Alexis Karpouzos – Quotes

And one day,
the sun stopped,
the rain stopped falling,
the flowers didn't look high,
the sky emptied of stars,
then a tear dripped from the heart
and became our breath.
We need a sacred tear,
before the fall.

Little by little,
we will turn into stars,
little by little,
we will turn into the infinite universe,
little by little,
we will spin in eternal ecstasy,
hand in hand,
pure love that flows.

If desires fly by like shadows,
If vows are empty words,
Is it worth it to live in this fog of delusion?
Is it worth it to live if the truth is dead?
is it worth when life’s summer grows to winter?
Then it is to know what love is,
waiting on a foreign shore.

Crossing the far away sky of soul
In the pilgrimage of light
on the fine coast of extinction,
we will meet
There, in whose space
creation first became existence
we will turn this monotonic world
into a celestial melody of sounds
In the emptiness spinning
without aims or needs

Day is the shadow of night
life is the shadow of death
days and nights pass
and ages bloom and fade like flowers.
I don't want to be sheltered from dangers
but to be fearless in facing them.
No I don't want to beg for the stilling of my pain
but for the heart to conquer it.

Beyond the heaven there is the country of heart,
here dwell the deepest secret nobody knows,
here the bud see the bud, the mind
can't hide its darkness and the shadow
of the soul is illuminated,
and this is the miracle that's keeping
the stars in harmony orbit.

He says: "I'm lost.
I'm alone. I'm so alone".
And a Voice whispered:
There are dreams you haven't dreamt
and loves you haven't loved
and light you haven't felt
and sunrises yet to dawn.
The wonders that you
carry into your heart
Will guide you farther
than you can imagine.
