3750 - Artistic silence

N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Angeliki Papadopoulou

While I was drawing
and struggling with the colors,
the shadows and the curves,
you were listening to my silence.
My whole thought
was one hand
which searched for the truth
of one Master of Renaissance.
So again you listened to the battle
of need against the luck
and you learned about the struggle
of Humanity.
Now you know what you should
not forget
when we will go too:
the artistic silence.
