ek wil rus - i want to rest
by jeannine davidoffek is moeg
en ek will alles
uitspoeg
al die omkraplikheid
al die stres
al die frustrasie
ek wil rus
op eilande
van verwonder
sade saai
met vrede
i am tired
and i want to spit
everything out
all the discomfort
all the stress
all the frustration
i want to rest
on islands
of wonder
sow seeds
with peace

Thanks for that. I will have a better day.
scribler Nov 6, 2011
Yes, a good day and a good rest. I am wondering if the writing is Dutch or Afrikaans though. I like the idea that troubles can be spat out.
