Life, an Ocean

By Nicu Stanciu

Life is very much like an ocean. It's huge and full of things, some good, some bad, some neither good or bad. Some times it's calm, other times it's stormy. We all travel across it, fighting for survival, hoping that in the end we'll find... happiness. These poems are my thoughts and my feelings recorded during a part of my own journey. I hope you'll find comfort in them. Have a nice trip! Peace.

About me

––––––––

My name is Nicolae Adrian Stanciu, Nicu Stanciu in short.

I was born in October 1980, in Blaj, Alba County, Romania.

In 2004 I graduated from the University of Art and Design of Cluj Napoca and ever since I'm an independent professional artist.

I wrote my first poem when I was eight. My next attempt was at about twelve and since then I've been writing poetry sporadically.

At the beginning of 2020 the pandemics increased my need of writing poetry as a means of meditation, introspection and therapy, thing which eventually led to a collection of poems of which I decided later to make a selection and publish in this volume.

Life is very much like an ocean. It's huge and full of things, some good, some bad, some neither good or bad. Some times it's calm, other times it's stormy. We all travel across it, fighting for survival, hoping that in the end we'll find... happiness. These poems are my thoughts and my feelings recorded during a part of my own journey. I hope you'll find comfort in them. Have a nice trip! Peace.
