I Chase, Always.....
The bird hardly perches,
The welcoming wave recedes,
The breeze never halts,
Can't catch the sunbeams.
The fortnightly visitor silver,
Behind the clouded skies
Plays hide and seek.
Empty-handed,
Hope-ridden,
Stretching my hand,
I chase, always.
Amita Sanghvi
Io sono sempre in cerca ...
L'uccello si posa a stento,
L'onda di benvenuto si allontana,
La brezza non si ferma mai
Non riesco a prendere i raggi del sole.
L'argenteo visitatore quindicinale
Dietro i cieli nuvolosi
Gioca a nascondino.
A mani vuote,
Piena di speranza,
Allungo la mia mano
Io sono in cerca, sempre.
(Italian translation by Lidia Chiarelli)
