SPIRIT


KRIICH

De loftskippen stean stil
te wachtsjen, spoarleas
tebekwike as ferweesde
astronauten sûnder sike.

De loft ûntjout him wider
en wjerkeatst in lichter lûd,
de kime leit fierder fuort
foar wa’t de fierte siket.

Dochs jou ik ferbiten en
ferside yn de fjochtgroppen
fan de nije tiid gjin belies:

sadree‘t de striid belunet
sil ik foar de wyn rimpen
nei myn loftkastielen sile.





SPIRIT

The airships stand still
waiting without a trace,
taken aback and lost
as breathless astronauts.

The sky is getting wider
rebounding  lighter sounds,
the horizon is further away
for those who seek expanse.

Determined though and hidden
in the trenches of a new age
I will not renounce my plans:

once the struggle is over,
a tailwind will swiftly sail me 
to my castles far away.
