Abyss of Oblivion

Abyss of Oblivion
Vivian Alsaegh/ Syrian Artist
  • Sunday 14 June 2020


They still look
for the treasures of the past
to
touch
understand
the enormity of the human
thought and work.

In the dark kingdom
for a return towards the light
await
the silently slain acts.

To extract from the abyss of oblivion,
to give a new life
to restore the memory.

Among the Saharan sands,
a long-lost civilization
does not allow itself to be
forgotten.

The world
needs testimonies
to draw near
the hidden secrets.

 

Translated into English by Artur Komoter
