NOT A GRAVE

I’m asleep in the forest

swallowed up silently by the night

I didn’t try to fight it

tired souls are whole again

covered in layers of tumulus

as for the trees

I love them as they

rustle rustle away in the breeze

there is this drunk, he’s blue and a little dark,

he asked: once upon a time, was this what I wanted?

when tiredness never touched me

I should rest on my bed

dig a hole in it

wait for the tree roots to fill it up

wait for the leaves to cast shadows over my eyes

am I growing a tree

in the middle of a forest

immersed in the embrace of my lover

and unhappiness shall never be say

Feliz Natal

Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

Hoje, 24 de dezembro, data que antecede o Natal, eu gravei uma mensagem ao meu público, ou seja mulheres que passaram e passam por situação de violência doméstica. Confesso que fiquei elaborando algo que pudesse levar um pouco de esperança a essas mulheres que têm uma realidade não muito confortável, vou usar essa palavra aqui para enfatizar o momento, por se tratar de uma época onde as famílias são calorosas.

Todos nós sabemos que o Natal é tempo de celebrar o nascimento de Jesus, Natal é tempo renovação, de amor e perdão. Mas como falar de perdão, quando muitas mulheres são maltratadas, violentadas, levam surras de seus maridos, companheiros ou namorados?

yaskhan

Many things in life don’t make sense 
if you question life, it takes offense
‘call it fate’ life says in its defence
most times it’s at your sanity’s expense
living life has become a pretence
life throws a curveball nonetheless
you still pick up the pieces and commence
because ‘hope’ is something that life invents
give it time, says life, no more laments
life is something that time represents
like an hourglass in destiny’s events
slipping through one’s fingers, nonetheless
I can’t figure out life, I must confess
maybe I have missed the point of life’s intent.

Greg Abbott Slammed as Thousands Lose Power in Texas During Bomb Cyclone

Governor Greg Abbott faced backlash Friday after thousands of Texans were left without power due to an arctic blast slamming into the state this week.

The storm brought icy temperatures and strong winds to Texas on Friday, straining the state’s power grid and leaving more than 77,000 customers without power. While the storm did not cause widespread blackouts as one did in 2021, some power companies were forced to initiate smaller blackouts to alleviate the power grid’s stress after Texas authorities underestimated demand.
