rzeczy dobre - poems by Jacek Berbeka

This poetry collection grew out of a need of the heart, out of feelings that do not shout, yet are there.
Out of the good things that quietly take shape through patience, care and love…

These poems do not seek answers. They are an attempt to come closer. To stop and think before something is lost for good. To name what is fragile and so often overlooked.

The second part of the collection moves through time — time that flows, passes, and returns in dreams and memory.
Towards what exists beyond time, in its mystery, where yesterday, today and tomorrow sit side by side.
Where questions remain unanswered and silence can be the only form of understanding.
I wrote four poems from this section for Kraków Poetry Night 2025. They were first performed on 11 October 2025 at the Literary Salon of the Polish Writers’ Association in Kraków.

This is an unusual book. The poems have their own musical interpretations and breathe with music — short links to them appear beneath the texts.

I dedicate the poetry collection rzeczy dobre to women — without whom the world would make no sense.
They carry goodness, even when no one notices it. That is why the book closes not with a poem, but with the text Kobiety — personal and necessary.

If something stirs in you while you are reading — let it remain.
If only silence remains — let that be enough.

Because good things arrive quietly…
