The hidden, obvious truths...

My curse…

As always, he was sitting at the back of the tavern, by the open fireplace. I noticed his white robes and grey hair the moment I got in. He always

It’s been a tough year

It’s been a tough year. A really tough year. It feels as if they are getting tougher as the time goes by. I wonder if that’s true. Years are passing

On my knees…

I may be on my knees, but I’m far from defeated. I may appear beaten and broken, but I’m only saving my strength and as always, looks are deceiving. I

Mind collapsed…

For the longest time all I heard were voices. I barely spoke english, but I understood hate and I did not need a translator to feel how much of it

Everything backwards…

For a happy person, I can be pretty sad sometimes. For someone who constantly cheers people up, I can fall in a very deep abyss of sorrow. For a person

The sea of silence

For decades now I’m a caring, soft-spoken person; always thinking about others and their feeling, always weighing my words and actions not to hurt anyone. Thousands of words that maybe

My own reality….

You once asked me if I still remember her. I said I don’t, and I noticed you were happy about it, happy that I moved on with my life. Well,

Life at 3am

The Moon was high above my head, full and as bright as it can be. I was standing in the middle of the meadow, grass reaching all the way up

Pieces missing…

There is no point in lying or pretending; no use in running away from it or hiding it. It is the underlying truth behind everything that humanity has ever done.

Love and travelling…

I missed her the second she walked away. There I was, waiting for my flight at the airport, knowing that she takes off in the next few minutes on another

To the very last man…

He barely held his horse steady. The air was stained with sweat, blood and fear and the animal could feel it just as strongly as he did. His eyes scanned

Most of the days I’m fearless.

I go through life with a smile on my face and a mountain of faith. I know everything will be all right and all the things I don’t understand –

He sat there and wondered…

The setting sun lazily cast its last rays over a small, deserted alley in a small, deserted town. Soft summer breeze gently stroked the rusted street lamps and startled the

Free, but connected…

It was a beautiful sunset. I was jogging, but for some reason my mind and my body weren’t working together this time. My legs felt as if they were made

Love is not enough

It is strange for a dreamer to have that thought, but even dreamer’s feet have to touch the earth sometimes. Love is not enough. It might be a central pillar

What is it about sunsets…

I’m sitting on the meadow, on top of the small, green hill. I was setting-up my tent, but the sudden silence in the air made me stop and sit on

The night of the dying Moon (Part I)

The Sun was setting behind the rocky mountain summit, painting everything its rays touched into a glimmering shine of the day’s goodbye. Everything slowed down; even the clouds froze, respecting

The Weepers (Part II)

2. Night was particularly cruel to me. I was given a nice room, much nicer than I thought they might have here, but it was deadly isolated and quiet. I

The Weepers (part I)

They appeared out of nowhere, and brought nothing but pain with them. From the moment they were discovered, deep within the Sahara desert, the Rainy ones granted an audience to

Human…

This world is so pure, so beautiful and flawless. Everything has its place, purpose and meaning. Everything is interconnected and all life somehow fits. The trees around me, bending their

Crawling in the dark…

– Why is this happening to me? – An old man cried out, a wounded, hurt cry that only those who suffered understand. The alley was dark and damp, and

The rain within

There was nothing outside but rain. I stood by the window, counting the drops and wondering just how many fall in between two heartbeats. Clouds were looming over the city,

This moment now…

We walk through the world dragging so much weight. Like anchored ships that only move am much as their chains let them, we drift through our lives with heavy chains

Have I told you?

Did I say “I love you” enough? I know I can’t change anything now, but these thoughts won’t leave me at peace now. So typical – my last breath will be

Storyteller

Come closer, my friend. I will show you things you never imagined exist before. I will tell you stories no one has ever heard before. I want to know that

To all the brave, dead bees…

People will call me foolish or crazy, or just stupid, but I’ll still admire the small, brave bee. Hopefully, I will never stop seeing the world in that way; maybe I’ll even see more and more of it with every new day.

One of those days…

You live your life, to the best of your abilities. Sometimes circumstances help you out; sometimes you get lucky, sometimes not so much. It is just the way of the

Half an hour

Mark was watching the never-ending landing-taking-off game standing on a safe side of a thick waiting room window. He could see the planes descending, landing and unloading; the engines switching

The beauty of grace

Isn’t grace a beautiful feature? Walking down a busy street, she barely touches you, but you can’t ignore her. Most people struggle to get where they want to be; avoiding

Those special people

We go through our lives, seeking our own truths; finding our own happiness, or at least fighting for it, one way or another. Through it all, we meet people, we
