In an endless silence even screams sound silent.
We traveled long and forgot why poetry was invented.
To go where no one else has ever gone before is the secret of heroism.
To go against the grain is the secret of bravery.
To cut and tighten sentences is the secret of mastery.
When all is lost, there is still a memory.
Nothing reminds us of an awakening more than rain.
If you are only what you are,
You at least have a chance
Not to outsmart,
But be on a par with yourself
And that is worth trying.
To dream on occasion is not dreaming,
To love on occasion is not love.
Why poetry, you ask?
Because of life, I answer.
There is always the question why
And there is always life,
Which doesn't need an answer.
Everything seems impossible
And everything seems possible.
