Here's the promised translation of the third part of my "Dark Night"-cycle. I feel as if I'm getting worse in translating :/
Somehow I get lessed satisfied with those and I so wish I had the ability to fully capture what I meant.
Translations into other languages are still welcome!

Wow, the IMAGES, Khisa! Translation or not, the images you conjure here are VERY poignant. Without being able to read the original, I can't really say much about the translation itself, but I think this came out very well. You did a beautiful job of creating the image in my mind, which is one of the main things I ask from a piece like this. Great job. :)
Thank you :) - yes, since I am not good at painting with a brush I told myself I want to learn how to paint pictures with mere words, therefore I tried to create a lot of images. The German original has some figures of speech I cannot translate, though most people would not believe it German can be quite flexible and provide you with a lot of words where you have just one or two in English (most people would think it's just the other way round, it just depends, sometimes it is, sometimes it is not).
Most languages can be amazingly evocative in their ability to create images and emotions. Especially ones with a long history, those tend to have the most powerful connotations in their verbiage. :) Either way to create an image can be equally beautiful, and is a grand display of skill. I think you've done a very fine job.
