FREE BIRD - ALEXIS KARPOUZOS

Man is a shadow of a dream,

free bird of nothingness

A dance of the stars, a celestial design.

Embracing winds that never die.

Life's secret, a spark in the eye of a child,

In the bloom of a flower, in the flight of a dove

In the quiet spaces between breaths,

Where the universe whispers its truth,

Between heartbeats and stardust,

In the fragile balance of joy and sorrow.

a flame to pass from one soul to another,

A legacy etched in moments of grace.

Through the whisper of winds, in the river's flow.
