A
song of night
A
sleeping pill, a bit of moon,
and endless fascination!
Night
knows all, my failure and inadequacy..
You
know the principles of success.
My
hands and feet are running,
the
head is fixed, the neighbor's
cat
is sleeping on the sun.
Afternoon
light hangs
from
the roof cornice.
I
raise my hands before
the
sunset, before the vanishing blues.
Let
the night stand on the porch today.
Let
me dream and make the night
Sleepless
without a pill.
Equilibrium.
I thought it as a miracle of
life happened to me,
an unusual break of usual breathe.
A change-over game is playing in
The middle chapter of my biography.
All
the ingredients are stocked,
along
with anxiety and tension
mingled
with smell of victory and defeat.
I
try to understand the concept of magic realism.
Going
down and floating again on
the
vast sea without life jacket taught me
how
to reach the shore of hope…
A
faint streak of light comes from
a
distant light house!
In
the middle of life, I needed a magical chair
