AKIANE KRAMARIK
Silence
Age 9 | Acrylic on Canvas
There is probably no such place as I painted here, but I wanted to show a scene that I’d envisioned in my mind for a long time. It’s more expressionistic than realistic, and that’s the way I wanted it to be left – a place where empty silence could also be mistaken, a place where through the sounds of nature you could hear a living silence.
SILENCE
With each silent mask,
with each silent way
silence can also be mistaken.
Sometimes dreams fall
like raindrops
from the very eye of the storm…
Holding onto the antlers of the spring,
Like onto the spasms of the future,
I blow wild feathers in the wind.
With each silent mask,
with each silent way
silence can also be mistaken.
