REMZA LAGARIJA

MAKE THE MIRACLE, O  GOD

Curiosity takes me to the secret chambers

full of cold, icy hearts, souls that are lost.

The fear is as strong as the Universe,

And I'm reaching out to the heat of your distant hands.

I feel the power of God's forgiveness

and whisper prayers of old and new wishes.

And if the Sun does giving us uncountable hugs,

I know

Mountains of ice from our soul

Your, God's presence can remove.

You, God, scents of love can sow

I'm waiting with the basket of my soul.

Embed peace in the world that You, God, made.

Delete the suffering of children, women and the innocent,

Make miracles and subdue combat.

Teach us the language of love.

I hope the whole Cosmos will speak it.

YOUR PRESENCE

My heart is full of you

In the winds of whispered rumors.

My face gets cold,

But I wear a smile.

Open the universe for me

Which floats through your soul.

Give me a smile

To go through the pain.

Hug me with your heart

While I think of you.

Pass to me the light

To see all my mistakes,

To forgive myself

And keep going forward

Whatever it takes.

In this darkness

I try to spread my wings.

My soul flashes

Whenever I hear your name.

 

MY HOPE FIGHTS

When the water of life

tirelessly breaks the dam of pain,

the Sun is mercy

and banishes waves of anxiety.

The winds soften

and quiet the strings of my soul,

and all my sighs fly into your hugs.

When the fire of love

flares up my circle of eternal longings,

stars come together

and unify their lights,

illuminate all my paths.

Rains become gentle

and wash all my and your sorrow,

and the train of hope

on the platform of life

waits to board two of us.

When my desire for life

strengthens the roots in my hope,

the Moon falls in love

and begins to whisper my mantra.

In the lap of silence

hope starts to build its nest,

and through the water,

and through the wind,

and through the Sun,

and through the stars,

and through the Moon,

and through the land,

my hope fights its battle.
