Of darkness and light

Cand poate totul pare a fii prea mult..
Emm... Well.. When everything just seems to be too much.
 

I heard stories

“You struggle, you struggle, and you fall again!
Why bothering? Why try in vain?
You see.. You cannot do it by yourself,
You`re an antique, and you`ll be on my shelf!
I tried to tell you, all this time..
No matter what you`ll do, you`ll still be mine!”

He kept on going, trying to deceive,
Trying to steal me, for he`s peeved..

…
I cannot do it.. Not anymore..
I am so sad.. So tired of this war..
But do not let me, I now beg,
Please God, have mercy, cleanse my head!

…
As storm ravages the sea,
The ship`s in harm`s way.. A terrifying place to be!
It cannot stay, nor could turn back
It has to face that awful wrack..

So, only hope is left,  that maybe, someday..
I will see the sun again, so.. Pray..

The pounding wind - swallowing  water..
The shout of thunder foretelling slaughter
The lighting, tearing down the ship..
As hail falls just like a whip..
There`s no escape.. We`re in.. To deep..

...
I heard stories someone`s told,
That no one, ever, survives the cold..
And laments, how men were sliced,
By the unforgiving, everlasting ice..

I heard women cry for years,
Filling all of us with tears
All their life, just filled with bane..
As their men left.. And left remain..

And read books, that often bawl,
To see the darkest burden of them all
To see you closest, leaving you behind
To fight against you, to join the other side..

Pain is, it was, and will forever be..
You cannot fight against something you cannot see.

…
The tempest was intensifying..
Even the heavens, crying..
As stars have fallen, more to come..
Bringing the fire, to wipe the scum..

And I can hear, the tears in my eyes..
All that was left, is now demised..
And I can feel, the approaching end,
With mountains falling in my wend..

And if all that, wasn`t enough,
The land itself shedding its slough
My ship, is falling.. as everything around,
Heading towards the melting ground..

…
I heard stories, of the end
And of men and laws they`ve bent..
I heard songs of love and joy
Of small children playing with their toys..

I heard women cry in tears,
As their men returned in cheers..
And in one passing, but eternal moment
See the end of their own torment..

And, read books, that often say
How light can shine even on prey..
Of enemies, becoming friends that you can trust
Of friendships, bonds and ties, with all of us..

Love is, was, and forever be,
The one who`ll put an end to all of misery!
As for my ship.. I now, can see
The light that shines on you and me
The exit from this awful storm
The end of pain, of being torn
Between the whispers in my head,
And my own way I have ahead.

...
And I can hear, tears in my eyes..
All that was dead, is now revived,
And I can feel the approaching start,
 With angels leading on my path..

And if all that, wasn`t enough,
The heavens sing for we have passed
The torment, sorrow and illusion,
And made our way to the conclusion
That faith, and hope, no matter what
Will always be the key of glut
So, praying, will forever be,
Escape from chains of all uncertainty.

Learn from all things..

Originala, este poezia lui Traian Dorz, "Invata de la toate". I`ve translated a poem.. which is not as easy as it seems.. -.-  The original was amazing, mine.. lacks.. a lot.. Learn from the waters to have your way improved  Learn from the mountain how to believe, unmoved Learn from the fire that everything is ash Learn from the shadows to keep your mouth and watch Learn from all stones how much you have to say Learn from the Sun how you should always fade Learn from the wind that often wafts on paths How silent through this world you really have to pass Learn from them all, for they are all your kin  How beautiful to die, how beautiful to live. Learn from the maggot that no one is forgotten Learn from the fire what is to burn inside. Learn from the Sun to know the place of time Learn from the river to never turn your back Learn from the lily, the purity you lack Learn from the shadow to humbly be like her, Learn from the...

Chapter 01. What I think

I think I’m not as good as I thought. This entire hero persona that I think most of us have is crashing slowly. I’m afraid of it happening, I try to avoid it with everything I have most of the time. But nothing seems to work. Even more so, the more I avoid it, the sadder I become. There’s a story about this. I was in this car with a, I would call friend at the time, from the church I was frequenting. We were having this long conversation about our lives while he was driving to china town to buy some freshly baked bread. We sat in that car park for a while talking and I mentioned that, while going on about my life, I ignored what god told me to do, and resisted it. However, after a while, I became depressed, too exhausted to resist and keep on doing my own thing, so I decided to finally cave in and do what god has initially told me. I can’t possibly recall right now, but it was a high chance of being about my girlfriend at the time. He immediately interjected how such occurrences...

Thoughts.

            So, people talk to each other. Maybe sometimes they talk to themselves alone. On their way to work in their car or hidden at the back of the bus, thinking no one can hear, trying to sort things out. Tired of the loneliness inside their head. Creating other people, other voices, to be there for them. They need it. At least, they believe they do, truly. Considering how strange it is, you’d think they wouldn’t even try. But loneliness is much worse than stigma, that’s for sure, and no ugly stare from some random stranger is ever going to stop them from calming their echoing void inside. You’d be surprise what the voices have to say sometimes, they’re quite amusing when they try. Sometimes they don’t, and it’s quite daunting to even try listening. Or giving them a voice to begin with.             You’d think talking like that makes people insane, or that they must be i...
