ANNA ZAPALSKA



ANNA ZAPALSKA

RETURN TO MEADOWS (SONNET II)

Wild green rivers amid scent of forest moss
Have overflowed this land with waves of flowers,
As if rainbows have fallen down out of sky gloss...
And the ground could drink bliss from divine powers,

As if all smiles of the world have one face
And all birds' songs have come out from one small throat,
Such an unbelievable sense of huge space
Within landscape of heart that will always float,

Such a beautiful silence forever loud
Like Granny's songs sung at dawn in morning,
Like invisible flowers on whisp of cloud,
Like the smallest things, but still worth adorning.

Some memories are forever young like spring
And dreams bloom anew in spite of everything...








THE DAY

Before you came,
I have fallen in love
With the sun...
And I have felt you
Under silver shapes
Of morning dewdrops...








WE STILL FAIL TO MEET...

Like two leaves differing
In the space between trees...
We are two realities--
A pair of shoes...
We still fail to meet
On this road
Of earthly passing...
