Transparency Poem by Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen

Transparency



Lord free us from the dangerous game of transparency
There are no corals or shells on the sea floor of our soul
Just a smothered dream
And we don't really know what dreams are
Silent conductors faint songs
Which one day suddenly appear
On the broad flat patio of disasters

Translation: 2004, Richard Zenith
