Ink and Paper

Let me write the words held tight inside my mind.

Let me scream through the letters on the paper.

Let the dark ink be the darkness in which all my fears reside and are unleashed.

Let the hours pass, the flames melt the wax, 'till my hands lay lifeless at my sides.

Let the moonlight caress my sleepy face 'till the sun rises again and I awake with a new dream to persuade.

Let the wind blew all my worries and inquiries.

Let the stars shine with the hopes and loves of mortals.

Let the oceans rise and fall, the volcanoes sleep and explode.

Let the dragons fly or vanish in the midst of fantasy.

Let the world stop or move along.

Let everything be as it is or become something else.

But never let, the ink and paper to disappear.

"Greatness resides in those who are not afraid to fly and fall. I

Spring Break

The sun was held high in the sky. The weather was neither cold nor hot, it was just nice. There was not too much wind that day, just a light breeze now and then. The swing moved back and forth in a monotonous way; the trees holding it for it not to fall. The birds sang with the morning sun and danced from tree to tree. She looked up to the small pieces of sky that were visible through the manes of leaves. The sky was clear with just a few white clouds here and there that gave a sense of life to the sky itself. She sighed and looked down at her feet swinging with the swing itself. Today was the last day. Tomorrow would be another day different from the ones before. She would go back to the same monotony of life but right now she still could enjoy what was left. Too much had happened the day before, and during the week itself, and in the week before that sitting peacefully on the swing did not quite fit her now. It all started the day everything began. Same swing, same trees, s
