Happiness carried away by the river
Waves pushing it far from the coastline
Staring at the sun and neglecting the moon
Just like we ignore life’s boon.

There is darkness before the dawn
Peace before the storm
But when the sun rises
Everything again will be adorned.

Waiting for the bad to crumble in the light
Nothing can stop us from having this fight
You’ll have to move like waves
To pave your ways towards better days

There is a flame in the dark
Spark in the night
Just like glitters on the satin gown

As bright as gold
It’s a sign of hope

My Thoughts To you...

Some passages in this book are related to the Pandemic of Covid-19

Also, paying my respect to all front-liners who fought for their country.

AUTHOR’S NOTE

During the international pandemic of the Covid-19, I felt an overflow of emotions.

I felt scared, sad, anxious.

Yet, grateful.

We saw the whole world going down due to this epidemy, people were dying and economies were crushing.

But, parallelly, we have been granted a chance to acknowledge the real importance of life, to cherish our loved ones and reflect on ourselves.

Following that, I decided to turn all my fervency into words...

A lesson to lean

It’s up to you

End of time

Our life in red

Days of oblivion

Legacy

Living

Revenge of a mother

Down the rabbit hole

In time of Pandemic

A sign of hope

Amber

Handcuffed in the dark

A masquerade

Like the champion that you are

A little human’s dream

An imposed illusion

Pass me the lighter

Navigate to your goals

Enemy

Your lies

I crave

Love is equal

An endless cycle

Irony of your light

We are flaw full

A complex masterpiece

The cure

If only

A reality

Feminism

Glass of life

Essence of serenity

End of your witching

Fallacy

Fading echoes

Solitude

Do not be weak

Who is to blame?

Balance of life

Pray

My love, a melody

A good side of the virus

A winner wins

Fantasy

Children of the angels

Be sharp

A story for the future

Like the swan

A lesson to learn

You know, what we’ve thought to be a new beginning turned out into a lesson.

We’ve found ourselves standing still, watching the world weakening.

Did we see it coming? Will we
