Fortunate

Fortunate

While I describe
my daily life
in simple words –
routine, regular, ordinary,
even boring at times,
two lost drunkards
pass by my house
peeking inside with curiosity,
possibly some envy.
I return their gazes
and smile kindly
to thank them
for prompting me
to add yet another simple word –
blessed.

My name is Martyna Sarnowska. I was born in 1985 in Gdynia, Poland. For six years I studied History of Art and Arts in Education in France, England and USA. However, only during the last year of university I realized my deep passion for literature, poetry and writing. At the age of twenty five, I got to understand that reading and writing are for me the closest and dearest forms of art and expression. Since that moment my daily life has been occupied with books, poetry and writing – poems, essays, journals… Recently, I have begun running a book club which enables me to discuss literature with others. Now, in a natural way came the time for this blog – space, where I can share my writing and my thoughts on literature; where I can open up to the world.
