Reva Kern

Two hearts tossed
Into a vast valley -
Waiting on a hilltop
For clouds to appear
...

Little crystal dewdrop
Trembling daughter of the morning,
On the tip of a leaf of thyme
What are you doing on the hill?
...

I also sketch
See the spring season
In the fields
...

The hammock sways ever so slowly
In the gentle breeze
Of a hot summer afternoon
As I, lost in reverie, gaze up
...

Holding onto your reflection
Captivates my mind
Gripping it with my body
Slowly, sinking down into
...

Envelopes arrive from
Foreign lands
Carrying letters once held
By other hands
...

My soul has the naïvety of a glittering entity
Of a snow in February
Ah!We return to the threshold of childhood
On a pathway toward prayer
...

Concealed in my raincoat,
I walk in cozy abandon
Through mist and rain
With my hands dug deeply
...

Always within myself I keep a profound sadness
The etched friendship of an adorable child
For whom her death sounded the fatal ivory horn
Because she was beautiful, and gracious and blonde
...

Qui possède ces bois, je pense que je sais
Sa maison est dans le village bien que
Il ne me verra pas m'arrêter ici
Regarder ses bois se remplir de neige.

...

Found in the garden
Holes left by hungry raccoons
Searching for a meal.

The autumn chrysanthemum braves the frost
Its scent is strong
The wintersweet flower is filled with snow
Its heart is clean
...

Fair yellow flowers
Faces open to the sun
Swaying in the breeze.

この春を王子の方へ追て行ケ

This Spring
The style of the Prince
...

Yo tuve una paloma blanca
Yo tuve un pequeño pichón blanco
Ambos volaban de rama en rama
A la cima de mi desván
...

La façon dont une corneille
Secoua sur moi
La poussière de neige
D'un arbre de ciguë
...

One is enchanted with
The evening sun as it
Slowly and leisurely sets
Upon the backs of cattle -
