Poetry & Images | The images that show the infinite sea from the foggy shore…there is a soft whisper of the sea everywhere, but the sea is invisible. The cry of the birds, howling of a wolf… the sound of a harp or lute, the sound of a lonely girl, slow steps of deer, the sound of pigeons’ wings, people who are wounded from the cruelties and are looking for freedom and flight.Singing pigeons and birds are captured in a cage of rusted and worn out words. A cage of ideas made of iron and humans who are tied up in their loneliness… they don’t see or understand each other. Only lovers unite but there is no liberty for them to fly…Some people resemble lifeless statues… people with no heads and hands. People who are broken sculptures; who are a monument of a marvelous era… People alongside birds, yet the hidden monster erupts from deep inside, frightening the people… and this time the sky turns red and the earth becomes a burning hell… Liberation exists... The wings of poetry must be opened... Silence must be broken by passionate music… The walls must fall down with colorful images...Images of people’s glorious love yet full of pain and suffering.  Rebellious love, fearless, condemned… captured birds in a cage… distressed angles from human’s pain… from the world of ghosts... from the mesmerized faces and masks… from the crucified people…. burning candles… near the vowing places… late signs of hope in people for the victory of light over darkness, water over dryness and prosperity over destruction .
