Written in the Rain

If we were bees
 who can feel the sun
 through the cloudy sky
 who find their way
 to the blossom...





Hilde Domin 

 
 
 
 

If we were bees
 who can feel the sun
 through the cloudy sky
 who find their way
 to the blossom
 and never lose direction,
 our fields would be forever
 shining
 however short our life
 we would seldom cry. 

 
 

Orienteering



My heart, this
 sunflower
 searching
 for the light.
 Which
 of the long gone
 shimmerings
 will you raise your head to
 in the dark days?

 

 
 
Translated into English by Elke Heckel and Meg Taylor
