Zygmunt Ryznar (translated by Edytta Wojnar)

LIFE LIKE A GRAND PIANO

 
Life like a grand piano
Black and white keys
And dreams tear like strings
Grand piano like life
Plays various melodies
Puffs and huffs
Or bangs in one’s ears
And soul with joy
Sometimes amazes
With never ending song…

 
When it keeps quiet
I know that lava inside it
Waits for a  sign 
And after that
The sudden shout 
Will also die
What remains is shell
And some ashes
OR hope of resurrection 

P.S. Press the hope key
when total stillness comes.
