Wild horse

Άγριο άτι

Αγαπημένες μου φίλες, αγαπημένοι μου φίλοι, σας παραθέτω ένα ποίημά μου, γραμμένο ειδικά για τη Μίνι Σκυτάλη #3 που διοργανώνει με μεγάλη επιτυχία η Μαίρη. Πώς σας φαίνεται;

Dear friends, I present you my poem, written especially for the Mini Baton Pass #3 that Mary organises with great success. What do you think?


Εμπνεύστηκα από τη φωτογραφία της Μαίρης

Inspired by Mary's photo



Άγριο άτι

 

Θυμάμαι.
Σαν άνεμος να τρέχεις,
να σκορπίζεις πέρα τη χαρά.
Σαν τη φωτιά να παίζεις,
να μαζεύεις γύρω σου παιδιά.

Θυμάμαι.
Σαν άγριο άτι να καλπάζεις
μες τα ψηλά βουνά.
Σαν ήλιος να θερμαίνεις
τη λυπημένη μου καρδιά.

Θυμάμαι.
Ήσουν ελεύθερος
κι εγώ χαμογελούσα.
Το χιόνι όμως δεν άργησε
αν και το αμελούσα.

Κι ύστερα πάει, πέταξε κείνο το χελιδόνι,
ο χρυσαετός της νιότης σου,
το μαγεμένο πόνυ.
Θεέ μου κάνε να ξαναρθεί κι ας χάσω ό,τι να'ναι
να ματαδώ τον έμορφο πλάι μου πάλι να'ναι.
