The Shining Jar - (La jarra brillante)



Collect your every
Moment
Of joy
Of love
Of light
Like fireflies
On a summer night

Gently gathered
In a jar
In a heart
Both sturdy
And transparent

Hold them tightly
But let them breathe
Let all their glows
Combined
Warm you
Let all their light
Fill you

And then
Release them
For moments
Like fireflies
Will wither
Their shining fade
If held too long.

Smile as they fly away
For the time has come
To gather more




Recoger su cada
Momento
De la alegría
De amor
De la luz
Como luciérnagas
En una noche de verano

Suavemente se reunieron
En un frasco
En el corazón
Ambos robusto
Y transparente

Mantenerlos firmemente
Pero dejarlos respirar
Dejó todos sus resplandores
Combinado
Entrar en calor
Deje toda su luz
Llene

Y luego
Liberarlos
Por momentos
Como luciérnagas
Se marchitará
Su brillante se descolora
Si llevan a cabo demasiado largo.

Sonríe como se van volando
Por el momento ha llegado
Para recopilar más

  2. This is lovely. You always see firefires in movies or hear about them in stories but I've actually never seen them in real life!

    2. Shamu, I am officially nominating you for the Lobster award now-you don't have to do the nominating thing but please answer my questions, if you want to. Please know that in the couple of weeks I've been reading your blog and you mine, I think you are very kind and generous and you deserve to have lots of friends!
