The international team of the multilingual magazine ArtMedia presents a translation of a poem by Oksana Zhukova (Sky) into Italian by a poetess from Italy Maria Miraglia
Vivo sul pianeta dell’AMORE,
Sotto una costellazione di meraviglie e sogni ad occhi aperti.
Fuori dalla mia finestra c’è un giardino di fantasie,
Oltre le colline c’è un lago di rose.
Faccio il bagno nel mare delle speranze,
Dove un tramonto viola sta morendo,
E le pietre color terracotta e beige
Conversano con le onde azzurre.
Un’ondata di gentilezza lascia sabbia nei palmi delle mie mani
È un tocco tenero
E le nuvole piumate
Insieme al cielo, mi dai.
Author — Oksana Zhukova
