Silence Of Waiting ~ Tišina Čekanja Poem by Jankovic Zoran

Silence of waiting

If you are waiting for someone
who is promised to come
it means you realized
it was waiting unit just
to measure from loneliness.

Comfortably draped in a coat of silence
as on the hologram you ask
a figure which you cheerfully hope
because you believe in the human word.

More worth it, a hundred days of waiting,
than eternal, common life
with a person who is breathing
next to you and you have
nothing to tell her.

Tišina čekanja

Ako čekaš nekoga ko je
obećao da će doći
to znači da si shvatio
da je čekanje samo
jedinica za mjerenje samoće.

Udobno ogrnut u kaput tišine,
kao na hologramu,
ti tražišlik kome se nadaš
jer vjeruješ u ljudsku riječ.

Više vrijedi, stotinu dana čekanja,
nego vječiti, zajednički život
sa osobom koja diše pored tebe
a ti nemaš ništa da joj kažeš.
