Pawel Markiewicz’s poem: Poetry From The Shepherd Boy


The Spartans were today

by vultures’ tone awakened

the august chasms

still nearby the autumn heart


light autumn wings

I am immortalizing them delicately

in the superbest vase

as well as in picture on the wall


in a temple of a wisdom

Athena’s in the isle

the muser evokes miracles

the helots dream very finely


the destines of perioikoi

are slumbering in an ancient grotto

unusual autumn-songs flying

they become the philosophic hoard


the atomists find thereby

the edenic afflatus

in hawk's eyes and in wings

of the philosophic discharge


the natural philosophers are waking

in the balmy homesickness

the autumn loves all sophists

it donates notebooks to Wise Men


a whiff of the eschatology

the sceptics and stoics

are going strutting arm in arm

to the moony fire


to the purest best gleam

an apotheosis – a worship

become a sweaty salvation of heart

from Plato full of the starry impact


in the distant cave there is

an idyllic rainbow

the freed caveman

is drunken from an ambrosia


the troglodytes adjusted

by little dew such a laurel freedom

they delight in a poem

in the shooting star that falls dawn


in the pond of the Becoming and Faith

the meteorites down here

orderly word of being

for Aristotle more beautiful


he is being as a rambler led

into the path of musing stars

Tyrtaeus’ lyre is musing about

the experiential eudemonia


the morning daydream is picturesque

Be awake and becharmed when

the deduction with induction

seem to be fraternised!
