Lights are dancing on the walls at night,
flickering shadows talk to me.
The silence is too big to handle,
it suffocates us all in.
And the writing of it,
brings the sleepless tension back.
Can the past hear my whispers?
Can it read my lines?
Dropping love in the dark
I shiver.
I wouldn’t trade this silence for the world.
The morning’s light breeze
wards off the endless thoughts.
Keeping my mind busy
is all I can think of.

Locations: The basic location where I took these pictures is in Warns, Friesland, in July 2020. Since I used this camera and film during the summer, you will also find some colorful images from biking around the Hoornsemeer lake in Groningen, taken in August 2020. Also, two pictures are taken during my first time picking blueberries in Wapse. In the Netherlands you can visit picking gardens, such as the Zeldenrust in Wapse, where you can pick your own blueberries! You take all the time you need with the picking process and when you are done, they weigh your buckets and you pay per kilo. It was a wonderful experience, even though there were not many blueberries left in the gardens! Needless to say, we ate from our blueberry batch a lot, till a couple of months ago!

Τον Οκτώβριο,
τα κλαδιά στα κόκκινα
λάμπουν στον ήλιο.
Τον Νοέμβριο,
τα κλαδιά στα κίτρινα
πέφτουν στο χώμα.
Το φθινόπωρο,
το αναποφάσιστο
που μας ηρεμεί.
Καμιά γιορτή
αμέτρητα τα φύλλα
κανένα γέλιο.
Κίτρινο χώμα,
πού πήγαν οι αγκαλιές;
Δύει ο ήλιος.

Outside the window
the wind howls violently,
it’s that time of year
when nature crashes silence
and together they march
on our souls’ path.
I can’t sleep at night,
slowly losing my breath,
while the streetlights flicker.
Time stops partially,
it crumbles underneath my pillow,
suffocating dust particles
and lost dreams.
Listen to my voice,
it is hemorrhaging
stardust and fear.
The pages filled with letters,
the books turn dusty,
my eyes hurt, swollen from the wind.
There’s an ink stain on my bedsheet.
