Category: Da Capo al Poetry

Another one of those rare days
Has come again. Another year.
I look down at my feet again,
The river—cool and quiet.

Barefoot, enjoying warmth and sun,
I sit here by the river. I
Listen to soothing whispers and
Enjoy the sound of silence.

The river comes, the river goes,
The sun-kissed leaves of trees so green
Blow in the wind. And I am free:
This moment is my blessing.

I’m turning twenty-two today.
The hour glass keeps pouring sand,
And yet as I am here right now,
The moment stops. It’s timeless.

I started playing the piano as a child and, later on, I also learned how to play the flute. Music eventually led me to poetry, the music of words, and I’ve been exploring their worlds ever since.

I feel alive when I do so, discovering myself piece by piece. And I feel happy. 🙂

If I am happy, I turn to music and to poetry. If I am sad, I do the same thing. This also goes for the times when I feel depressed, full of anxiety, grateful, excited, content, calm, stressed, or relaxed. Whatever the emotion I feel or the emotional state I am in, music and poetry are my way of unwinding and of remembering who I am.

The notes and the words collide, the worlds of music and poetry collide, creating harmony in my soul. And that is when I feel alive. Pure bliss.
