It Is So Simple

I feel the light inside and out

Sun is a close keen

The world glows, and so I glow

The world is growing

And I grow glowing

Thinking so is so simple

Not to think, but glisten

Not to analyze, but feel

The light inside and out

And grow by glowing

~ Dejan Stojanovic

Old and New

 

If an ancient man saw planes two thousand years ago

He would’ve thought they were birds

Or angels from another world

Or messengers from other planets.

Every new machine would have surprised him—

The car, TV, radio, phone, camera.

He would’ve thought he was a savage

Who didn’t understand.

If he saw a computer,

Watching people talking on the internet,

He would have thought it was a civilization

Much more advanced and ahead of his.

And if he stayed longer among the messengers

He would have learned that every child had the knowledge

And understanding of these things

Or how to use all of them.

Yet, after a while, he would have noticed

That none of them were advanced enough

To be labeled as those who know more

Than the one who said: I know nothing.

~ Dejan Stojanovic

All Women in One

You shall not stop or hesitate and sway

Until you pass through the forest,

Until you compare the beauty of the summer’s day and night—

Until you arrive in your own Ithaca.

There is always Venus;

New Elissa to build new Carthage,

The new Kingdom of Light.

You shall not stop until you find Venus:

One woman in all,

All the women in One.

Until you can say—La Dolce Vita

Until you find Paradise Lost in only one name

Until you are able to say—

You are all women in one.
