Metamorfosis (Español + English)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*=*=*=*=*=Metamorfosis”

a bilingual poem by Andre E Bendavi Ben yehu


El azogue plateado gris brillante,

Mercurio que purifica metales;

Tragando metal noble, y sus males

En masa rica, gris-azul radiante.


Cual sal que cristaliza, titilante;

Clorato de sodio en puros cristales,

Mineral, animal, son todos reales,

Transformando de carbón a diamante.


¡Este reino de transustanciación,

Reencarnación y transfiguración,

Es el reino donde todo se anima!


Soy sólo una minúscula fracción;

Ser vivo de la química en acción...

¡Metamorfosis humana de enzima!



TransVersion/Translation.

*=*=*="Metamorphosis"

I am a quicksilver, – mineral soul, –
Mercury that mixes all noble metals,
Swallowing all composts and flower petals
As a river… bluish-gray on to life’s goal!

Salt that catalyzes and hardens the bole;
Chlorate of sodium in crystal, a fetal…
I’m mineral, animal… live to settle,
Transforming all soft in diamond from coal.

This kingdom in an ever transformation,
Reincarnation and life’s transfiguration,
Is the macro realm where all cosmos rhyme!

I’m only a unique minuscule fraction,
Made live through bio-chemistry in action,
A human metamorphosis of enzyme!

Mystical and mesmerising - the catalyst is everything! Your poetry is especially beautiful in the fluid language of Spanish - and your message is divine! TY for this quicksilver write, Andre, which flashes with inspiration as a sword! Kate xx

I am not as of yet blessed to be able to decipher the language but the beauty (and what little Spanish I took for one semester years ago in high school) of this poem of yours tells me this (and I may be way off base but here goes)

Plateaus, Brilliance, the Changing of the Elements, Purity in all Life Forms with the Strength and Endurance of the Diamond, Taking Action and Not Sitting Still as Life Happens to Us as Poets instead of Poets Happening To Life.

That's what the poem became, that's what the poem spoke in it's own language to me. And it's empowering. thank you,

Gracias A Las Musas (Español / English)

=*=*=“Gracias A Las Musas”



Tengo que ir al templo de la cultura;

Quiero promover una romería,

Procesión al altar sabiduría,

Para donar mi cuota de ternura...


Llegaremos, romeros, de alma pura;

Cantaremos juntos por todo el día,

Canciones en honor a la Maestría

Con preces que el mal ignorancia cura.


Nuestro sendero romeral perfuma

Con flores azules y sus esencias,

Extraídas con el arte de las ciencias...


!Vengan conmigo, todos, sin excusas,

Mi culto es de gratitud a la suma

De bendiciones de las Nueve Musas!



TransVersion/Translation.
=*=*="Thanks To The Muses"


I go to the temple of the "Nine Towers",
I want to promote a pilgrimage, – revival, –
A Procession to the altar wisdom,
And in bliss, donate my quota of praises!

We will arrive, oh, compeers of pure soul!
We will sing together for the whole day,
Songs in honor of all teachers’ Mastership,
Who have lived to heal scars of ignorance!

Our path is the one that justice perfumes
With violet flowers and their essences,
Extracted with art under eyes of sciences...

People; come with me without vain excuses!
My cult is from gratitude to the sum
Of our Gifts blessed by all inspiring Muses!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Brothers! Turn not your eyes
from the same heavenly skies!
The past is past,
wasted by division.

Brothers! Turn back your minds
to sacral times of insemination!
The past can last
beyond revision.

Brothers! Turn out your hearts!
Restart the Art of edification!
The past will last
beyond allocation.

Brothers! Turn now your eyes
to the same heavenly skies!
The past is past,
ready for revision.

Outstanding historical writing of poetic magnificence - alerting and calling for good sense - guiding to justice and harmony.

This is a poem that flows on to fulfill Poetry mission.

We are all one under GOD, and its a shame that there is this dictatorial attitude amongst the rank and file of religious orders.
Still God will see to all in his time.
Interesting write Erin.
