From The Depth of Light
— POEM by
Barbara Gramza
(Translated from Polish)
Before the word was made, there was silence,
In it God whispered to my body,
Not through a miracle, but through a breath,
That trembles when the soul has matured.
I need no sounds,
He speaks between breath and sigh,
In the pulse of light, in the ashes of dreams,
Where understanding is born.
I do not kneel in supplication, but in gratitude,
That I can be a river of His grace,
A silence in the garden, a silent prayer,
A seed that bursts to resurrect in splendor.
In my poems burns the incense
of love that seeks no return,
I write with light on the shore of existence,
Guiding the word across the threshold of the Absolute.
