Emptiness

Time of the harvest, wind is blowing away the empty wheat stalks, emptied of grain
Time of the harvest, wind is blowing away the empty wheat stalks, emptied of grain
My eyes are hollow, no more tears to loose
My eyes are hollow, no more tears to loose
No more wishes to grant
No more wishes to grant
My soul feels suddenly so heavy,  lived it all
My soul feels suddenly so heavy, lived it all
One thousand and one years old, just tiredness and sadness lies inside me.
One thousand and one years old, just tiredness and sadness lies inside me.
Nothingness, emptiness, darkness and silence...
Nothingness, emptiness, darkness and silence...
I will wait for the rain to stop
I will wait for the rain to stop
For your kisses to dry my wet hair and bring our smiles out again...
For your kisses to dry my wet hair and bring our smiles out again...
I will wait for your loving words to reach my soul
I will wait for your loving words to reach my soul
just like warm sun rays reaching out to bring life
just like warm sun rays reaching out to bring life
after the long cold winter time...
after the long cold winter time...
I will wait for another dusk,
I will wait for another dusk,
 for the darkness to fall
for the darkness to fall
and knock on our door, inviting us inside
and knock on our door, inviting us inside
to spend the night in each other arms...
to spend the night in each other arms...
I will wait for another dawn, for the bright blue sky and our steel horse to take us away
I will wait for another dawn, for the bright blue sky and our steel horse to take us away
where no one can go except us...
where no one can go except us...

Every one of us

here

knows the anguish

of the writer's life

we stumble

raise and fall

on that rocky

writing

road

everyday

we all need

people

around

who give us

courage

to survive.


Richard C. Morais

sets his first novel

in the world of cooking

vivid and funny

brimming with the colours

flavours

and scents of the kitchen

it becomes a succulent treat

about family

nationality

the good taste

and most of all

about the EXPECTATION

to win THREE MICHELIN STARS

to be the best.


Chefs just as writers

can not recount

the number of times

they despair

at the latest rejection

stumped by a problem

lost and defeated

waiting for someone

to pick them up

dust them off

and sent them on the way

again

with a kind word

and some stimulating insight.


Reading these words

about the rejected chef

I could not help

to see

to feel

to cry over

every tortured soul

of any writer

denied of the publishing success:



"He lost his way,

he stopped growing,

that is the lesson in all this.

He was running and running,

but had no focus,

the hardest thing."


"The world changes

very fast

around us,

the key to any success

is to embrace this constant change

and move with the times."


But you have to change

with the times

in a way

that renews

your core essence,

not abandons it.

The change for the sake of change

-without an anchor

-it will only lead you further astray."


" In those darkest moments

when you loose the reason to go on,

you stay awake in the wee hour

aimlessly staring into open space

between sleeping and waking

your mind restlessly turning around

suddenly a vision

appears in front of your eyes

a mere tiny vessel

tossed by a big waves of life

sliding down

and emerging again

in big turmoil of events

that are out of its control

reminding you of many points

in life

we can not see

what awaits us around the corner

precisely

at such times

when our path forward

is unclear

we must bravely keep our nerve

putting one foot before the other

as we march

blindly

into the dark."


The life gives and takes away

What happens to him

what happen to you

what happen to us

is only revealed

at the right time.


Him, you and me

somewhere

in life

we often loose our way

just to meet someone

who props us up

and help us to be restored to the world

again

when we loose hope

we find it again

often

in the most unlikely of places

and in the unlikeliest of people

when they give us hand

whispering into our ear

the words we need to hear:

"When you try to control everything,

you enjoy nothing,

relax,

breathe,

let go

and just LIVE..."
