The Ribbon of Infinity,

by J. W. Cassandra

I wrote the poem The Ribbon of Infinity yet in February 2025, but I have only just translated it. I have not placed it in any of my poetry books yet. The poem itself is an allegory: the fairy who turns around in a guise is the Earth itself. At the same time, she is much more than that. The dance of the fairy, the ribbon of the river, the beautiful cloud in the sky, the green skirt, the bodice dotted with volcanoes - everything invites to the cosmic dance: the blue river takes to infinity.

After the second stanza, there is a striking line, and after the last stanza, a two-line part closes the poem. Striking lines occur frequently in my poems.

I hope you feel the special mood that captured me in writing.

The blue river unfolded,
The ribbon of infinity:
It flows around the globe –
A fairy turns in guise.

On her green skirt is a blue ribbon,
On her brown bodice is the sea,
Dotted with volcanoes, lava,
And a beautiful cloud falls onto it.

It rotates up and down equally...

A holy river surrounds her waist,
The fireball burns on her bodice,
A fairy swings in a green skirt,
The Earth beckons to infinity.

The blue river unfolds,
Its ribbon goes to infinity...
