REMÉNYIK SÁNDOR
A haunting chorus rises from the wilderness, where the poet listens to the relentless hum of the forest and lets its pulse shape verses of solitude and reverence. The opening sections blend raw natural sounds—buzzing insects, breaking stones, wind among the pines—with a solemn, almost liturgical rhythm that feels both intimate and timeless. The speaker treats the wild as a sanctuary, a small temple that reaches toward the heavens and offers a fragile refuge from the turmoil of the larger world.
Throughout the collection, vivid images of pine‑topped hills, red‑stained firs, and mist‑cloaked valleys evoke a landscape that is simultaneously beautiful and foreboding. Dreams drift like thin veils through the trees, some sweet, some unsettling, while the poet’s inner “room” becomes a modest shrine where the forest’s song never ceases. Listeners are invited to linger in this lyrical wilderness, feeling the quiet awe of a world where every rustle may be a prayer and every echo a reminder of the delicate balance between life and death.
