Trying to be clear and concise

I fear of loosing the meaning

And all the feathers that cushion falling

If the words aren’t ringing in resonance

Between the night and the day

Between the presence and the absence

Between the longing and the fulfillment

Between the giving and the taking

Just between

Just between I am floating

Trying to find a warm current of the friendly sea

In the seaweeds of magnetism and fear

Studying hard the book of my mind

Opening the chapters I left behind

Caressing the sprouting plant of wonder

Oh wonderful charismatic child of hope

Seemingly undeniable scars

Seamlessly sown to perfection of my expectation

I love the waters of golden dreams

The lotus petals on my feet

The paradise birds on my lids

And moody music all along

Fragrant moments of beauty just born

Through the hurricane in my soul

Sitting onstage, there’s more than just a spotlight shining—there’s a journey behind that seat. Every moment of doubt, every rehearsal, every "Can I do this?" led to a resounding "Yes, I can." Reflect on how far you’ve come and what’s still ahead.

"From stage fright to stage presence, growth happens one step at a time. This image captures not just a moment, but a milestone. Remember: progress isn’t always loud—it’s often quiet moments of showing up and saying, 'I’m here.'
