Village Museum (Muzeul Satului): Wood, Windows, Stairs and Time (I)

The Village Museum

The Village Museum in Bucharest ( my favorite place ) -

is one of the most original and fascinating open air museums

and contains an unique collection of original peasant homes (they are preserved just as they were 1-2 centuries ago) drawn from around Romania.

Here you can see some details of carved wood!

Usualy I spend 4-5 hour each every two weeks. Is like a timeless journey through

history.

The Words - In Memoriam

The words, with spirals of…
…light and shade
From childlike empires
And spears thrown by
Newborn hands
Of unthought-of notions,
These words with shadows
Of nobody’s hate,
Yet hating the weakened,
They died at dawn.

The sighs of the dying,
The screams of the newborn -
As one become notions
And words of the poets…
We bow our heads
And entwine our hands
As one shade of these words
Did die at dawn…

Those words, as reborn before their birth,
Those lighted and darkened,
They bowed as the memory
Was blended with matter…

Colorblind minds.
If words had nuances,
Their colors that painted the nature
And flesh and emotions,
They flickered
At dawn as they dimmed.
