ENGLISH:
Wandering state of irreality
The moon on a cloud ripples dreams
Of impossibility
Bird flying bleeding heart
Icarus wings melted sunk into the ocean
Of a sandy illusion
Emerald pine tree stains souls evergreen
Vanishes sadness and emptiness meandering through time
Of Hope
CATALÀ:
Viatjant estat d’irrealitat
La lluna en un núvol fa onejar somnis
d’impossibles
Ocell volant un cor sagnant
Ales d’Ícar es fongueren caigudes en l’oceà
d’il.lusió en l’arena
El pi maragda tenyeix ànimes de verd etern
esvaeix la tristesa i la buidor viatjant en el temps
de l’Esperança

The metaphor of the emerald evergreen as a symbol of hope is a fitting end to the poem – hope keeps us going against all odds.

It is a good portrait of a constant struggle. The Moon was a good choice for a main character…Shakespeare’s phrase “th’inconstant moon” leapt immediately to mind. What is more Irreal (love your word “irreality”) than something that can look like a fingernail, an egg, a lamp, a grapefruit…AND a face?
Every new post of your contains treasure, Marta.

Marta….I so love your vision of a theme. So delicately you weave words together to paint a portrait for your readers. Though I can’t read the Catalan, know how much that impresses me to see you bridge so many languages.
I’m in awe, Marta…truly.

Thank you. I just listen to the inner voice of my soul and write what comes to the mind. English is my third language but it is easy for me to write in this tongue because I am very emotionally attached to it for various reasons. My WP readership is mainly English speaking.

This is the first piece of yours I’ve read, and I feel a real kinship and connection to your words, in fact I just used a line about the moon’s ripples in my latest poem, how beautiful is that symmetry? Escape, illusion, and hope, so beautifully portrayed by you in this poem. In two languages! Amazing. Great to have found your work, I’ll be back.

You took me on a beautiful adventure with this poem, my friend. Sometimes I relate being lost at sea to life. I imagine the tug of war one feels between having hope of getting to that special destination and giving up, feeling like that place will never be seen. You paint that picture here so perfectly. Wonderful poem, Marta!
