Near the highway, it sits peacefully a marsh. Its inhabitants are unknown, there are some aquatic plants populating it densely. Few trees poke their trunks up from the see of wetland grasses to reach the sun with their leaves. In the background, further north, there are a few roof tops, all that one can seeContinue reading “Birds In A Marsh”

about angels and saints
Since I was little, I knew of angels. They were mythical figures in stories and songs, never truly believed to be real, even during my childhood flights of fancy. Growing up, I dismissed their existence, learning to rely on the tangible, the physical world around me. Adulthood, with its harsh realities, seemed to demand I discard the clutter of imagination. The belief in the supernatural mightContinue reading “about angels and saints”
letter to you
March 16th, 2024 It’s March, the month of nature’s revival from the deep sleep during the winter months. Trees in the forest unfurl their buds to give life to new growth, just another stretch towards the sun.

OUR CHRISTMAS STORY
The night had fallen, and the dark and cold air filled the room, coming through the windows. The three friends stood quietly in the darkness, close to each other, staring around. They came to the mountain earlier that day, driven by their human masters. The ride was enjoyable, landscapes displayed in front of them throughContinue reading “OUR CHRISTMAS STORY”
The Drink of Fire

The Legend of the Greatest Wine on Earth
It’s late fall in Transylvania, warm weather and clear skies. A little unusual for this time of the year, an alarming sign or just a caprice of the seasons. Fruiting trees are still bearing fruits, some grapes are still ripening on the vines. More so, a peaceful golden glamor of the fields and the rustyContinue reading “The Legend of the Greatest Wine on Earth”
Letter
I’m writing this letter from the bottom of a great mountain. On my journey, running from the world, I always had the hope that one day I will reach a mountain like this. But now that I found it, it ain’t anything in it to heal my wounds. Last time I wrote to you, IContinue reading “Letter”
Letter to You
Dear mom, I’m writing to you from the loneliness of this shiny tower. The ocean’s waves hit hard at its foundation, wind gusts come and go, but the tower stands stubbornly, strong and impenetrable. It’s a calm night out there tonight, and the ocean is tranquil. A quiet, icy moon reflects in the waters. JustContinue reading “Letter to You”
Just An Unsuccessful Attempt to Look for Answers
I sit here and wonder what type of beings we are? What kind of godly alchemy mixed the original atoms, coming like a cloud from all over the universe to give birth to this awkward animal that we are? What mishap appeared in the evolution process that led to the creation of this physically weakContinue reading “Just An Unsuccessful Attempt to Look for Answers”
