***[Põleda rõõmust ja harjuda korraga]

Põleda rõõmust ja harjuda korraga –
kuidas küll suudaksin mõlemat korraga?

Teada, et laheneb kõik iseenesest,
ometi viimseni anda kõik enesest,

väsida õnnest ja õppida vaevust,
leebusekübemeid noppida raevust,

leppida tõrkuvalt, pageda leplikult,
teades, et miski ei püsi lõplikult,

pettumust peita ja solvumist salata,
kukkumast tõusta ja uuesti alata,

kosuda äkki ja kiirelt eimillestki –
pilgust ja sõnast ja müüdavast lillestki –

kõik on nii kirju ja kõik tuleb korraga,
kuidas siis harjuda argise korraga!

Leelo Tungal is a poet, prose writer and translator. She has written more than 70 books for children and young people, both prose and poetry, and 12 poetry collections for adults.

Tungal made her debut at the age of 18 during the "golden sixties". Her early works are characterized by a bright sense of nature rich in nuances. Angsts and hopes, as well as a sensitive and immediate sharing in social changes all arise in Tungal's poems published in the late 80s. In the early 90s, hesitations and sometimes dark moods are expressed in her poetry collections. In the 2000s, Tungal has moved towards a more distanced perspective and an analytic tone.
