Gwylio Fy Ffrind Yn Esgus Nid Yw Ei Chalon Yn Torri

Ar y Ddaear, dim ond llwy de o seren niwtron
byddai'n pwyso chwe biliwn o dunelli. Chwe biliwn o dunelli
yn cyfateb i bwysau cyfunol pob anifail
ar y ddaear. Gan gynnwys y pryfed. Amseroedd tri.

Mae chwe biliwn o dunelli yn swnio'n amhosibl
nes i mi ystyried sut mae llyncu galar—
dim ond llwy de ac efallai bod un hefyd wedi'i fwyta
seren niwtron. Pa mor drwchus ydyw,
sut mae'n cario y tu mewn iddo y cof am gwymp.
Mor anodd yw symud felly.
Pa mor amhosibl credu bod unrhyw beth
gallai godi'r pwysau hwnnw.

Mae yna lawer o resymau dros drin ei gilydd
gyda thynerwch mawr. Un yw
y wyrth llwyr ein bod ni yma gyda'n gilydd
ar blaned sydd wedi'i hamgylchynu gan sêr sy'n marw.
Un yw na allwn weld beth
unrhyw un arall wedi llyncu.

This is the highest expression of grief and the best bridge to gratitude that I have ever read in my life! Speechless.

A very unique cinepoem - inspiring and thought-provoking, thanks. From cradle to coffin, life is a brief journey, declare several of our wise and elderly gems, who continue to remain young at heart. "There are many reasons to treat each other with great tenderness. One is the sheer miracle that we are here together on a planet surrounded by dying stars" - Rosemerry W. T.

Dear Good Folks at DailyGood, thank you for sharing my poem! There are two versions here, you have the most recent and somehow a very old version, too ... this here is the correct text, but on the home page there is text that includes a railway (which was the original, but I changed it several years ago ...) Sorry I let several versions into the world. How confusing! Can you please make them all this version (as it is on gratefulness.org). Thank you! Rosemerry
