To those who think that Greece does not matter today, let me say that they could not make a bigger mistake. Today, like old Greece, is of the utmost importance for anyone looking to find himself.

Drawing

The silence of the snow

It creates a touch of color

Soft whisper

Where does it go? 

The path of life

To record.

 

Sometimes alone

Sometimes paired

Sometimes with select company

On narrow or wide streets

From time to time

And season after season.

 

In all kinds of places

Becomes a traveler

Explorer

And an observer.

 

Stairs going up 

Coming down

Steep and spiral

Which lead

In crypts

With murals

Question marks.

 

And on monumental scales

Cliffs

With a mysterious aura

Which captivate the eye

To feel

The depths of the dome

Globally

For the new journey

At the change of season:

From here or from there?

 

In a sip of wine

Seeking an oracle

Before he treats

In step and look 

Vital Elixir

Who kisses?

Vision and body

With a dip

In the depths of the dream.

 

And like a shadow

Get started

Bridges to cross 

In length and width

Rivers

Ring on Earth.

 

And then at a fast pace

And a lamppost for a guide

To stand on the edge of the hill

And to see

In the morning

And in the loss of the star

Bays, expanses and mountain peaks

Breasts on fire

Roofs and bell towers.

 

Until he gets caught

At the edge of the sky

And to slip away

Gate open

To another era

With a colored carpet.

 

In ancestral places

And fathers' graves

To leave and receive a wish

For a good, lucky road,

Before Gate again

Slip and go.

 

He longs for the sea.

Now

To see

With a thousand veils of the sea 

Magical society

Before like a shadow

He starts spinning again.

In the city's narrow streets.

 

And it holds

On the memory disk 

For last frame images

With bird dancers

that defy death and gravity.

 

And immediately afterwards

Quietly as it came

Colored brushstroke

In the snow

The silence

That's how it will be lost.
