Learn from all things..

Originala, este poezia lui Traian Dorz, "Invata de la toate".
I`ve translated a poem.. which is not as easy as it seems.. -.- 
The original was amazing, mine.. lacks.. a lot..


Learn from the waters to have your way improved 
Learn from the mountain how to believe, unmoved
Learn from the fire that everything is ash
Learn from the shadows to keep your mouth and watch
Learn from all stones how much you have to say
Learn from the Sun how you should always fade
Learn from the wind that often wafts on paths
How silent through this world you really have to pass
Learn from them all, for they are all your kin
 How beautiful to die, how beautiful to live.

Learn from the maggot that no one is forgotten
Learn from the fire what is to burn inside.
Learn from the Sun to know the place of time
Learn from the river to never turn your back
Learn from the lily, the purity you lack
Learn from the shadow to humbly be like her,
Learn from the rock to ‘endure the heavy stir
Learn from the stars that sky is filled with men
Learn from the crickets when shoulders are so burden
And go and see the ant, to see her heavy load,
Learn from the birds to always be unbowed
Learn from all the flowers how tender you should be
Learn from the sheep how gentle you could be

Learn from them all, for all comes to an end,
Learn, oh son of sacrifice, that you were made, so clever..
Learn from everything that’s dying how you could live forever!

Ice and fire?

A fost o vreme în care un anumit film începea cu o anumită poezie.. Nu mi-a plăcut aşa că am făcut asta: There was a time when a specific movie began with a specific poem.. I did n`t like it, so i did this: Some say the world will end in ice, Some say it`ll surely end in fire So blind, believing you`ll die twice ‘Cause that is what your heart desires. We live our life while closing eyes Believing there is no afterlife Believing there is no higher power We risk our lives to favor liars Believing that we have control..  We are mistaken as we believe, That we`ll have something up our sleeve.. Tomorrow is simply, a dices` roll A fate not made by us, But made by Someone we can trust!.. ....................... No love, no mercy, no respect.. The world will end just from neglect That ice and fire thing is overrated While our true feelings are foolishly.. underestimated.

Thoughts.

            So, people talk to each other. Maybe sometimes they talk to themselves alone. On their way to work in their car or hidden at the back of the bus, thinking no one can hear, trying to sort things out. Tired of the loneliness inside their head. Creating other people, other voices, to be there for them. They need it. At least, they believe they do, truly. Considering how strange it is, you’d think they wouldn’t even try. But loneliness is much worse than stigma, that’s for sure, and no ugly stare from some random stranger is ever going to stop them from calming their echoing void inside. You’d be surprise what the voices have to say sometimes, they’re quite amusing when they try. Sometimes they don’t, and it’s quite daunting to even try listening. Or giving them a voice to begin with.             You’d think talking like that makes people insane, or that they must be i...

Friends..

M-am gândit să pun şi un dialog de anul trecut.. A short dialog ue I had last year.. My friend.. I have a friend. My closest friend With who I`d travel to the end And when in need, his help would lend. And every law with him I`ll bend. He is my closest and best friend. He is like none I`ve ever had! He made me laugh when I was sad, He calmed me down when I was mad. And even tears he would shed, And even days he`d sternly beg For me. At me. And with one goal: He wanted me to have more soul. 'Cause I`ve set m' ambitions low And he just wished to see me grow. Never refuse. Never say no. .............................. Years have passed, so slow and one by one The downfall of my friend has now begun. Engulfed in fortune and in gold He has forgot about his Lord. Consumed by power and control He has become a demons` doll. I tried. I helped him as I could, But he was stubborn and he was fooled. "I don`t need your or your Gods` help I wil...
