Gebed by Elizabeth Kendall
Hierdie gedig is geskryf deur Zadu
Sy is my vriendin vir langer as twee jaar. Ons het mekaar nog nooit ontmoet nie. Sy is ’n talentvolle digter en wonderlike vriendin. My potloodskets en haar gedig vul mekaar aan, dink jy ook so?

Translation in English:
Prayer
my hands tremble in mine
in the deepest place
where I sometimes pray
my hands in prayer
too impoverished
too cautious
my soul howls
and cries out
my body wavers
in whispered fragments
of doubt
I pray too uncertainly
too blindly
the night is coal-black

I haven’t taken the time to translate to English, but the hands say it all. Very gentle.
Thanks for your lovely words Sally….I’ll make time to add a translation a.s.a.p. Much appreciated!
– Elizabeth Kendall
That’s ok. Maree told me to just copy and past into google translations. I will do that. Need to learn something new. Thanks
Sally, you can read the translation here
My friend, the poet (Zadu) was so kind to write it in English too! I’m sure you will enjoy it more than the Google translation! ;-)

sielvol en opreg gedoen…
Amen mooi julle twee!
Bàie dankie Jan!! ;-)

Die vertaling is uiters pragtig en boeiend Liz – ek lief die “too impoverished, too cautious …” – uitstekend!
Dankie Maree, ek dink ook so…..in Engels het dit ook weer ’n “ander” atmosfeer/gevoel né? Lieflik vir my!

Thanks for accepting Deborah!

Ja, ons kan mos al tussen die lyne lees! ;-)
