En-Dor

Behold there is a woman that hath a familiar spirit at En-dor. -- I Samuel, xxviii. 7

The road to En-dor is easy to tread
For Mother or yearning Wife.
There, it is sure, we shall meet our Dead
As they were even in life.
Earth has not dreamed of the blessing in store
For desolate hearts on the road to En-dor.

Whispers shall comfort us out of the dark--
Hands--ah God!--that we knew!
Visions .and voices --look and hark!--
Shall prove that the tale is true,
An that those who have passed to the further shore
May' be hailed--at a price--on the road to En-dor.

But they are so deep in their new eclipse
Nothing they say can reach,
Unless it be uttered by alien lips

Cleanness

Clannesse who so kyndly cowþe comende

Fayre formez my3t he fynde in for[þ]ering his speche

For wonder wroth is þe Wy3þat wro3t alle þinges
Wyth þe freke þat in fylþe fol3es Hym after,

If þay in clannes be clos þay cleche gret mede;
Bot if þay conterfete crafte & cortaysye wont,

A Pastoral Dialogue

Dorinda. Sabæan Perfumes fragrant Roses bring,
With all the Flowers that Paint the gaudy Spring:
Scatter them all in young Alexis's way,
With all that's sweet and (like himself) that's Gay.
Alexis. Immortal Laurels and as lasting Praise,
Crown the Divine Dorinda's matchless Laies:
May all Hearts stoop, where mine would gladly yield,
Had not Lycoris prepossest the Field.
Dor. Would my Alexis meet my noble Flame,
In all Ausonia neither Youth nor Dame,
Should so renown'd in Deathless Numbers shine,
As thy exalted Name should do in mine.

Alex. He'll need no Trophie nor ambitious Hearse,
Who shall be honour'd by Dorinda's Verse;
But where it is inscrib'd, That here doth lie
Lycoris's Love. That Fame can never die.
Dor. On Tyber's Bank I Thyrsis did espie,
And by his side did bright Lycoris lie;
She Crown'd his Head, and Kist his amorous Brow,

Oração Universal

Perante as desilusões, sofrimento e dor
Sejamos fortes na fé
E generosos no amor.
Entoemos o cântico 'Magnificat'
Exaltando o Senhor
Na alegria e na dor.
Que a justiça e a paz entre os povos
Seja no mundo uma realidade
A abençoar a Humanidade.
Deixemos que o nosso coração
Se oriente por Deus
No caminho da paz,
Da partilha e fraternidade,
P'ra alcançarmos a Esperança
E o Amor
Na Verdade.

(Maio 2010)

Para você Marcela! ! !

Somos, filha, o passado
e eu estou exatamente onde
você me colocou.

Não dei um passo a frente
tentei, mas não consegui
e ficou esta marca

A minha partida
não foi de corpo
foi de alma

E a sua permanência
não demorou em lhe
cobrar!

Sinto muito! Já não estava mais perto
gostaria de voltar inteira
mas quebrou o que jamais
poderia ser quebrado

Kuch Kehna Hey Tumse

KUCH KEHNA HEY TUMSE

kuch kehna hey tumse..
uhi Batalaya Nahi karte..
Dhere-Dhere uhi chup-chup ke..
kuch kehna hey tumse..

Band khidki se Dekhey tuje ab kese..
BEEN Mousam Barsat Barse to bhi kese...
kuch kehna hey tumse..
uhi Batalaya Nahi karte..

jo Dekha ek khawab kehkash Nighone..
DiL-DiL u milane se pehle...
kuch kehna hey tumse..
uhi Batalaya Nahi karte..

Diya or Bati ki tarha hona hey jo roshan...
musukrhat ke badal saja ne hey sada...

The Jolly Beggar I

‘THER is a wife in yone toun-end, an she has dothers three,
An I wad be a beager for ony of a’ the three.’
He touk his clouty clok him about, his peakstaff in his hand,
An he is awa to yon toun-end, leak ony peare man.
‘I ha ben about this fish-toun this years tua or three,
Ha ye ony quarters, deam, that ye coud gie me?’
‘Awa, ye pear carl, ye dinne kean my name;
Ye sudd ha caed me mistress fan ye called me bat deam.’
He tuke his hat in his hand an gied her juks three:
‘An ye want manners, misstres, quarters ye’ll gie me.’
‘Awa, ye pear carle, in ayont the fire,
An sing to our Lord Gray’s men to their hearts’ disire.’
Some lowked to his goudie lowks, some to his milk-whit skine,
Some to his ruffled shirt, the gued read gold hang in.
Out spak our madin, an she was ay shay,
Fatt will the jolly beager gett afore he gaa to lay?
Out spak our goudwife, an she was not sae shay,
He’se gett a dish of lang kell, besids a puss pay.
Out spak the jolly beager, That dish I dou denay;
I canne sup yer lang kell nor yet yer puss pay.

Amanda

Amanda,
To buy a piece of land and to build a house;
For you are my lover on this side of the lake!
But try to understand me for what i am.

A lovely message,
A lovely muse;
Thanks dor sharing your sweet love with me,
For i am alive today because of you.

Assim é...

É ter e não ter
É alegria e dor
Em cada dia desde o amanhecer.
É lidar, actuar, recordar,
É saber desculpar, é amar.

É o tempo a rodar
Em cada momento um despertar
É vida que se respeita
É este complexo caminhar
É obra que sempre espreita.

É a luz divina que ilumina
É força de alma que nos anima
É aceitar e querer entender
É construir, agir, olhar p'ra cima
Assim é... viver!
