Almost like a reality—the one

To end in madness—both in misery.’

Writing Poem 'Time' and Mix Media Drawing

Mix media drawing ‘’Where Our Brain Meets’’; I.G.

Time

She is nice and kind, as the source of water transparent

If you touch – drops on fingers melting

Every day blooming like flowers awakened Spring.

Her soul is naive, still young and girlish.

But in the face – marks of wrinkles

From passed away summers, felt snow,

From the multitude of lives,

Even more – survived deaths

The ghost of loneliness reflects timidly.

Discover her in a crowd between many people

Not knowing a name, face and city.

Usually she does not pronounce: ‘’I am… you!’’

She is so! ... She - proud ... She is ... weak by waiting

It flows freely through you as by stars ornamented
