The tumult, shaking the mind, sinking it into an abyss…   Beneath the wry fragments of a face And the shrouds of broken imaginations, Shadowing the only window of hope The remains of the cataclysm Swept the parched hills And the hot dry valleys of the mind; Emptying its ideas, Turning to a blank and barren core.   But where from will life originate in this dreary desert s...

Reflections, an evening on some old memories… You teach me much of this belief That being happy is so much a relief! That those smiles are no less than miracles, Even when what left is all in shackles.
