Evening
in November (English)
Shadows
intensify
in
the fog of time.
Errors
come to life
like
dew on autumnal meadows.
In
between fade
the
dreams as if never dreamed
and
the hours pass by
in
the immersing light.
Words
which do not repeat
glide
away in the distance,
the
day is lost
with
last glow of a dying sun
on
this cool November evening
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Novemberabend
(German)
Schatten verdichten sich
im Nebel der Zeit.
Irrtümer werden lebendig
wie Tau auf herbstlichen
Wiesen.
Dazwischen verblassen
die Träume wie ungeträumt
und die Stunden vergehen
im versinkenden Licht.
Worte, die sich nicht
wiederholen
verklingen in der Ferne,
der Tag verliert sich
mit letztem Glühen der Sonne
am kühlen Novemberabend
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tarde
en noviembre (Spanish)
Las sombras se intensifican
en la niebla del tiempo.
Los errores están vivos
como el rocío sobre los
prados otoñales.
En medio se desteñen
los sueños como si
jamás soñado
y las horas pasan
con la luz que hunde.
Palabras que no se repiten
se pierden lejos en la
distancia,
el día se desvanece
con el último resplandor del
sol
en la fresca noche de
noviembre

ReplyDeletethe 'errors' with autumnal dew of the meadows. That being said, enjoyed the different view, expressed in this evening! All the best Ralph.
Hi,Ralph, when I linked 'errors' with 'autumnal dew' I thought about 'errors' became suddenly visible like dew on meadows.
