Work can never stop!

I started a new project for another book. This time, I returned to contemporary poetry after a long break.

This work will bring up themes that I have yet to explore. See a sample of what's in production.

Are you feeling terrible pain?

The pain will go away soon; that too will pass.

Are you experiencing exceptional joy?

Enjoy it fully; that too will pass.

Are you tired of seeing injustice and evil?

Don’t be so angry; that too will pass.


There are days when I appreciate diversion,

I enjoy each moment of relaxation.

I enjoy what happens in all situations.

 

Sometimes, the day is full of boring,

There is no good moment on it,

The day drags on in great suffering.

I’d like to say more, but I risk revealing details that are crucial to the book. I’ll share with you some excerpts from the poems I’ve already written, so you can have a taste of what's coming.

“Prayer is a fundamental part of the Christian life,

For many reasons, each one keeps praying.

They always pray asking for some blessing,

And there are also prayers asking for pardon.

God will hear all prayers, no matter the reason.”


“I am very weak,

But God is with me.

I can do anything,

But God can do all things.”

Una serata divertente!

Venerdì sera, Carlos passò vicino alla camera e vide che Suzana era splendida. Era truccata, indossava abiti eleganti e scarpe con il tacco ...
