DEJAN GJOSHEVSKI

 

 

Awakening

 

Beneath the clouds, a vibrant arch does spin,

From afar, I hear a church bell's din.

Within myself, I feel a doubt arise,

Does the sky conceal a secret from my eyes?

In search of truth, I seek a reason why,

To wake up once more, to spread my wings and fly.

This daily flow, with echoes from the space,

Seems sweet, yet false, a deceptive embrace.

Does the Creator truly exist, I ponder,

A question that leads my thoughts to wander.

But perhaps, in the end, I'll never know,

The answer remains hidden, as I grow.

 

Diary

 

I dared to step upon a path unknown,

To climb a higher floor, to stand alone.

Perhaps to find a brother on the way,

I thought I was prepared for this new day.

Pretended not to know how rough it might,

Deceived myself that I could bear the fight.

I lied that love awaited me ahead,

Yet knew that storms would pour upon my head.

For a moment, hoped to meet you there,

Though you were hanging on another's care.

The road is new, yet I remain the same,

A traveler from the past, without a name.

I broke and left it swiftly, just as you

Departed from me, leaving me askew.

Sat down upon a grassy patch so green,

To write my final thoughts, my soul unseen.
