Catch a Cold Souls

Souls are chilled,
in them — the pain of the age:
viruses and wars.

We must know: a cold can be cured —
the prescription is written by writers and poets,
turning the pages
of tender silence,
romantic melancholy,
languid loneliness.
A text is a second pseudonym,
the equivalent of breathing.

Even though pain leaves its traces in the heart:
Don't run from pain,
live through it.
You are not unbearably stuffy. Breathe.

Admit that today
the pain in your chest,
the one that clenches your heart —
is an important step.
The first medicine —
acceptance,
and then,
breathing again,
though with an amber aftertaste of fear.

The second — living through it,
not silencing it,
but embracing it.
Every wound
will surely heal.
Yes, it will leave scars on the heart, but it will heal.

A writing person is the link
between truth and freedom of speech.
A writer or poet is a bridge
between time and the people.
In the architecture of words lie not only truth and power,
but also healing.
The writer helps not only others,
but also themselves:
You are you,
and this is the beginning
of your healing.
