“OPOMENA

Čuj, reći ću ti svoju tajnu:
ne ostavljaj me nikad samu
kad neko svira.
Mogu mi se učiniti
duboke i meke
oči neke
sasvim obične.
Može mi se učiniti
da tonem u zvuke,
pa ću ruke
svakom pružiti.
Može mi se učiniti
lepo i slatko
voleti kratko
za jedan dan.
Ili mogu kom reći u tome
času čudesno sjajnu,
predragu mi tajnu
koliko te volim.
O, ne ostavljaj me nikad samu
kad neko svira.
Učiniće mi se: negde u šumi
ponovo sve moje suze teku
kroz samonikle neke česme.
Učiniće mi se: crn leptir jedan
po teškoj vodi krilom šara
što nekad neko reći mi ne sme.
Učiniće mi se: negde kroz tamu
neko peva i gorkim cvetom
krvavog srca u ranu dira.
O, ne ostavljaj me nikad samu,
nikad samu,
kad neko svira.”

“I asked the Zebra,
are you black with white stripes?
Or white with black stripes?
And the zebra asked me,
Are you good with bad habits?
Or are you bad with good habits?
Are you noisy with quiet times?
Or are you quiet with noisy times?
Are you happy with some sad days?
Or are you sad with some happy days?
Are you neat with some sloppy ways?
Or are you sloppy with some neat ways?
And on and on and on and on and on and on he went.
I’ll never ask a zebra about stripes...again.”
― Shel Silverstein

“Lack of direction, not lack of time, is the problem. We all have twenty-four hour days.”
