Experiences & Awakenings: A Walking Around

The following poems were written during these last two years, and they are a compilation of experiences, feelings and sensations, and of thoughts and ideas of myself about how to live in a new land far away from my homeland. During my work, I’ve tried to do the best selection because some the poems are related to each other, and I considered it too boring for the reader to read the same idea over and over even if a poem is written in different words. The content passes through many levels. First, the sensations of living in a different place and the spoiling for having a good time in order to discover a new way of personal freedom. Then, the disillusions of seeing the things as they really are and at the same time the feeling of loneliness I had and the consolation I’ve tried to relieve in order to overcome such disillusions. Finally, comes the moments of thinking about how to start over my life again; thus I acquired a new philosophy in order to make it easier and easygoing now that I’m on my own. After two years, I can say I adapted. I’ve realize that I shouldn’t expect the same things I’ve been accustomed to, and in some way, I’ve been able to have a better concept of what I really expect from myself and the future I’m willing to create. I just hope the book would be welcomed and to, in one way or another, fulfill out the readers’ expectations.
