KOZETA ZAVALANI

I AM THE TREE PLANTED BY THE RIVER

I am the tree planted by the river,

that will not ever suck out.

Something has choked the dream.

lost in the darkness of dust,

as shroud covering the dead.

Angels, crouched for a long time

They are beyond the wall of the world,

Where a river sings a beautiful song,

flowing in peace ...

We are all equal in God's eyes.

But we are not the same in our midst.

We have created many barriers between us.

We are so small in the big world

Often scared to lose

But not because of faith.

Who believes that God knows,

It is there to help

Times can be like a butterfly

the wind blows where he wants,

Times can be like a bird

that flies in the sky above.

Young people are in this big world

Change from the

we live on Earth,

In different colors, race and religion,

Always some are born to hate.

Their opponents are those who pray love,

while the innocent die in peace again.

Are we all the same !?

All breathe the same air,

We have the same thoughts about life,

We all want the same thing

Health, work first as always.

Our globe is so great,

But thoughts of the people so small

They can not or do not want to see,

the injustices that make the difference.

Dreams breathe,

Along with tears, anguish and stress added,

Along with the touch of joy;

They leave a weight on our thoughts when we are awake.

They do share our being;

In a part of our time,

And a part of eternity;

As a change that overlie the dream.

in fading restless eye,

uploaded a unshed tears.

A change has choked the dream.

As the disease of the soul;

lost in the darkness of dust.

Angels, crouched for a long time

Beyond the wall of the world,

listen

talking tree

Praying for a dream,

this morning shining dawn for you

I LIVE WAITING FOR THE SUN

Each evening, the world loses the sun

Every evening, the world stops

and remains the memory of light.

Each morning light returns

and the world back on the engines,

starts life

waiting to lose the sun.

I also do every time you go,

I miss the sun

and I still have the memory of you.

But then 'day and light

every time I see you and talk to you.

That 'life:

the sun goes away,

sets and arises,

but alive waiting for the sun.

IN CREATION

Beyond the magical world of love

malformed in monstrous shapes

I crawl on doorsteps

without breaking the balance of life

where nothing substantial exists

just an etheric world,

where buds of imagination burst out.

Over the crumbed plateau of words,

judgements crush,

senses multiply.

As an open wound

in infirmity ceases the unemployment

in this feeble day,

vague as the visions.

I get up at the horizon’s darkness

and soak in the green of hope

the contours of the cloak of sadness,

converting the deep pain

into an absorbent symbiosis

of the raving logic.

in the light sleepy wind

that plays the magical symphony

in the eternal virginity of creation.
