Poem

by Elizabeth Bishop

About the size of an old-style dollar bill,
American or Canadian,
mostly the same whites, gray greens, and steel grays
-this little painting (a sketch for a larger one?)
has never earned any money in its life.
Useless and free., it has spent seventy years
as a minor family relic handed along collaterally to owners
who looked at it sometimes, or didn't bother to.

It must be Nova Scotia; only there

Dependence

by William Cowper

To keep the lamp alive,
With oil we fill the bowl;
'Tis water makes the willow thrive,
And grace that feeds the soul.

The Lord's unsparing hand
Supplies the living stream;
It is not at our own command,
But still derived from Him.

Duino Elegies: The First Elegy

by Rainer Maria Rilke

Who, if I cried out, would hear me among the angels'
hierarchies? and even if one of them suddenly
pressed me against his heart, I would perish
in the embrace of his stronger existence.
For beauty is nothing but the beginning of terror
which we are barely able to endure and are awed
because it serenely disdains to annihilate us.
Each single angel is terrifying.
And so I force myself, swallow and hold back
the surging call of my dark sobbing.

If I Were to Stumble

by Richard Randolph

If I were to stumble,
if I were to fall,
would you lend a helping hand,
would you even call?

Might you turn away,
pretend you didn't see,
might you simply shake your head,
put the blame on me?

Palm Tree

by Diana T. Pecot

When the winds begin to blow and the
Gust becomes to strong and the words
That brought the winds came from the people
you trusted in pray Lord strengthen me like into
the Palm tree.
For sometimes are tree must been in this
World full of sin and it's food to know that
it's not thee end for it's guaranteed your storm
will come.
and we don't want to be just another Lilly

Erhalten

by Mario Odekerken

Ich habe nicht gesucht,
doch du bist geblieben.

Nicht als Lärm,
sondern als leiser Gedanke
zwischen den Tagen.

Manches verliert sich schnell,
du aber
bust einfach geblieben.

Vertrouwen

by Mario Odekerken

Vertrouwen is een open hand,
geen woord,
maar een stilte die blijft.
Het kijkt niet om,
het vraagt niets terug,
en toch is het alles.

Bonds

by Aditi Hayaran

Bonds aren't easy to weave,
Trust, love, and balance, they believe.
A delicate thread, carefully spun,
Once formed, let it be truly won.

Strong ties aren't built overnight,
They need patience, shining bright.
Doubt's a shadow, dark and deep,
Can shatter the bond in its sleep.

Zonder te spreken

by Mario Odekerken

Zonder te spreken
zeggen jouw ogen alles.

Geen taal is nodig
als blik en stilte samenvallen.

In dat moment
waarin je kijkt
zonder iets te verbergen,
valt de wereld even stil.

Slaaploze nachten

by Mario Odekerken

De stilte huilt tussen de muren,
gedachten razen zonder rust.
De klok tikt traag in zwarte uren,
de lucht gevuld met lege lust.

Een deken warm,maar hart zo koud,
verloren in het donk're licht.
De nacht vertelt wat niemand houdt,
een schaduw fluistert zacht mijn plicht.
