COSTICA GHEORGHE (1927-2007)

This tribute to Costica Gheorge by his son Andrei Dorian Gheorghe was published recently in METEOR CONTEMPORARY POETRY PROJECT NEWSLETTER (10).

The issue is dedicated to Costica Gheorghe (1927-2007, participant at the International Meteor Conference 2000 in Pucioasa, Romania), whose anonymous efforts helped very much the Meteor Contemporary Poetry Project and the Astropoetry Shows of the International Meteor Conference.

TO COSTICA GHEORGHE (1927-2007),
A MAJOR SUPPORTER OF THE METEOR CONTEMPORARY POETRY PROJECT


Father,
do you remember the Perseid nights
when we watched like two children
the meteors dance among the joyous stars?

Father,
do you remember how enthusiastically
you and my mother vibrated and helped me
in preparing astro and meteor exhibitions,
astropoetry galas
and international astroshows?

Maybe some day we shall be together again,
free to admire all the meteor showers
in the Universe,
free to prepare other exhibitions,
galas and astroshows
for other worlds,
better than this tragic Earth.

You, my mother and me,
we ourselves three falling stars.

Andrei Dorian Gheorghe (Romania)
