When we dream of love, we usually expect only joy and happiness. We imagine that every encounter will feel like a gift, bringing wonder and delight. That is why we are often unprepared when love arrives hand in hand with pain—and sometimes with the bitterness of loss.

Nadia Granski’s poetry speaks precisely to this truth. It explores the full range of love and the pain that so often accompanies it; the depth of a woman’s soul, the strength of character and will, and the courage to listen to one’s inner voice and follow where it leads. These poems are filled with humor and self-irony, gratitude for friends and loved ones, faith in oneself and in good fortune, and, above all, faith in life itself—a gift whose value is beyond measure.

In the stillness of night, where the soft echoes flow,
And the nightingale sings with a voice faint and low,
While the dogs in the distance keep barking in streams,
Yet the world lies asleep in the hush of its dreams.

There’s a rustle of leaves, and the whispering tide,
As the waters move gently, they weave as they glide.
There is nobody, not a shadow to see—
Only you, only me, where the silence runs free.

How your shoulder feels warm, how your hand finds its place,
As the clouds above have a soft, tender grace.
Still the riverbanks stay, while the day drifts away—
Only us, only love, in the flow where we sway.
