Life Lessons

October 6, 2022October 6, 2022 Annabel28 Comments

Laugh, make the world laugh with you; Weep, you'd better off weeping alone, loud and proud, such aloneness is a gift. Love, let the words of the heart speak for you; Hate, may you find the rare courage to forgive, succeed or fail, fight your own dragon battles. When weary, don't shoulder the burden of… Continue reading Life Lessons

The Mystery

September 6, 2022February 4, 2023 Annabel24 Comments

I once saw a galaxy of grass knitting the mountain top, strongly, steadily, expanding and claiming territories. From there grew new suns, moons and fresh constellations. They reminded me of you. Your face and your smiles, I only vaguely remember, But Dear, I need not see you to know you are here. Your breath of… Continue reading The Mystery

I asked him for help, his wife had been mad, he nodded, with eyes fixed on a shelf full of philosophical books, and that was it. I begged for his support, his wife had been bad, he frowned, the eloquent tongue of a diplomat fell in dead silence, and that was it. I cried for… Continue reading The First Man of My Life

Nordic Lullaby

March 12, 2021July 23, 2021 Annabel17 Comments

Life can show you mercy, it can tear your soul apart. You've walked a lonely road, how far you’ve been from home? May it be when the moon smiles, you come to me with tales of days in goodness spent. May it be when the darkness falls, your heart will again be pure and true.… Continue reading Nordic Lullaby
