i will sing loudly
though thunder may drown out my song
i will laugh deeply
though clouds may hide sun
while rain covers my soul
i will cry boldly
for blossoms burst springtime
these shatter the cold
let me speak spring, light, thunder and …

laughter rings in the background
hear, she is happy
and sorrow
relegated to the end of time

hmmm. I very much enjoyed reading that poem.

I see the pictures and hear the sounds.
I know how  it feels and love being reminded.

I appreciate the intensity of the wording
and am deeply touched by the pureness
and simplicity of the ending.

pure love, it's magic and power
in basicly three lines with twelve words…
(yes, I've counted! ;)

and the simplicity of the whole - I start getting a feeling
for the mastery it actually takes, expressing complexity
in the minimised form of poetry (I might have made up
a word or two here…?).

very beautiful and touching.

with love,
Gabriele

Thank you Anathena, your smile is so welcome; i smile back, warmly.

And Gabriele, you are far too kind (all real words BTW-your english is fantastic). I'm glad that you enjoyed reading it and even gladder that you recalled the “pictures and sounds”. Perhaps, then, i actually expressed what i wanted to express–your words make me very glad that i posted it.

Cheers,
Donan

Donan,

These are powerful words of a steadfast soul…  spring comes in with thunder, doesn't it… darkness and rain… then so much beauty…
