Tuesday, October 25, 2022: Marieta Maglas' "The Echo"

She has been in the burning frost of the highest peak

to unlock the deepest secret and to release the bittersweet

sorrow. In her upward fall, she told the downright evilness,

'I want nothing more and never again. ' She hung those words

 

in that eloquent quietness and the quietness oscillated in

the air. She found its own sense and the opposite. The words

and the memory blackouts were like the stars and the holes. In

a spiritual freezer burning, she reached the insomniac

 

dreams of her destiny and the deceptiveness of her distorted

fate. A new time made them grow into dormant feelings and

vice versa much more than certain old lyrics could turn into

pure music sounds to be lyric songs again. Her silent scream

 

slipped into a cosmic echo through the gate of that magic

realism. Became deafening stillness forever. Fairly obviously,

the down climbing evilness replied, 'I want nothing

more and never again, nothing more and never again.'
