Ausdauer

[Prochnost]

There’s so much anger and so much pain
and every time you hear a knock
your body changes, your peace disturbed.
Another one wanting in,
then another one out, another friend gone.

You breathe in, breathe out slowly,
your face hardens, sunken.
A mask hiding all the past agony.
It’s never easy to close the door,
to say good-bye.

But they are on the unknown.
You have gotten a secret source of strength,
one that everyday whispers
the sweetest word in the world,
Mom.

 

[Flor de agosto]

Reads like loss suffered leaving a great void. “Mom”...is the sweetest word in the world, to most. A definite port of serenity for me.
Congratulations on a beautiful composition. I had to google translate the title, which I. Or know as Endurance.

Regards

Thank you for passing by and reading the poem, Flor. I’m humbled beyond words, by the way, it also means, Tenacity, persistence. It’s an ode to all those single moms out there struggling to make ends with while rising their kids. Hope you are having a great Sunday.

 

[Gustavo Cervantes]

Indeed... mothers have that type of determination...
and also "mano dura"... perhaps it doesn't have the same meaning but the "vara"
was dura.... and the "chancla"
nice thoughts Proch

Dear New Old Friend and Poet @Prochnost :
.
.
I like the poem, from its German name to its meaning...
.
It is a beautiful ode tribute to one of the most valuable and important beings in the life of every human being, just for having been and for being a vehicle of life and presence. I will never forget these lines, I carry them with me, they are very meaningful and authentic.
.
Thank you very much for sharing your Art
I congratulate you ☘
