Feldeinsamkeit (“Solitude in a Field” or "Through the Fields of Solitude")

Feldeinsamkeit (“Solitude in a Field” or "Through the Fields of Solitude")

 

by Hermann Allmers

translation by David B. Gosselin with Michael R. Burch 

 

Peacefully, I rest in the tall green grass

For a long time only gazing as I lie,

Caught in the endless hymn of crickets,

And encircled by a wonderful blue sky.

 

And the lovely white clouds floating across

The depths of the heavens are like silky lace;

I feel as though my soul has long since fled,

Softly drifting with them through eternal space.

Hi Author,
I have read your poem, and I really liked it. You have defined each character very well, and you have kept your work in such a way that it stands out. You could become an even better writer by continuing in this direction. It would be an honor for me if I could work with you as well. I am a commission artist, and I have worked on a lot of character art and book covers. If you think it's a good fit, I would love to create something for you as well.
