My dreams are flying

Balloons, spheres of vibrant hues,
Floating weightless, light as dewdrops.
They dance on the breeze,
Whimsical and free.
A fleeting moment of joy,
A burst of color against the sky.

Like dreams, they ascend towards the unknown,
Carrying hopes and wishes aloft.
A testament to the ephemeral nature of human life.
A reminder to cherish the present moment.

Yesterday Viennese people remembered the victims of the Holocaust and of Nazi crimes on Heldenplatz. The labor and extermination camp Auschwitz-Birkenau was liberated by the Red Army on 27 January 1945. People gathered to commemorate the 70th anniversary and to raise awareness.

“It happened, therefore it can happen again: this is the core of what we have to say.”
