Sofia
I spent most of the pandemic in Sofia. It was one of the most precious, beautiful periods of my life. And I miss it so much.
Daily Haiku
Stars
Today's my birthday, and reflecting on the insignificance of my life in the scheme of things brought some inspiration for the daily Haiku.
Escaping from thoughts
Sometimes meditation or mindfulness is not enough to free your mind from thoughts that clatter it, so you have no choice but physically escaping the oppressive room in the hopes of finding solace outside.
Lilacs & Roses
The inspiration from this Haiku comes from the death of a loved one. The graveyard where his remains lie was full of roses and lilacs when I was a kid. But I can't almost remember anything else now.
The night is still
This is a simpler, more relaxed, and less ambitious Haiku. A simple celebration of a peaceful, dark, and cozy night.
Eyes closed, eyes open
There is a lot going on in this short Haiku from an emotional point of view. The Eastern wind is a reference to that part of my life that is tied to the East, specially the Eastern Europe, but also the East in general.
Clouds
This year, I have decided to start a new daily post series, the Daily Haiku, featuring one daily Haiku poem every day.
