MorePoezije

Oduvijek ljudi vole razna putovanja
o njima se mašta i opetovano sanja
jer čovjek promatra i vidi druge ljude
da bi naučio kako da mu bolje bude.

Život nadahnjuje i kreira stvaranje
uništava svaku laž i sigurno varanje
čovjek osjeća i uči gledajući druge
bilo na brze, kraće ili pak duže pruge.

Druge kulture bude u nama iskonsko
sve nekako prirodno i odveć pitomsko
nekako shvaćamo blizinu koja nas veže
oko srca se omča prepoznavanja steže.

Samo da bi ocrtala novi i puni krug
u kojem su ljudi braća, sestre i drug
ta praiskonska Božja čestica u nama
ne vidi granice, čovjeka ne ostavlja sama.

Jer svi smo nečije dijete, sestra ili brat
majka, otac, djed, baka, stric, ujak, svat
prijatelj, kolega, susjed, kum, poznanica
toliko poziva čvrstih baš poput kovanica.

Poput medalja koje nose dvije strane
prepune vrlina, sposobnosti i mane
ali toliko toga u jednu osobu pak stane
čime ispunjavamo dragocijene nam dane.

Što više svijeta čovjek iskusi i vidi
razumije slabost, zbog nje se ne stidi
nego skuplja milost od sveg pokoljenja
jer je živjelo od nje uz želje i htijenja.

Putovanje je podsjetnik koliko smo bitni
da nikad ne pomislimo da su drugi sitni
oplemeniti dušu nekim drugim bićem
uzdiže vrijednost nad svakim otkrićem.

S ljubavlju, Željka.

People have always loved to journey far and wide,
They dream of distant places, with wonder deep inside,
For one observes and meets the people that they see,
To learn how life can better be and how it ought to be.

Life inspires and gives creation room to grow,
It tears away each lie and every false show,
We feel and learn by watching those we meet along the way,
Whether on the shortest roads or journeys long and far away.

Other cultures awaken something ancient, something true,
A natural gentleness that feels familiar too,
Somehow we sense the closeness that connects us all,
And recognition tightens gently around the heart’s call.

Just to draw a circle, new and whole and bright,
Where people are like brothers, sisters, friends united,
That ancient spark of God which lives within us all
Sees no borders, leaves no human being alone or small.

For we are all somebody’s child, somebody’s sister or brother,
A mother, father, grandfather, grandmother, one or another,
An uncle, aunt, a friend, a colleague, neighbour, godparent, acquaintance—
So many bonds that hold us fast, each one a precious presence.

Like medals bearing proudly two sides in their design,
Filled with virtues, gifts and flaws, both yours and mine,
Yet so much can dwell within a single human being,
And through it we make our precious days worth living.

The more of this wide world a person gets to see and know,
The more they understand our weakness, without shame or woe,
Instead, they gather grace from every generation,
For each has lived through it with its hopes and aspirations.

Travel reminds us just how much we each are worth,
So we never think that others matter less upon this Earth,
To enrich the soul through another human being
Raises life’s true value far beyond each new discovery.

With love,
Željka
