6077 - The silence of Theodora

N. Lygeros
Translation: Paola Vagioni

Inside the glow
and the light of the night
nobody heard
your silence.
You knew it was not
proper to talk
and yet you had to
that was what society wanted.
But your humanity
had more strengths
and it did not allow
the speech inside the voice.
You wrapped yourself inside
the quiet mute silence
so that you wouldn’t hear
the dream dying.
