*** JER TI JESI…***
Ako te uporedim sa svjetlošću dana, možda se nikada noć ne bi spustila u našu mirnu luku – ostali bismo vječno budni…
Umorili bismo se od žagora ljudi, nemilih doživljaja… Izgubili bismo energiju za ono najljepše u nama – sjaj u očima, radost u srcu i snagu za bolje sutra.
Navukle bi se koprene, mrene, i ne bismo prepoznali ispružene ruke, smjele korake i osmijehe što trepere na rubovima usana…
Ako bih te uporedila sa ehom ili talasom, možda bi se sjene poigrale s nama, a mi bismo, lepršavi, zaspali u hladu života i izgubili iskru koja nas drži budnima, koja nas hrabri da ne odustanemo od sljedećeg koraka.
Svijet zbog nas nije postao, ali ga ipak možemo učiniti ljepšim, mekšim… ljubaznijim i opravdati ovo naše bitisanje u ograničenom vremenu.
Možemo dijeliti darove koji se pamte u srcu i ostaviti trag za one koji će doći, za one koji su već tu s nama – samo je potrebno da ih vidimo i prihvatimo…
Potrebno je da ih osjetimo najnježnijim čulima svoga bića.
Ako te uporedim sa životom, što i jesi, značilo bi da smo besmrtni.
I da oduvijek postojiš i da ćeš uvijek postojati, neograničena vremenom.
Samo ćeš povremeno ogrtati plašt, skidati ga sa sebe i poklanjati majci zemlji, a novostečenim iskustvom okititi se kao najljepšim cvijećem iz rajske bašte.
I neću da te poredim, jer ti jesi…
Moja, jedna, jedina, neponovljiva…
Vječna… koja poznaješ razloge i strme puteve koji se ukrštaju u vremenu i prostoru, za nas i zbog nas.
Iako si kao zrno pšenice, ipak si dovoljno velika i plodonosna.
Vrijedna ljubavi, poštovanja i smisla postojanja.

FOR YOU SIMPLY ARE…
If I were to compare you to the light of day, perhaps night would never descend upon our peaceful harbour – we would remain awake forever…
We would grow weary of the clamour of people, of painful experiences… We would lose the energy for all that is most beautiful within us – the sparkle in our eyes, the joy in our hearts, and the strength to face a better tomorrow.
Veils of mist would cloud our vision, and we would fail to recognise outstretched hands, courageous steps, and smiles trembling at the corners of lips…
If I were to compare you to an echo or a wave, perhaps the shadows would play with us, and we, light as feathers, would fall asleep in the shade of life, losing the spark that keeps us awake, that gives us courage not to abandon the next step.
The world did not come into being because of us, yet we can still make it more beautiful, gentler… kinder, and give meaning to our existence within the limits of time.
We can share gifts that remain treasured in the heart and leave a trace for those who are yet to come, for those who are already here beside us – we need only to see and embrace them…
We need to feel their presence through the most delicate senses of our being.
If I were to compare you to life itself, which you are, it would mean that we are immortal.
That you have always existed and will always exist, unbound by time.
From time to time, you will simply wrap yourself in a cloak, take it off and offer it to Mother Earth, adorning yourself with each new experience as though with the loveliest flowers from the Garden of Paradise.
And I shall not compare you to anything, for you simply are…
Mine, my one and only, irreplaceable…
Eternal… you who know the reasons and the steep paths that cross through time and space, for us and because of us.
Though you are like a grain of wheat, you are still vast enough to bear fruit.
Worthy of love, respect, and the meaning of existence.
