Cuban Macaw
by Rumi Ullidov

a Cuban Macaw standing in the tree

all flattering and in good moods

gazing colours, burgundy, blue and green

oh! wandering animals in the woods

happy as ever in his solitude

You had me from hello..
by Raina Hutchins

You live a thousand miles away
So far across the sea
Still I search the reason why
Fate brought you here to me

I never dreamed I’d feel this way
From just one night with you
And always I’ll be wondering
If you still feel it too

Ouderlik Huis
by Mario Odekerken

Die trap kraakt nog
soos toe ek klein was.
Elke kamer dra
die asem van herinnering.

Die gordyne hang swaar
van sonlig en stilte.
In die kombuis
staan die tyd stil
tussen die ketel

Soon, I’ll Sleep Again
by Carl Halling

Soon, I’ll sleep again,
I will feel no pain,

For a little time,
Peace will be all mine,

My mind will seek
Freedom from the past,

I’ll be carefree,

Antiques and Memories
by Evelyn Judy Buehler

Within halls that all but speak,
Sit elegant objects, very antique;
Treasured and valued bits of past,
Which care and devotion made last.

A museum crowded with sweet memory,
Like of dead, red robin's late beauty!
The glossy mirror gracing the wall,
At ruddy sunset, reflects them all.

Echoes from the past
by Mario Odekerken

Footsteps linger
longing after the road is gone.
A voice,
once whispered,
still moves the air.
Dust remembers
what time tries to bury.
Not all silence
is empty.

Wenn die Stimme aus der Vergangenheit nicht mehr gehört wird
by Mario Odekerken

Wenn die Stimme aus der Vergangenheit
nicht mehr gehört wird,
bleiben nur Bilder zurück,
die langsam verblassen
wie Staub im Sonnenlicht.

Worte verlieren ihr Gewicht,
wenn sie niemand mehr trägt.

Die Räume, in denen sie einst widerhallten,

When the voice from the past is no longer heard
by Mario Odekerken

When the voice from the past
is no longer heard,
only images remain,
slowly fading
like dust in sunlight.

Words lose their weight
when no one carries them anymore.

The rooms where they once echoed

Als de stem uit het verleden niet meer gehoord wordt
by Mario Odekerken

Als de stem uit het verleden niet meer
gehoord wordt,
blijven er alleen beelden achter
die langzaam vervagen
zoals stof in zonlicht.

Woorden verliezen hun gewicht
wanneer niemand ze nog draagt.

De kamers waar ze ooit weerklonken

Sehnsucht nach den sanften Hügeln Schlesiens
by Mario Odekerken

Ich erinnere mich
nicht an ein einzelnes Bild,
sondern an ein Gefühl,
das zwischen den Hügeln atmete.

Die Luft war still,
als hielte sie etwas Festes,
etwas,das verloren ging,
ohne laut zu verschwinden.
