Where are you?

Karolina Marszałkowska 1993 (Gdańsk)



Where are you?
In your own home you hold dear?
Without anything to fear
With few people you love near
With your mind bright and clear?

Where are you?
Maybe in your own palace?
Rulling every each of us?
Waiting for some wine in glass?
Getting dumber while years pass?

Where are you?
On the somewhat magic glade?
Where you're resting in a shade?
Place which only nature made?
That takes time to slowly fade?

So where?
Maybe in heaven surprisingly low
In place which many souls can draw
Where there is no pain you'd want to howl
Where there is one person before which you bow?

Or maybe, but only maybe...
You are here with me
In a paradise not many see
In a place I can really feel
Where what makes me write is my own will

Just here...
