SOFIA SKLEIDA

UNIVERSAL ENERGY

Your nature is surprising,

your story becomes a legend

Your beauty inspires

the best poets

Your purity transmits the maternity

Continue to illuminate our paths

Respect the choices of life

To satisfy our hopes,

our unfulfilled dreams

You will be ... in the air we breathe

Watering with tears

the thirsty pores of mother Earth

giving your sincere smile

accompanying the difficult moments

of our short journey ...

TABULA RASA

White paper my path,

my anxieties,

my feelings

White shadow as a stigma, like a circular

course of a continuous and perpetual motion

Dreamily, like the clouds in the clear sky,

The infantile thoughts

Virgin such as the maternal love

We fulfill ourselves the purpose of our lives

Taking care to fill up creatively

the pages of our time,

the yellow parchment

Even if some remain half-empty

and misguided

It's ours ...

Poem awarded at the UNIVERSUM International Poetry Competition, May 2016, Lugano, Switzerland.

PAX

Flying the pigeon

Miracle of Peace

Again the moon is awake

Preparing the party

Joy of the day…

Collection of poems  ,Dreams of Oasis (Amphictyon of Hellenism, Department of  Literature, Thessaloniki, 2014 . The collection was also published in Italy under the title  OasideiSogni, Il mondodelloscrittore, 2017)
