Kolemjdoucí cílem znaven

Kolemjdoucí cílem znaven

A Poem by Egst
"

Cíl, který není

"
Vysoko až k nebesům
Křížem shora osedlán
Roste kámen, kov a sklo
Již jen vzpomínkou se jeví
Kolemjdoucí paprsky
Již jen zaclání
Lomené pozorovatele
Neznámem nezaujmou
Sklem rozbitým
Do obrazů myšlenky
Snad jen lehce pozastaví
Alespoň tu část pozornosti
Mimo spěch a cíl

Dovnitř sálají tepla ruce
Chytající do hlubokého
Kamsi směřujícího
K věčnému klidu
Který není
Cílem
Který
Není
A brief translation:
High t'wards heavens
Saddled by a crucifix
Stone, glass, and metal grow
Now as only memories they seem
Passing beams of light
Now only shade
Refracted watchers
Won't get caught in the unknown
With broken glass
In pictures of their thoughts
Only may they stop
At least the part of focus
Beyond their rush and goals
Inwards radiate the hands of warmth
Catching somewhere deep
Leading somewhere
Towards eternal peace
Which is missing
The goal
Missing

Author's Note

Egst
Maybe someone around here speaks some Czech? The English translation is pretty accurate, but it's hard to catch the intended uncertainty of the meaning (grouping different lines to form a different sentence) in the original version. No rhymes here, only the rhythm flow.
