Without ground, there’ll be the sky Painting

ABOUT DREAMS In truth, the winged need no land: Without ground, there’ll be the sky, Without fog, there’ll be the clouds, Without land, there will be freedom. In this, perhaps, is their avian truth. And what about humans? They live on land and do not fly. Still, they have wings! They truly do Have wings – made, instead of quills and fluff, Of virtue, truth, and trust. Some have wings of faithful love, Some – of endless aspiration, Some – of empathy and action, Some – of zeal and pride in work, Some – of poetry and song, Of art, hope, dreams, and passion… They do not fly – or so it seems. But they have wings! They do have wings! Ліна Костенко / Lina Kostenko "wings"
