A Peek At - Waiting for Translation by Alison McKenzieShe woke up
With his pen in her hand,
The ink still wet,
Poetry in a language
She had not yet learned
And she waited
For a translation. 11/12/2014
Author's Note: Inspired by a perspective not my own.

Posted by Chris Sorrenti on 11/13/14 at 07:37 AM Really like the spiritual angle of this one, Ali. Yes, sometimes we're not ready yet to fully translate situations and events, but with time and patience, all will be revealed to us. |
