There stands he

…and everywhere I go,You greet me.…and everywhere I look,You are. Shining, like a golden flame,A blaze on the horizon:There my lord stands,His hair – brightest fire.

Just few words today, and that in pencil (c)

I honestly never thought I’d be experiencing a writer’s block in front of a blank page. I mean, I’ve never had one, in all my writing years, and there’s been about ten of them, if not more. But here I am, in front of my computer, renewing my relationship with wordpress after a long, 5Continue reading “Just few words today, and that in pencil (c)”
