Words, as powerful as they are, lack something when translated. Earlier this week there was a discussion at d’Verse Poetry Pub about the difficulty in translating poetry from one language to another.

Nothing is Lost in Translation

A sunset //a mountain vista // a flower in bloom
In the poetry of God // nothing is lost in translation
