	AdlandPro Artist Colony (AAC) Editor's Note Dear friends, It is with a big pleasure to introduce you my dear friend and former countryman, IBRAHIM HONJO . We both use English as a second language, and I hope you won't being bothered when we fail to make a good translation. Pablo Picasso stated that "Art is the lie that enables us to realize the truth." I feel free to apply more or less useless analogy to the language. It enables us as to express ourselves, as to share understanding and misunderstanding :). Ibrahim Honjo is an amazing person, and very fruitful artist, whose maturity promotes an approach to the world from the angle of man born on turbulent soil. Here, I'd bring some of his poems, as well as a few of his paintings and sculptures. Feel free to share your impressions and to ask if you feel the need to ask something. Thank you for your time to make the visit. Love the arts - arts makes life more human and creative! Sincerely yours, Branka Babic

	(Old Bridge (City of Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina) 36"x24") Oil on canvas, © Ibrahim Honjo) THIS IS THE MOMENT (Dedicated to Tatjana M.) This is the moment when all could have occurred The sea could have glistened in your eyes You could have demolished golden rocks with your look Or become a lady of the coastal land Or a lady of the open sea This is the moment when even non-existent things collapse This is the moment when on X axis Rays of love are emitted When flaming passions are being restrained and silenced When it is possible to fly and fall This is the moment when we all remain executioners This is the moment when even non-existent things collapse This moment has been stopped for a reason The moment when all could have occurred All remained only passing by Because this is the moment when even non-existent things collapse Ibrahim Honjo

	Noah's Ark 1, Metal sculpture, 16"x9" © Ibrahim Honjo THE STONE They never asked me For my name They wanted my identity card Or its number I did not have one I said Stone They laughed Asked me where I came from From the stone - I said They asked for my age Twenty pebbles – I answered And showed them gray spotted pebbles They are an openess of their hearts to me I am a tighteness of the doorway on the invisible wall Which divides us And I am going away Ibrahim Honjo

	(Winter day on the Trout Lake, © Ibrahim Honjo) THE NARO I come from the river Naro The tribe of Narensii We have been here longer Than even science is aware I will never return to the river Naro My beloved is from the Grand River In the river Naro Barefoot girls do not wash clothes Beardless boys do not row in canoes My Naro has been intersected I will never return to the river Naro Her name has been changed From the river Naro cold fogs are misting Both she and I were tricked The waters of the river Naro are flowing through my veins Her amazingly green waters My Naro has been intersected Never mind – her waters I hope They are never made turbid I am from the river Naro And she is a part of me I will never return Because my beloved is from the Grand River She and I have been there from time immemorial Ibrahim Honjo (Sunset on the Trout Lake, © Ibrahim Honjo)
