Poignant poem, Nado, where do you get such gems? It is unfortunate due to language barrier we are not exposed to talent from other regions.
Hope all well with everyone,Padma, a return hug to you, keep safe you too. Have a good day everyone, be happy always!🤗
I know that you are all very sensitive and that you love poetry. I can't translate, but I found a site where some Serbian poets have been translated into English. I don't know how good that translation is.
Glad if you liked it, Vibha. ❤️

Spring Poem
While watching all these early buds and swallows,
I can feel tonight
that my heart’s slowly growing over sorrows
as someone’s horizon on smiley days might;
That it’s getting bigger like all plants around
and as light as feather,
and that all happiness that’s above the ground
and a Hell of pain wouldn’t really matter:
It’s longing for all things that a life as such
could give nice to thy,
and completely nothing wouldn’t be too much--
it’s eager desire and hopes are so high.
Everything that’s happened has been just a play
of my heart on fire;
my true love has never been given away
as much as I could and as I desire;
There are, in my deeps, gentle tides of words
never let outside;
I could give my heart to everyone on worlds,
yet, it would remain a lot of it inside.
