Snippets of the past


Glass country (dedicated to my forgotten self)

When I walked through the gates of my New Life leaving the broken soul outside, I was afraid to look at my face and ask: ‘What’s waiting for me here?’ Where have my honoured dreams gone? Dreams that were supposed to be called my future. And why am I laughing at the matt shadows of this sweet pain?

As the fake fire-costume wore off of my shackled soul my mind became the landlord of the immature heart. My shining blindness was replaced by the inner-eye but it arrived too late to see the bleeding wounds inside.

But I’m not going to let my translucent country to be occupied again and I will be standing on top of my glass castle as a winner. This war is ending now without chains and with laughter because I know there is no turning back.

The winner

He was staring at his long gone past with a questioning look and took off his ancient clothes. And nothing else arrived. The dance has now finished, this is it so take off your shoes and go! Your camouflage heart is breaking but be happy and celebrate as you are the hero: you conquered yourself.
