I closed my eyes today enjoying the soft shadows the light played on my eyelids.
Red figures, soft figures...
like a dancer perfoming a lullaby with perfect and gracious moves.
My mind.
For the first time in a long time, a white blur...
one of those precious moments that never last: absolute tranquility.
I started to fell asleep and when I was slowly fading into dreams,
I heard your voice gently becoming one with my conscience.
Sometimes I dream with your voice.
But then, when I thought there were no more moves to make
or thoughts to think, it came to my mind as clear as it has
never been before.
Anna, -I said to myself -you tend to reach out for perfection,
and you never notice it.
You sometimes try too hard, you exasperate yourself.
Breathe!,-I said -breathe Anna!
Leap and trust, and stop thinking,
Aiming for perfection is the greatest silent weapon you possess.
Disarm yourself.

lovely reflections and meditations in your work,
enjoyed the imagery here.
Happy Rally.
Evrytime you go deeper and deeper, i wonder how far would you go?... Perfection?
Amazing job Anieeeee! :)
This is so beautifully evocative. Your images are wonderful. There are so many truths to be pondered here. For some of us it's a long struggle to lay down those weapons.

Closed eyes and open mind is a good recipe for perfection.
Open eyes, ears and a writting pen/ keyboard is another option.
Very well said dear.
beautiful thought provoking poetry! once in a while, the blur does come for me too..

Gorgeous words!
I particularly like the line "Sometimes I dream in your voice" I may borrow that idea some day- it sounds like a book idea to me. Thanks for the inspiration!

Beautiful imagery. I CAN see what you describe and I love "Disarm yourself," as its a simple, yet powerful directive.
