Ma voi desparti de tine / Richard Rose

Ma voi desparti de tine
Nu printr-un “La Revedere” concret.
Ci subtil
Precum cineva care paseste in subtilitate
Pentru ca cuvintele, simboluri ale confuziei
Nu ar face decat sa mareasca confuzia
Dar linistea, parand a fi confuzie,
Va fi cadenta mea
Pe care intr-o zi
O vei intelege.

“I Will Take Leave of You”

( by Richard Rose, from his book Carillon)

I will take leave of you
Not by distinct farewell
But vaguely
As one entering vagueness
For words, symbols of confusion
Would only increase confusion
But silence, seeming to be vagueness,
Shall be my cadence,
Which someday
You will understand.
