With extreme weather phenomena, all over the world, our care for nature seems to be totally justified. This August: why not be careful and put all the plastic in the dustbin? why not think of the best way to use technology without harming nature? May poetry inspire us.

 

Fragility - Corina Savu (Romania)

 

Waves break through the shore

flooding the banks with tears.

Under the eyelids, pray lost its sound

And music is just a fad and broken sound

that separetes the worlds.

 

It's raining...

With tears from the sky

Over lonely souls,

Traveling to dusk

From the heights of suffering

With a final "burning" embrace

 

What's left after the gray rains fall,

...backwards...

from the soul to the forehead,

from the earth from which the life went down to heaven?

 

We gather broken wings...

in fact, there are only piles of ash, but

we lie that we are still alive,

that we still feel,

that we have not yet lost our way or His hand.

 

Ah, it's raining...

With tears that washed away sins

Over dried hearts,

Traveling from fire

Into eternal peace

With fragile wings.

Dear friends, good evening. Today is one of those days when I leave here some words about literature. I hope you enjoy and comment. The literature can be seen, in my opinion, as a way to get what we do not have or do not find around us. Maybe I'm exaggerating, some people may think when reading these lines, but if you think about it, why the "fantastic" has success as literary style, in a world that tends to be more uniform, dispite the innovation (and the action to be different) are said to be something that should be followed? Also, why the novels are able to capture so many readers in a context where divorces are so frequent? I have no certainties, but that the hypothesis of an inner search is not unreasonable, it is not ... See you soon, and good reading!
