DROPS OF LIGHT

*

a burning candle -
past days flicker in its flame
New Year's day

 

*

the sun got caught
in the child's
copper hair

 

Людмила Христова - Гори свещта...

Людмила Христова - Дойде есента...

 

*

cherry-trees turned white
just for a night
branches bathed in light

 

*

autumn came
little red flames gleam
in the dog-rose bush

 

*

trains never stop
at the old station
a lizard is basking in the sun

 

Людмила Христова - Не спират влакове...

*

the moon is in the well
the wooden pail
grew heavier

*

the river winds by the reeds
the wind keeps twisting
shadows around

*

the wind keeps lifting
the skirts of the girls
spring dates

 

 

Людмила Христова - Тича след вятъра...

 

*

purple dusk
fragrance of thyme
wafted on the wind

 

 

*

scent of roses
running after the wind
summertime
