To You, My reader!
Try to set aside your daily worries and step with me into this
Dream reality we call Poetry. Open wide the gate to your heart,
for these lines were written especially for you: born within my
heart, they were meant to arise from the world of thought-forms
and be clad into word-forms, so that they would appear- with destiny
fulfilled - to the ceremony of meeting you, my reader.
Simplicity, which is Truth in essence, can only be expressed
though silence: all the words in the world do nothing but attempt
to describe this. But it is self-knowledge - the simplest and
hardest ideal to accomplish - that is each person's goal and that
of the world entire, and to it alone we subordinate our quest.
At times, this quest takes the form of poetry.
Poets come and go, but they behind their quest to reveal Poetry's
unseen face. For this face looks on us without judgment from beyond
the veil of Illusion.
Elena Liliana Popescu

If you could ever
Measure the immeasurable,
Take in the boundlessness
And, walking across nothingness,
Be neither one nor the other;
If you could ever
Be love without loving,
Be hope without hoping,
Be speech
without speaking,
Be thought without thinking; |
|
If you could ever
Hear the unheard,
Look into the unseen
And learn the unknown-
Would there be a new beginning?

Si immensum nos metiri
aliquando possimus
infinitumque ambire
atque, per nihilum euntes,
neque hoc esse neque illud...
Si possimus aliquando
amorem esse non amantes,
spem esse non sperantes,
verbum esse non loquentes,
mentem esse non cogitantes... |
Si possimus aliquando
inaudibile audire,
invisibile videre
et ignotum discere,
essetne novum principium?
