Title: On the Thin Line of Dreams

Somewhere on the border between reality and illusion,

I once hid childhood dreams,

which I wrote down on the pages of poetry

to immortalize them, because everything changes.

Because life slips between day and night,

and I still walk an orphan path.

I once longed to feel the wind in my hair,

to travel trails yet unexplored.

To be like nightingales with angelic voices,

to wake sleepy Zakopane in spring.

And on the ropes of the silver moon,

to hang words that thoughts fuel.

Perhaps one day I will fulfill old plans,

or see a rainbow again in the middle of winter.

Whatever it may be, I will bless the fate offered,

for it is a gift we give birth to.

And although I am no longer a little girl,

I cherish the thin line of life.
