Poems by Alex Domokos
THE PRICE OF FREEDOM
A sparrow lost in winter's night
Is tempted by our window's light.
She flutters at the windowpane
Her struggles futile, so in vain.
I open now the window wide
Inviting her to come inside.
Her instinct fears captivity
And she declines security.
Next morning 'neath the window frame
She lies there frozen, free from pain.
She never knew a compromise,
And freedom asks a sacrifice.
RESURRECTION
Sour is the smell of autumn
As it lingers in the air,
Reminding me that fall is here
And I won't live forever.
It is ripening time around me,
Sadness, beauty mixed in one.
All the gaiety of spring and summer
Have long been gone.
Memories like crystal needles
Penetrate my aging heart,
Urging me to remniscence
By the fire of the hearth.
Through the dancing flames of fire
I relive my early life.
Not yet dead, but deadly tired
From incessant earthly strife.
In the warmth of cooling fire
Is the answer, and the test;
As the fire cools to ashes
I will also come to rest.
But - as the kernel in the soil
Dies to bring about new birth,
Ressurrection is the meaning
Re-emerging from the earth.
Life recycled, life renewed,
As the freshly growing grain
Trumpets forth the victory -
Life never perishes in vain.
