as i promised here is this poem in english:

We unborn ones
Already yearning is beginning to shape us
The shores of blood open up to welcome us
We sink like dew into love
Still the shadows of time lie like queries
Over our secret.

You lovers,
Full of yearning
Hark, you who are failing with farewells,
We are those whose life is beginning in your eyes,
In your hands, who are searching in the blue air –
We are those bringing the scent of tomorrow’s dawn.
Already your breath draws us in,
Bears us down into your slumber
Into the dreams, the soil where we are planted,
Where our black nurse, the night,
Helps us grow
Until we are mirrored in your eyes
Until we speak into your ear.

Like butterflies
Caught by the captors
of your yearning –
Sold to the earth like birds’ voices –
We new-dawn-scented ones,
We are lights yet to come for your
Sorrow.

today's poem is stunningly perfect.

"hymn to beauty" by charles baudelaire.

here are a couple of links that analyses this poem and mr. baudelaire himself:

encyclopedia.com
wild decadents

the poem is part of the book "fleurs du mal" (the flowers of evil) and there is a website in tribute to the book:) :
fleurs du mal

of course i had to share what i am currently practicing, so that is the start of this podcast.

and my adorable singing teacher i mention is:

malin andersson

today's reading is by may sarton and her poem: "now i become myself".

the podcast i am mentioning is : cultivating place

in today's episode i am gifting you 2 wonderful poems.

me from myself - to banish by emily dickinson
and
love after love by derek walcott

i am an avid listener to cathy heller's podcast and this morning i listened to her episode with guest jon kabat-zinn which was a brilliant conversation, he is the one who paired these 2 poems and shared wisdom around them. it inspired me to share them here plus the take aways cathy shared at the end of the episode.
here is the episode's website.

i am wishing you a beautiful 2024:) xx alice saga
