(Magyar: VERS: A világ minden szépsége)
Today is winter solstice: light, hope, rebirth. A poem for you, with love
BEAUTY OF THE WORLD
Just look around
and you will see
all the beauty of the world:
A little boy's mischievous glance,
bronze flashes in a girl's hair,
silver head of your mother,
eyes -- sky can't be that blue,
a winter day's crystal cold,
moss-grown stone in a wall of centuries,
velvet feet of little babies,
silk dancing shoes,
salad of seven colors,
tempting smile of a peach,
sigh of young trees,
old clock on that tower,
even a fast, red tram,
your favorite restaurant
or newest coffee cup,
ginger-cinnamon cake,
glowing candles,
powerful lightning,
skaters through the town,
songs from a guitar,
photos of a calendar, --
Can you see this?
It comes from you,
all the beauty of the world.
-- Andrea Gerák, 2000 January 15, Vienna (on my birthday)
A few songs and videos that I recorded also in Vienna: Travel With a Song: Vienna
