Driftwood
haiku driftwood 
Posted by Alexander Hender Thu, Sep 4th 2008, 21:56 :: English
Drifting wood tumbles,
Trapped in familiar streams,
Slow, graceful circles.
Borne on infinite waters,
Of distant oceans, it dreams.
Hindi translation by Rebba Singh. Posted on Sat, Sep 6th 2008, 13:28

ulatt-ti-palatt-ti tehaniein bahein,

phansein kuch jaaney pahechaaney hamrah-e-aab mein,

dheemey, mautabaana hain ghoomaav.

taerein beant paani par,

swapan doorast samundar ke.

yes alexander...

*curtesy*

this particular hindustani translation...
*bows*
to numerous other such cascading offerings from friends ~
"boughs" and "boughs" and "boughs" of blossoms
"Borne on infinite waters,
Of distant oceans," as "it dreams"...on and on and on...into eternity...
