Remembering our Parents.

in #writing7 years ago (edited)
With the weather that is doing in the world, I think it will be good to have something to remind...

Peep out every time the Sun appears, receive its rays, because they are your feed. This Earth on which we tread, how she hold us you must understand. They've made grow everything we perceive with our senses and even what we can't even imagine, because we're so close to that. And there's this strange daughter of them, the Moon, who has molded everything with her strength.

They know everything. They've seen everything about us, they become acquainted with everything about us. They, with their infinite Light, Fertility and Impulse, are also screaming at us. With the weather of these times in which we live, there's something that we must be full aware, they are here, and we must also talk to them. Talk to them as human beings, it's the only way we would be heard by them. I don't know how to explain, but with all certainty you have to speak in a meaningful way.

The time and its weather impose on you the velocity and deceive, the earthquakes follow social events and a cut of entertainment pass then. We fall on our knees praying to the news while we wait our city to be hurricane free. Somnolent sirens sing from important seats and the truth fades in the communal skin. Our true Parents walking lost we forget.

Our Parents never forgot theirs, it's part of their nature, this is the way they were born and they will never do it until their Time ends. We live in the sphere that Moon, Sun and Earth, created. Over all the creatures they distribute their love, to which that has a single cell, to that which is counted in tons, whom moves faster, whom of the place never moves, which crawls, which flies, whom breathes water or air, to which hunts, to which is prey, to which is stone. To each one they gave infinite gifts, and human weren't excluded in no way, although with ours, based on pride and selfishness, we have been doing the vile. But there are our Parents, showing us the way, They, outstanding sons of someone that we can call the true God.

Receive the Sun, feel firm on Earth and let the Moon enter your heart. Our Parents ask for that, and they'll always be there.

Sometime ago I met a man from Veracruz, a dancer in Europe... An indigenous. One of the things he told me was that trees are our grandparents...
Thanks for your upvote in my just published post. And, of course, I have upvoted this one.
Waiting for a Lilith's story writen by you in a future,
Yours faithfully
@margaritabokusumina :)

Yes it's common to relate the trees with life, I was not aware of this version of them as our grandparents but its posible!!
Trees are another theme besides Lilith that you have bring to me!!!
Te abrazo mucho y te andaré visitando y comentando más, @margaritabokusu!!! :D

You have done a wonderful job with your English translation of your work, @leveuf! I have upvoted and resteemed this post. It is a great example of the kind of quality writing that is a benefit to all. You have expressed some heartfelt emotions and ideas, and I think that you have succeeded in keeping the poetic quality of the original Spanish version as you translated it to English. There are a few areas of punctuation that could be changed, but even some of those have several options between punctuation rules can be purposely ignored or stretched to achieve greater emotional impact in creative writing and poetry in English. English sentence structure and grammar usage is a skill that can be improved by exploring different options, and working to mold your work as if a blacksmith at the anvil. May I work with you through chat to take this piece, and go through a process of multiple revisions to allow you to experience and practice some of the technical options you could employ? Then, you could publish another translation of this piece, and interested people could compare the two, and learn some of the nuances through seeing the differences. It would be wonderful if people then made comments on the new piece which would allow you to share about the process you went through in deciding how to arrive at the final version. What do you think? This might take several weeks or more because of our mutual schedules and work loads, but that's okay. What do you think about this idea? This is a great piece to do this process with because it has a lot of options built within it for poetic license (meaning the author purposefully breaks the grammatical rules to create a more impactfull piece), and it is fairly short and has a simple, although profound, message. Cheers!

Thank you very much, @mitneb for your review of this work and your wonderful words, they are a great impulse in this adventure!!! :D
Of course I'll be glad working with you with this text in the chat. But I propose you this, you make the new plublication explaining this process and the results, maybe you can include these comments as screenshoots for better show the process, of course you mention me as the author and I can resteem the post. I think this process can give you more visibility as a guide for people like me and encourage them to work and share with you, and you publish your great work as curator and tutor for develope english skills!! Besides, you would publish your creative work too!!! :)
As always, I send you my best regards and the best vibes for the project!!! :D
PS. I will work the next translation soon, I will try with a poem!! :)

I like your idea, @leveuf! I will not be able to begin working on it until towards the end of this month since I am on vacation right now, but I will be looking forward to tackling it when I get back home. Cheers!

Souds great!!! Enjoy your vacations and will be working soon!!! Cheers!! :)
