for sharing this brilliant and thought-provoking poem I am happy to know that you are publishing your poems here, Elena. Sent with caring love, Pipi / Sylvie.
SECOND PART: You wrote a fascinating but tragic story-poem. Hats off for you, dear Elena. I like all your thought-provoking poems. A 10+++++++++++++++++ for the PH vote. Smile, Love and Happiness always Your poet friend, Sylvia Frances Chan
FIRST PART: Eerie is that when the earth shakes so hard that there are so many victims. Excellently worded, Elena, I so understand every word you wrote here, metaphors or in reality. They have the same results in people's hearts. First Sapporo near you, then Palu, near the island Java where I was born, now Palu does not exist anymore, on the peninsula of Sulawesi, Indonesia.
