Alicja Maria Kuberska’s poems
1.The Beginning of Spring
The Earth like a mother
is so kind and caring.
In spring, she brings flowers to life
She kisses bulbs, seeds and rootstocks
and invites them to peek out
from under the turves.
She lets trees dress up in buds
and juices circulate on branches.
She summons migratory birds
and scatters twitter
among the clouds.
She watches how the rain
falls on the fields and meadows
and makes sure that grains and grasses
will produce large seeds.
She often cries in the morning.
Maybe the dew is the words of her prayer?
2.Among stars
I wait for the downpour of stars,
Maybe I have time to whisper a wish.
I look with hope to the Leonids.
I believe that I will see the falling sparks.
The dancing Pleiades stirred up a cloud of dust.
Jealous Orion will not overtake them
And Sirius will not find the seven nymphs.
Morpheus leads to the land of sleep
Somewhere on the edge of the River Styx.
My beloved knows the secrets of existence
And all the metamorphoses of the cosmos.
Every night he carries me in his arms
And gives to the possession of Apollo and the muses.
He plaits visions into prophetic premonitions.
Berenice sacrificed her golden braid to the heavens.
She explains sadly,
That she has not found happiness on Earth
Among the gods and among stars
