SERAPHIM - BIRD'S EXCHANGE / SERAFIM - SCHIMBUL DE PASĂRE (bilingual English and Romanian)

It is not known where he comes from, whose he is, and for how long?! They say that he... he, Seraphim... dwells in all of the people, but the people have lost themselves in their own vision: lying, killing, stabbing in the back, setting fire to distance, which they have never been able to fully cover. And still... and still... Seraphim is giving it another try, a last try, and he once again descends to live as a boarder in the heart of those who bear a name and plants a seedling for people to be able to harvest remoteness, again he descends amongst the people. But to no avail! Follow his story and then look into your mind and heart... Tired from his travels, one time Seraphim even meets God! An exchange will be made! Namely what... it remains to be discovered by you, through reading the tumultuous tale of Seraphim. (Florian Silisteanu - Romanian poet, translated by Procopie Clontea) Nu se stie inca de unde vine, al cui este si pana cand?! Se spune ca el... el Seraphim, locuieste in fiecare dintre oameni, dar oamenii s-au pierdut de mult in propria vedenie: mintind, ucigand, lovind pe la spate, dand foc distantei pe care nu au putut sa o implineasca niciodata. Si totusi... si totusi... Seraphim mai face o incercare, o ultima incercare si coboara din nou locuind cu chirie in inima celor ce au nume celor care pun rasad ca lumea sa poata culege tarziul, coboara din nou printre oameni. In zadar insa! Urmariti povestea lui si cautati mai apoi prin inima si prin gand... Obosit de calatorie, Seraphim se intalneste la un moment dat cu Dumnezeu! Va avea loc un schimb! Ce anume... ramane sa descoperiti dumneavoastra citind aceasta tulburatoare poveste a lui Seraphim! (Florian Silisteanu - poet roman)
