The Herald - Ο Αγγελιοφόρος

Rating: 5.0


The seagulls were flying

silently over the town

as the snow was falling

Then the herald loudly spoke:

"Ten years I have traveled

and all the colors I have seen

but the blackness you hide so well

I confess, I have never met."



The seagulls silently were flying

the herald has never been seen

since then

Only a voice lamenting

in the night:

"Oh, the blackness of their souls! "







Οι γλάροι πετούσαν

σιωπηλά πάνω από την πόλη

καθώς το χιόνι έπεφτε

Τότε ο αγγελιοφόρος μίλησε δυνατά:

"Δέκα χρόνια ταξίδεψα

και όλα τα χρώματα έχω δει

αλλά τη μαυρίλα που κρύβετε τόσο καλά

Ομολογώ, δεν έχω ποτέ μου συναντήσει. "





Οι γλάροι πετούσαν σιωπηλά

ο αγγελιοφόρος δεν ξαναφάνηκε

από τότε

Μόνο μια φωνή θρηνεί

μέσα στη νύχτα:

"Ω, η μαυρίλα των ψυχών τους! "

is it the gulls which are hiding " blackness" ? and do you speak of gulls' souls. hmmm? I believe gulls/seagulls have a tendency to whitewash things. bri :)

With colourful flying you have traveled ten years. A brilliant poem is excellently penned. A wise sharing is done really.

With Black Mystery the truth is said. Marvelously conceived, unforgettably written! Sent my heart flying with those seagulls. Just loved it, I felt it.
