Written in Anger
It
is no longer a wind, blowing the memories of the past
much
rather heavy rain, pouring down on us,
and
everything streams together as a non stoppable flood.
What
if I am tired?
What
if I do not want to remember?
What
if memories are all left of us?
I
do not want to hurt any more,
I
do not want to bleed,
I
do not want to die nor mourn no more.
The
winter chill is way too real,
so
I do not want to raise my fists no more;
what
if all I want is a pair of warm hands in my pockets?
The
past is history
and
my pounding head just refuses the pain of remembrance.
What
if I close my eyes right this second,
forget
history
and
just feel the chill from this winter only?
The
one freezing my fingers, I mean...
It
hurts, you bleed, we die and you mourn;
but
this is not yesterday any more.
The
sun has long risen upon a new day,
and
all which can bring our freezing hands out of warm pockets
is
to block whatever is coming at us today...

So glad you are still there, still write. Thank you for this much needed hope.
I am glad to be here as well. Some changes in life and the novel take a lot of my time these days.
But how is Athens doing in these first days of spring? I hope the magical scent of Seville orange blossoms is not mixed with more anger, violence and despair than Greece has already experienced the past year...
