Easter Island [A Poem; in Spanish and English Now]

 
Author: Dennis Siluk

This is an Island, in the remotest sea

Where the soft sunset dies,
Where earth and sky meet.
Where eastern shores awake

To rapid heart beats!...
Where ancient statues stand and stare:
Beneath its blue, common skies.

Note by the author: "Easter Island, some 2500-miles off the coast of Chile, is perhaps the most remote island in the world. I visited it in 6/2002. I had called David Hatcher Childress [an explorer of mysteries around the world] up and talked to him about his trip to Easter Island, my house in Peru, and a few of his books, and was hoping to go with his group to the island, but the timing was not good, and I had to wait some months beyond his date to go. I stayed at a nice motel, where the movie star Kevin Costner, had stayed during the filming of his movie, of the Moai people. And rented a jeep, and thus, traveled a week all over the small island, with its some 600-statues. The spirits in some of these towering stone statues"some weighting 90-tons"had no intentions of leaving their once dominated abode; yes, still lingering and enduring the times, and unwilling to let go of the island. With all it mysteries, I found the sunset there to be the best I have yet witnessed around the world."

In Spanish
Translated by Nancy Penaloza

Isla de Pascua
(Un poema)

Esta es una isla, en el mar ms remoto
Donde la puesta del sol suave muere,
Donde la tierra y el cielo se encuentran.
Donde las playas del este se despiertan
Al corazn rpido golpean!....
Donde las estatuas antiguas estn de pie y miran fijamente
Bajo sus cielos azules y comunes.

"Isla de Pascua, aproximadamente 2,500 millas de la costa de Chile, es quizs, la mas antigua isla en el mundo. Yo la visit en 6/2002. Yo haba llamado a David Hatcher childress (Un explorador de misterios alrededor del mundo) y haba hablado con l acerca de su viaje a la Isla de Pascua, mi casa en Per y algunos de sus libros, y esperaba ir con su grupo a la isla, pero el engranaje de distribucin no estaba bien, y yo tuve que esperar algunos meses mas all de su fecha para ir. Me qued en un motel muy confortable, donde Kevin Costner, haba permanecido durante la filmacin de su pelcula, de la gente de Moai. Y alquil un Jeep, y as, viaj una semana por toda la pequea isla, con unas 600-estatuas. Los espritus en algunas de estas altsimas estatuas de piedra-algunas pesando 90 toneladas no tenan ninguna intencin de abandonar su alguna vez denominada morada; si, todava tardando y aguantando el tiempo, e indispuesto de dejar ir la isla. Con todo sus misterios, yo encontr la puesta del sol all siendo lo mejor que yo haba atestiguado alrededor del mundo."
