Caminho
quando preferia flutuar
no espaço,
As pessoas vivem como cometas
e morrem como estrelas.
Às vezes me sinto tão velha
quanto o universo,
A estrada que não escolhi
também pode ser lida
nas minhas pegadas.
I walk
when I’d rather float in space,
People live like comets
and die like stars.
Sometimes I feel as old
as the universe,
The road I have not taken
also showing
on my footprints.
My piece for One Shoot Sunday
Powerful imagery.
ReplyDeleteThe road not taken is as much a part of us as the one we're on. For some it's even more real.
This is the most beautiful take on this prompt I have read, Kenia.
Extremamente demais.
ReplyDeleteLindo isso: "As pessoas vivem como cometas
e morrem como estrelas."
É o tipo de coisa que só se encontra aqui!
Abraço!
As if the tracks them selves lead to and connect with the universe. Love it.
ReplyDeletelive like comets, die like stars...this is a brilliant write...
ReplyDeletei hear the longing in your words - for floating in space..very beautiful words cris..and sometimes i feel as old as the universe as well...smiles

ReplyDeleteA vida é repleta de caminhos que não escolhemos. Caminhar é preciso, independente da estrada.
ReplyDeleteA estrada que não escolhi...
ReplyDeleteSerá que sempre vou pensar nela?

Another poem to think about when I look at the night sky. I hope I learn to live more like a comet.
ReplyDeleteAt leadt you carve your own path honey, your footprints although fading, will leave an echoed memory x
ReplyDeleteE se esse é nosso destino, vamos explodir nesse espaço.
ReplyDeleteKenia...
ReplyDeleteVocê sempre ótima, sensível e profunda.
Abraços meus.!!!
Very introspective. I like your philosophy.
ReplyDeleteThis is incredibly beautiful and powerful. I especially love "people live like comets and die like stars". Wow!
ReplyDeleteLovely. I particularly like the reference to roads not taken. Your perspective gave me pause to consider that.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed this Kenia.
ReplyDelete"People live like comets
and die like stars."
A beautiful piece of writing. Says so much in so few words; excellent.
ReplyDelete'Sometimes I feel as old
as the universe,...'
Very nice. :-)
Astronômico. Versos altamente inspirados, sobretudo esses aqui:
ReplyDelete"As pessoas vivem como cometas
e morrem como estrelas."
Bem, agora fui eu que me lembrei de Robert Frost, Kenia.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful work, Kenia. I also am impressed with your blog, its design, and its bilingual quality.
ReplyDeleteNice allusions. Nice One KC!
ReplyDeleteSe não há estradas, seus pés indicam o caminho (embora haja muita grama a ser pisada).
ReplyDeleteEstava faltando onda em mim.
Mas isso me banhou de interesse...
Boas margens.
I love this - mystic, mythic... all of it, but the final lines really pull at me:
ReplyDeleteThe road I have not taken
also showing
on my footprints.
