Drifting through the border of ideas
In search of a hook
To help me catch Apatheia.
Hunters and prey are in a distance
But persistent shadows are getting near.
Oppression is a condition that offers me happiness
It's better to be a victim now,but feel free later
Go on,drag me to the edge of Culmination
One step,two steps,three steps towards Evaporation
Towards Apatheia.....

- Comment from author about the poem: I wrote this poem in response to this painting. Apatheia (Greek: ἀπάθεια; from a- "without" and pathos "suffering" or "passion") in Stoic philosophy refers to a state of mind where one is not disturbed by the passions.

Thanks LYSI for sharing a very elegant poem in (structure & substance) on a paradoxical subject. Persecution and oppression bring relief through the freedom that follows. Just as the glory (and the medals) the Olympic Athlete receives negate the pain and sacrifice of training. Per ardua ad astra. Love the painting and the poem. Yours BRIAN
