Sandra Fabac – Poems

LIFE RESET
(Return)
I am writing
these verses
and I do not know to whom
maybe to you
maybe to all who are still searching
who are still feeling
who are still dreaming
and breathing through the shadows of the world
In the world
of playful and tired minds
at the station full of faces
with suitcases full of nothing
you are standing
and waiting
for too long
until the heart trembles
until the breath quivers
until the light flickers
That is why I ask you
let us change the world
we can multiply love
without measure
without limits
without fear
without quiet giving up
Let us jump
from the wrong track
into the space of the scent of ripe apples
into green meadows
blooming branches
into the silence
where goodness still breathes
where every step becomes a song
where hands can stop the locks of chaos
where the eyes can see again
where the heart sings again
Take it
multiply it
with hands that mend souls
along the paths of white clouds
Give it
to those who suffer
to those who are silent
to those who have forgotten how to love
and to those who think it is too late
because it is never too late for love
I have two lives
one I walk
while the other waits for me
on the shore of that other
Orpheus is waiting
with lyres of silence
to teach me
how love returns
from the darkness
from the silence
from the end
It is too much for me
that is why I give you one
take it
let it be a beginning
let it be a home
In it there are no tears
no woman cries
no step injures the earth
flower gardens smell
birds sing
golden fish listen to the greens
Allow me
to take your pain
to carry it
to turn it
into a word
into a verse
into a flower
into a river
into a star
into the air that trembles between us
Allow me
to hold you
when you stumble
so you do not fall
in these fast changes
Because we artists
have no right to stop or die
until we make the chaos bloom
until wounds speak with light
until the world becomes possible
until every breath sings the song of life
Let us bring back passion
let us bring back children
let us bring back stars to the eyes
let us pull from the darkness
that world
that still remembers love
A world without scars
with sources of clear water
and the voices of birds
that do not stop
Open your hearts
Come
Let us weave our souls
and share the light
Listen
Take this life
that I give you
do not be afraid anymore
let the darkness stay behind you
let the light grow before you
Walk
even when you do not know where
Love
even when you have nothing
Because within you already grows
what you are searching for
A world without wounds
A world without tears
I see it
I believe in you
That is why live
Now
Here
And forever
Let us turn this gift
into a golden sea
into waves of light
into a song that resonates
for all who come
for the future of our children
SEED IN THE ASHES
(Return)
We search we break ourselves
that irresistible urge turns into pain and suffering
we play with the rules of life
we crumple morality and throw it away
and from it we make sharp shards
changes are too fast
time is slipping away
we must protect the children
unite our hands our hearts
and make the withered branches bloom
we must prepare the children for the world to come
light their path like lighthouses
so they are not afraid to live
Sister are you tired
I would cry now
the mercy of this moment tears me apart
my chest tightens
every suffering grinds me
yet a quiet harmony lifts me again
we are connected
I feel it in hearts in prayers
but we must hurry
we cannot deceive nature
nor turn back the days
Sister are you tired
I sit on a worn-out chair
by the window of time
birds bring me grains of enlightenment
and place them in my hands
so I can share them with you
to shape what we live
to touch even the abyss
only to save the child within humanity
to bury the wars
and learn to seek forgiveness
bare people without shame
hide in shells under helmets
and destroy their own seeds
for them I write
for them I breathe
for them love fights
rooted in the tree of life
for the children
because life must not die
it must live
a scent pulls me
toward a bowl of fresh fruit
I reach for the fig from my garden
but decay burns me
another cycle
another warning
Sister are you tired
the circle closes
time is running out
let us wash away luxury
cleanse our hands in truth
embrace humanity
let us be holiness
that loves everything that breathes
with one heart
