back in town

“A hero ventures forth from the world of common day into a region of supernatural wonder: fabulous forces are there encountered and a decisive victory is won: the hero comes back from this mysterious adventure with the power to bestow boons on his fellow man.”

waiting / no mind

Serene, I fold my hands and wait,
Nor care for wind, nor tide, nor sea;
I rave no more 'gainst time or fate,
For lo! my own shall come to me.

I stay my haste, I make delays,
For what avails this eager pace?
I stand amid the eternal ways,
And what is mine shall know my face.

Asleep, awake, by night or day,
The friends I seek are seeking me;
No wind can drive my bark astray,
Nor change the tide of destiny.

What matter if I stand alone?
I wait with joy the coming years;
My heart shall reap where it hath sown,
And garner up its fruit of tears.

The waters know their own and draw
The brook that springs in yonder height;
So flows the good with equal law
Unto the soul of pure delight.

The stars come nightly to the sky;
The tidal wave unto the sea;
Nor time, nor space, nor deep, nor high,
Can keep my own away from me.


- John Burroughs

life flies

“Oh threats of Hell and Hopes of Paradise!
One thing at least is certain - This Life flies;
One thing is certain and the rest is Lies -
The Flower that once has blown forever dies.”

― Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam

Enjoy, another word for love

Joy, beautiful spark of the gods,
Daughter from Elysium,
We enter, drunk with fire,
Heavenly One, thy sanctuary!
Your magic binds again
What convention strictly divides;
All people become brothers,
Where your gentle wing abides.

Who has succeeded in the great attempt,
To be a friend's friend,
Whoever has won a lovely woman,
Add his to the jubilation!
Indeed, who calls even one soul
Theirs upon this world!
And whoever never managed, shall seek a friend
Wiping out his tears enjoy this reunion!

All creatures drink of joy
At nature's breast.
Just and unjust
Alike taste of her gift;
She gave us kisses and the fruit of the vine,
A tried friend to the end.
[Even] the worm has been granted sensuality,
And the cherub stands before God!

Gladly, as heavenly joy flies
On her courses through the hearts,
Thus, brothers, you should quit your race,
Joyful, like a full human going to love.

You millions, embrace yourselves.
This kiss is for all the world!
Brothers, it’s not above the starry canopy
There doesn’t dwell any loving Father.
Do you fall in worship, you millions?
World, do you know your creator?
Seek her not in the heavens
Find Joy in your Hearts.

the ghost days

In the old park, lonely and bound by frost
A shape just passed and was in darkness lost.
Her eyes are moist, her lips are cold,
Inaudible the words she never told.

In the old park, lonely and bound by frost,
A ghost recalled the perished days she lost.

Ulysses' Dream

A boat in the middle of the sea
a dream of you
you
come closer only in my sleep

I'd like to cover your sigh with my kiss
but I fear of waking up
So I keep gazing at you from far
with a passion filling my heart

longing to meet you at night
every moon light
dreaming, you 're getting near
I've been sailing on afar

beautiful sea
my lullaby
calm, without crests
tempestuous

My dream is but something else
Can't you see
among the moon and the stars
a sailor of war waking up with love in his heart

from home

There is one adventure, one hero; 

The human. 

There is one soul, one communion;
With the divine, naked but whole.
