ZODIAC SIGN
To the poet Lucian Blaga
Shine, you rainbow song across the thunder trees
come, unshadowed light
water untouched
come birds of freedom
mourning creatures watching the dark
like the gold nightingale
or silenced owl
come tears of the depth
embracing the edge of sight
unfoil the echo of dim words
sliding along the hardly started age –
words burn in the clearing of the moon
from our blood
You are here
in the yesterday shadow
embalming our spirit as if
you never faded out in swan silence
or water-lily petals
unheard chimes of faint shout
within sand glass walls
and amphorae of wind
Stay forever on the right
of our wing of enamel and fire –
by worshiping the Word and you
we turn the eternity evergreen
the castle of steaming rains
and the cross of our people
Amen

ZODIAC SIGN // FATE
To the poet Lucian Blaga
The rainbow song shines over the thunder’s trees
come, unshaded light
untouched water
come birds of freedom
mournful creatures watching the dark
like the golden nightingale
or the tacit owl
come, tears of the abyss
enveloping the skylights of the gaze
unfold the echo of the faded verbs
sliding over the century not yet begun –
the words burn in the moon’s glade
from our blood
You are here
in yesterday’s shadow
embalming our being as if
you have never withdrew yourself in the swan silence
or in water lily petals
unheard sounds of silent scream
between the hourglass walls
and amorphous of winds
Stay forever on the right
of our wing of enamel and flame –
by worshiping the Word and you
we make eternity evergreen
the castle of steaming rains
and the cross of our people
Amen
