Zoléna's Poetry

 

​

Welcome!

​​

​

​

 

You are here because you picked a secret envelope

from my market stall.

This page cannot be reached through my website.

It only exists through the link you received. 

​

Like our own little secret corner of the Internet!

 

This exists because it's me saying 'thank you' one more time.

For being curious.

For seeing what I do as something important enough

to engage with.

Because that means you saw what arose within yourself

something important enough to engage with.

 

Ergo, you acknowledged your own curiosity.

​

And if there is a hill I would gladly

- ok, maybe not gladly, but for sure truthfully - die on,

it would be on my conviction that keeping our curiosity

alive and well is imperative for a society not to spiral into

a nihilistic nightmare devoid of soul.

 

In my world, the soul is something

most children are in tune with--

that playful wonder where imagination runs wild

and reality is a playground where limitations

are mere puzzles to be played with,

rather than being held back by.

 

But as it so often happens,

we face the world and we are challenged.

Someone tells us to shut up. And perhaps it scares us.

Perhaps it makes us shrink ourselves.

 

So we stop talking.

Stop singing.

Stop dancing.

Stop painting.

Stop playing.

 

But you are here.

And it means that your inner child is here too.

And that brings me tears of joy.

Because you choose your soul

when you said yes to this envelope.

 

So, I hope you keep singing.

I hope you keep dancing.

I hope you keep following your curious,

playful voice in this life.

 

I love you.
