I will awaken as the spring Come and live Hoots the owl on the bough Echoing spring’s pulchritudinous vow To drink at the river like the loving deer All the forest begins to cheer Awaken bears from your winter’s rest Provision is here of all the year’s best An abundance to eat Come and be…

My poetry with translations in Greek
Today I’d like to share two of my nature poems with you that have been translated into Greek by my fellow poet and friend on Twitter, Vasiliki Petroudi.

Love flows eternal There at the end of our garden in view Flows a river of love with my memories of you Dip your feet in the shallow and see There was nothing shallow between you and me Cool is the water that flows ankle deep Passion is the heart that makes the birds cheep…

Love being you
Love being you Dear tree, lovely tree Grow as tall as you can be Look upon the clear blue sky And be freed from your prison Of asking why Why the seasons treat you so Why the wind blows you to and fro But grow your roots deep in me And just love Being a…
I will be with you
I will be with you In the coldest darkest night When the way is marked by fright When the path is ambiguous despite Hope that seemed in sight Trust me to be your light You may not be saved from your plight But I promise you I will be with you this night
