In between old pages
So many images of life
Happy faces, dreamful eyes
Children running in dust clouds
Youth in its finest hours
Hills covered in fog
Fertile vineyards
In a view of a village
Known by heart
———
Figs growing
Out of naked boulders
A slow mountain stream
Siping
Under its roots
Small hands picking
The ripest fruits – laughing
Someone is leaving
With packed suitcase
And heavy heart
Lonely person standing
In the middle of street – waving
Frozen in time …
———
Frozen in time are voices
Scenes of sunrise, red sunsets
Aching sighs, first love
Frozen in time is the blue sky
Quiet wind
Naked trees in the snow
Burden of loss
Wilted wreath on mother’s grave
Migratory birds suspended
In autumnal air
———
Frozen in time is a girl
Wearing a black leotard
And a pair of ballet shoes
Bursting with happiness
A woman
White with age
Immersed into the past
Turning precious
Album leafs
Looking into the well
Of one lifetime
Reflecting …
On captured memories …
