ENCOUNTER

A moment comes, when everything falls silent…

With a mild look, the silence crept into the blessed, yet sad, within the suspected… She stood in front of the wall behind which there was no one. With a sad face, turned slightly aside, she looked at him anguishly, trying not to contradict him and to instantly catch his every thought. Silently, she leaned her head on his, removing the photos of the wind caught in twister. Expecting a smile, according to their old arrangement, known only to two of them – she heard her voice in his. Something miraculously ember, yet serene, wrapped their souls, within the undreamt…

Like a messenger, someone’s soul came to warn them, break them within the unbreakable… She pulled from herself the time, daily light, dream, remaining unroped… She stood over him transformed into something strange, yet strong enough to recognize them within it, within the bodiless…

Departure is the victory over closeness – encounter – within the distanced, beloved…
