    About this ebook

    Pain, specifically the pain of a loss, is an unavoidable fact of life. Some of us have had so much pain that we are overwhelmed by it. The thought of trying to work through the pain, to face the realities of what has happened, may make us feel like shutting down and giving up. However, there is hope. There is a way to work through pain and to come out the other side stronger. In the end we have to make peace with the past in order to continue this life.

    The poetry collection As the Rest Come to My Heart was made during the most troublesome moments of Joannes Rhinos last 10 years of life, when dark clouds enveloped him. Anger, anxiety, emptiness, guilt and lost love coalesced into a single, unbearable emotion.

      As the Rest Come to My Heart - Joannes Rhino

      The Immortal

      He came into my sleep, strangled fear

      Lifted me up as I fell

      With all the sins felt so weird

      Then I damned in hell

      I opened my eyes, hoping would fade out

      But I was lying in the coffin

      Feeding in the darkness, living into rots

      Somehow he wins again

      As I walk in the shadows of the death

      I realize this is the fate that I hate

      And from this time forth,

      I will never speak word

      I please my maker with my thirst

      Live in memories now he I trust

      It become worthwhile to rise again

      But always feels the same

      Days, months, years….journey

      Just a cold dark land in
