High & Low

Posted by Claudia Moser on 7:53 PM in


Writing this entry while driving on the road to Tallinn to Narva. Actually I am not driving, just sitting in the bus and trying to get my thoughts together. Another Wednesday spend in Estonia, two more weeks and then I will have 2 free weeks without travel. Or at least that is what I hope, so better keep quiet and enjoy the break? :)

Anyway a normal day behind, work for 5 hours, travel for 7 hours. Somehow on the way I remembered one wonderful poem by our national poet Mihai Eminescu and I wanted to share that with you

And If...

And if the branches tap my pane
And the poplars whisper nightly,
It is to make me dream again
I hold you to me tightly.
And if the stars shine on the pond
And light its sombre shoal,
It is to quench my mind's despond
And flood with peace my soul.

And if the clouds their tresses part
And does the moon outblaze,
It is but to remind my heart
I long for you always.

Sweet dreams!

Maybe it was the description that you provided at the beginning of the post, but I could see the dark night road, covered all around with trees, zipping through time, and feeling the leaves waving at me silently as I drove by, wishing that I would stay for a little while and spend a time with those lonely trees...

Beautiful poem. Thanks for sharing!

Cheers,
Joy...

Motto

"A story is not like a road to follow … it's more like a house. You go inside and stay there for a while, wandering back and forth and settling where you like and discovering how the room and corridors relate to each other, how the world outside is altered by being viewed from these windows. And you, the visitor, the reader, are altered as well by being in this enclosed space, whether it is ample and easy or full of crooked turns, or sparsely or opulently furnished. You can go back again and again, and the house, the story, always contains more than you saw the last time. It also has a sturdy sense of itself of being built out of its own necessity, not just to shelter or beguile you."
