The Battlements

I mistrustly approach towards the massive and silent walls. I feel the threat, so I move forward slowly, resolutely and carefully. So far I relied on my strong hands and I'm sure I can count in the future as well. My body is tense. One step. One more step. I'm careful while lurking. I'm ready when a silex ax from above the walls... read more

Autumn is roaring

An agonic sound,

Birds are flying

And hiding around.

Rain is dropping... read more

Lacustrine

So many nights I hear raining,

I listen to the matter crying...

I'm alone and think

About lake houses are to sink.

It seems I sleep on wet wood,

A wave hit me and understood... read more

A Paradoxical Friend

I have never understood the paradoxes of my friend Teofil. He judges all in reverse; in every case where we are accustomed to giving an explanation that we have prepared, without having to worry about being original, Teofil finds an entirely unusual explanation. He's extravagant in everything... read more

Drowsy birds at even gliding,

Round about their nests alight, 

In among the branches hiding -

Dear, good night !

Silence through the forest creeping,

Lullaby the river sighs;

In the garden flower sleeping -

Shut your eyes ! ... read more

The Colours

Be the Best of Whatever You Are

If you can't be a fir on the top of the hill,

Be a bush in the valley - but be 

The best little bush by the side of the rill;

Be a bush if you cant be a tree...

                        

If you can't be a bush, be a bit of the grass,

And some highway happier make.

If you can't be an ocean, you still have a pass

If you are the most wonderful lake... read more
