Arwa Ben Dhia: Poem ‘Fallen Gods’

No matter what they tell you,

You are capable of much more

Than you think you are.

Indeed, you are fallen Gods.

There is much more in you,

You, with your weaknesses and volatility,

Than in Gods stayed in their Olympus.

The latter, with their dullness and eternity,

Truly envy your frailty and mortality.

Tell yourselves more of your Divine nature,

Repeat it again and again till conviction,

Because there are no more powerful words,

Than those you utter to speak to yourselves.

Then, strive to be worth Gods.

Despite your earthly condition,

Make your Earth an Olympus!

What do Gods do?

They create in silence.

Create a better self.

Create a better future.

Create a better Life.

And wherever you go,

Spread Beauty!

Because Beauty is the reflection of divinity.

Namaste!

é tão monótona a tardezinha que não me aplaca
e ingentil o sol que minha natureza despedaça
quando parte dando aleivosamente sinais de fim

é melancólica a onda rasteira e larga que recua
deixando areia molhada e meio nua
nauseada do dourado, sal-choro me flagra

chegando lua indo o másculo sol sem pena
contrita venho alada engatinhando agachada
joelhos arranhados de grãos-passado ainda

a tarde é longa como o piscar lânguido
as energias ficaram na travessia trêmula
na boca o gosto-nostalgia da língua sôfrega

tarde do domingo domina alma do desejo
beija-me na praia de suaves grãos finos prateados
até que chumbo-noite faça-nos marejados
de mar enfim
