Danse Des Nympheas Poem by Ahmad Shiddiqi

Danse Des Nympheas

Rating: 5.0


(dedicated to Ms. Gitti Pirner, a talented pianist)

J'ai mis du temps à comprendre mes nympheas
water lilies
iris, willows
a little estate
in the country
a water garden

how magical
revelation
model
vision
pond

sensitivity
suggestive
at times fluid
a flow of colors
sometimes sigh

landscapes
reflections
obsession
far beyond
conveying

the mirror of water
the motif's essential
constantly being modified
by changing sky reflected in it
imbues it with life and movement

from one minute
to the next minute
they are all merely
the accompaniments
effect varies unceasingly

a stream
a garden
I love water
I love flowers
no boundaries
Un paysage ne vous imprègne pas en un jour

(inspired by Claude Monet's Le bassin aux nympheas)

a fine descriptive piece. one could easily visualize nymphs hovering over a clear pond eyeing their reflections and in joyful dance. I'm just guessing what the french phrases meant but they do add to the emchantment of the piece just by association with a romatic language

A beautiful word painting. Reminds me of my poem, DARLING OF THE WOODLAND. Just to close your eyes and to see such wonders. Magnificent! Very well written. Very well. GW62
