The Taste of Life
written by: Michael Balner
Oh, how fast they slip away;
hours, days and years,
the markers of impermanence
of our sorrows,
joy
and dreams.
Like a handful of dust in the wind,
sandcorns flying, one by one,
blending into the darkening air,
soon disappearing from my sight.
And here I stand and all that’s left,
a taste lingering in my mouth;
common, yet rare – pepper, sugar n’ salt
– the taste of love.
The taste of life.
Michael Balner is a privacy professional born in Czechia, he lives in Oslo, Norway. He started to write poetry only a year ago, during a period of a personal crisis. For him, writing is a means to get in touch with his deepest feelings and his inner parts. It has become a part of his therapy, healing of his childhood/youth complex traumas and a part of his search for his higher, pure self. He hopes that his readers can relate to his poems and hopefully feel a little less alone with their own troubles and battles.
