Angeliki Zevgolati – Glas tišine (Mili Dueli 2023 – Grand Final)

GLAS TIŠINE

Jermenska molitva,
tamnocrvena.
Nezrela sjećanja
bila su vino u čaši.
A tamo na kraju rane
srce, očajnička potreba
ustvari moćna pjesma
rimovana iz duše.
– Oh, kakva sreća!

Translated to Bosnian by Nermin Delić

Η Φωνή της Σιωπής

Αρμένιζε η προσευχή,
μέσα σε κόκκινο βαθύ.
Ήταν κρασί μες στο γυαλί
οι άγουρες οι μνήμες.
Κι εκεί στο τέλος της πληγής,
καρδιά, απάγκιο απαντοχής,
ένα τραγούδι δυνατό
απ’ της ψυχής τις ρίμες.
-Ω, τι μεγάλη τύχη!-

My name is Angeliki Zevgolati. Iam a medical doctor, a psychologist and psychotherapist. I am a mother of two children. I live and work in Thessaloniki, Greece. My hobby is working as a volunteer for saving animals. Something unusual about me is that I dont have favourite things ( colours, food etc), because I love every single existing thing. Something interesting about me is the way I write, because I turn medical practice into poetry.

The main problem of peace in Greece is that we have lost our inner peace and balance. The quick pace of life doesnt help in this direction.A solution would be the right use of social media that all Greeks use in excess. I mean that through media we, the poets of all the world, have to spread poetry and love excessively. Show that we support each other. Show, throughout our words, the right rythm and direction of thinking. Sensitize population. Mili Dueli works on this direction and puts a lot of people in the logic of reading and spreading poetry, although they have never read poetry before. Thats the reason I participate and I thank you all very much. I will refer to international bibliography and inform all of us that poetry enforces the autobiographical memory and is good for the brain ( better comprehension, better problem solving, less anxiety, more inner peace) and further more for the society, as neurologists and neuropsychologists conclude (Liverpool, 2015)
