Tervitus!!! :)
Ma tean, et ma ei lubanud postitada enne, kui keelelaager läbi on (mida see kohe tegelt ka on), kuid eilse Talendishow jaoks olin ma teinud ühe inglisekeelse luuletuse vahetusaasta rõõmudest ja raskustest. See pälvis palju heakskiitu ja ka pisaraid seega ma mõtlesin, et äkki meeldiks seda teistelegi (ja võib-olla isegi tulevastele vahetusõpilastele) lugeda.
Seega siin see on, minu kiiruga tehtud luuletus (1 h pidin valmis saama)
An exchange student journey – from nothing to everything
Liis Lõhmus
An airplane ticket in the pocket
A slight breeze in your hair
This is how it all began
This is how the journey started
You close the backdoor locker
Locker of your old life
Last kisses and hugs
Made by
Your family
Friends
Closest people you know
They look so happy, so joyful and amazed
But in your heart you know
This is just not the case
Airplane makes really noises
That's what you know
But it never seemed to matter, it never seemed true
You listen the voices, smells and rustles
People passing by
Talking and chatting of meanigless things
You hear their voices
But yet never you're present
When you're finally there
There in new world
There in your own new home for many-many months
You feel the excitement ties
But it doesn't seem to count
You're still so raw, so fluffy and young
Still not knowing, guessing or searching
Where the truth of your exchange year unfolds and lies
With courage in your heart
With unwavering scream in your soul
You step out into the sunlight centrum
Seeing so much new, new is gold
New people, new city, new emotions popping up
You feel the happiness, you feel like flying
Yet it isn't there to stay
Cause first and new is always good
But it doesn't determine the permanent mood
Soon the amazeness goes
And you'll find yourself
Sitting in your bed
At 3 am
Caught by the chocolate boxes and sweets
Not even knowing
When it all is said
When the tears will end and the misery fade
No one seems to understand your feelings and thoughts
And no one seems to realise that you're alone in this world
Alone, alone in the brand new world you're slowly blending in
Trying to make connections and trying to find friends
Black tunnel it stays
Or so it seems
You can't see the light, you can't feel the hope
Your life is on freeze and you wanna go home
Cause home is safe, traditional and great
But then
Stepping out into the brightness again
Acknowledging the never ending truth
That life is a series of lessons and experinces
A possibility to fully live and shine
A possibility to create new ties and worlds
A possibility to learn something from everyone
A possibility to turn nothing to everything
A reason to let your mind to calm and your heart to trust
The value of exchange year
And the value of making new, astonishing, wonderful worlds
And realising that a year from your life is nothing to be compared
To your whole life time ahead
Days will pass and the months will go
You start feeling better, you start feeling slight
People will come and finally stay,
not for hours or very short time
The language seems amazing and oh what a wonder
You finally understand that!
Your true family in your true country
Is lingering in your heart
Like a forever flowing song, an infinity's lake
It doesn't seem that hard
That exchange year
Cause you're never really far from the people you love
Or from the friends you cherish and adore and like
For they live in your soul
In the fragments of your being
And in the bottom of your heart
You know you'll be there
With them in the huge embrace
But yet never forgetting
The new world you created
Within few months
With the new people that became like family
With the new country that growed its roots to you
And with the new feeling of home
Between your home land and the other
Ever glowing in your soul
In you, fabolous exchange student
Who created a new world
And turned it from nothing to everything
Kallid teile,
Liis
