English/Czech - My City/ Moje město

Another poem about my favorite city - Prague.  This one was written last year and I finally am happy with my translation into Czech.  I hope you enjoy it.  Snad se Vám bude líbit i v češtině.

My City

Walking her streets

I feel that Prague

Is my city

An outsider

I know her well

In her grandeur

I am grounded

In her beauty

I’m exalted

I am at peace

For I am home

Moje město

Chodíc ulicemi

cítím že Praha

je moje město

Žijíc mimo

znám ji dobře

Z jejího majestátu

jsem jako k zemi přibitá

Z její nádhery

jako k nebi v znesená

Cítím klid

jsem doma

Welcome to AVR's Sentient Sentiments II

Good Morning and Welcome to my new blog site for AVR’s Sentient Sentiments.   My urls  (www.wordartiste.com and www.wordartiste-avr.com ) are now pointing to this site as Posterous has officially shut down.

I intend to continue to voice my views and share my creativity with you as I did on Posterous.  I hope you will bear with me as I learn to navigate the nuances of this site and that you will continue to follow me here.  Please feel free to leave your comments.

Also, I will do my best to incorporate more bilingual English/Czech posts at the urging of my very large family and friends in the Czech Republic.  To that end, I am slowly (very slowly) translating my poems into Czech – not as easy as it might seem to be.

I am looking forward to continuing a dialogue with you (my existing friends) and with new friends I hope to gain along the way.   

So I say welcome, sit down and have a cup of coffee or tea with me as I open my mind, heart and soul to you.
