Puisi: "To Heal" by Aris Balu

Let's take the boring path, put back the pieces one day at the time

Wake up before the sunlight greets your eyes, brush your teeth, for a fresh smile was never a crime

Let's open another page, read another sentence, slowly grasp what truly lies between the lines, or read the painted canvas if that's what you like

It's the little step, the simple spell of persistence is the antidote to life's complication

For the worst of malevolence could only be conquered by the best of man, the one who understands the importance of a competent mundanity

So, let's enjoy the morning cup and the cigar, or a single bite of sugar

Just like a wound would leave a scar, a smile is a story, a poetic irony worthy of reaching the stars
