Zdzisława Sośnicka - Cisza, beznamiętna cisza

Silence,
Passionless silence
As if dead inscriptions
In one of the cities
Where it has been long ago
That there was anyone
Who was able to read them
Silence,
The mute wind chases leaves
A pale janitor sweeps away memories
Love,
It is not for her that the wind cries
Whom now to lay to sleep, with whom to be afraid
When your heart
Like a wing of a big bird
Flutters and strains to fly away
So you take off into the starry night
To the stars
Into the world of your dreams
And higher, ever higher, there where
Silence,
A great stellar silence
Shouts the truth that Time
Has taken away everything

Life's all around
It enraptures and deceives you
That everything will remain as today
The noise of people, the simple taste of days
My voice
The magnet of your cares
But know that around us
Lurks silence,
Merciless silence
Can you
In silence
Go into it
