A LUZ --Portuguese -English

A LUZ

A luz que brilha dentro
é como uma chama de vela
tremulando ao vento,
uma vacilação da alma
em antecipação assustadora
abatido pelo Tempo
enfraquecido até morrer...

THE LIGHT
the light that shines within
is like a candle flame that
flickers in the wind
a soul wavering
in frightful anticipation
weathered by Time
and dying…

This is poetry! True poetry!Simple yet reflects true raw feelings
Who writes alike shall never die

Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words

of a candle popping and sputtering against the wind and the light that's shed showing the true human spirit. ~ Gee.
