SOFIA SKLEIDA

 


 

Lovely Contemplation

 

Orthodox times

Unorthodox challenges

Souls groan heavily in well-placed heartless bodies

The roles are well done

After all, they train in the vortex of everyday life

Their collars are collared

Where are you? I can’t see you

I address to you

To conceive the perfection of the cosmic optical illusion

Of the original passion that gave life to the dawn of the universe

Eternal unanswered questions

internal monologue expression

Since the potential interlocutor is still dance on the rope...

 

On The Soul

 

Your texture is indestructible, eternal

The timeless Father took care

To have pure intention

To purify our soul from earthly, meaningless and temporary pleasures

which make it a hermit passenger on an unmanned ship

without cruising compass

Trapped

with weird stories,

witnesses of delusion

and dark labyrinths of eternal intoxication

Our Godfather invites us to make a big deal,

repenting

To provide, praying

Have mercy, humiliated

To live in ethereal mystagog

and spiritual courtesy…
