MorePoezije

Nakon 40 godina vozim se u avionu
sve mi je uistinu u svečarskom tonu
biti iznad zemlje dok oblaci plutaju
oči mi se od ljepote u suzama kupaju.

Plavetnilo bezgranično čisto i nijemo
srsi mi prolaze kroz čitavo moje tijelo
ljudi su zbilja iznimna pametna bića
kad su u letenju za let pronašla otkrića.

Zakonitosti prirode toliko su moćne
čekaju samo da se netko pitati počne
što li sve možemo, trebamo i znamo
onog trenutka kad sve od sebe damo.

Prelazimo udaljenosti u vremena malo
onda kad moramo i kada nam je stalo
još mnogi ljudi letove osjetili ipak nisu
da bi pogledali dolje dok su tom visu.

A dolje je tako divno, poput tapiserije
sve izgleda poput mozaika ili prerije
kvadrati, pravokutnici i trokuti zemlje
obradile su uistinu mukom ruke vrijedne.

Toliko je savršeno i geometrijski točno
reljef zemlje odavde djeluje tako skočno
blizu i daleko u isto ovo življeno vrijeme
zaslužuju najbolje od kreacije tantijeme.

Oblaci… poput pamuka i vilinskog praha
ostavljaju me otvorenom, a ipak bez daha
ta bjelina koju ne opere sva ta voda svijeta
podsjeća na skup odanih dužnih pieteta.

Gledam ljude kad osjetim nalet uzbuđenja
nema straha, vični su iskustvu tog letenja
kad se krilo u trenu naginje pomalo u stranu
ja ipak stavim kroz riječi osjećaje na ekranu.

S ljubavlju, Željka.

After forty years, I’m finally flying,
Everything feels festive, almost like I’m sighing.
To be above the earth, while clouds drift by,
My eyes fill up with tears of beauty in the sky.

Boundless blue, so pure and still,
A shiver runs throughout my body at will.
Humankind is truly an extraordinary thing,
To discover how to fly, and give the earth a wing.

The laws of nature are powerful and grand,
Waiting for someone to ask, to understand:
What can we do, what should we know,
When we give our very best and let our spirits grow?

We cross great distances in very little time,
When we have to, or when the journey feels sublime.
Still, many people have never felt the flight,
Nor looked down below from such a wondrous height.

And down below, the world is truly grand,
Like a tapestry spread across the land.
It looks like a mosaic, a prairie, a dream,
With squares, rectangles, and triangles in between.

So perfect, so precise in every line,
The earth’s relief from here seems almost divine.
Near and far, all within this living span,
Deserve the very finest that creation ever can.

The clouds… like cotton and fairy dust,
Leave me wide-eyed, breathless with wonder and trust.
That whiteness no water in the world could ever stain,
Reminds me of a gathering of devotion, pure and plain.

I watch the people when excitement starts to rise,
There is no fear—they’re seasoned to these skies.
When suddenly the wing tilts gently to the side,
I put my feelings into words upon the screen inside.

With love, Željka.
