HOPE
written by: Jasna Gugić
I would like to take
the paths of new hope
and erase my footprints behind me
because your escort is superfluous
before the rising sun.
I would like to walk
the land of solitude
for years
and walk on
the silence of the pathlessness
liberated
of all your words and deeds.
I would like to be born
again
bathed in purity
of my soul
and stand
in front of the starry sky
as a newborn.
And pardon
my rude words
and be patient
because my loneliness
is your loneliness, too.
You are my other self.
You do what I’m afraid of.
