Tears in Rain

Beschrijving

In the same way a photograph captures a moment, the poems in this collection serve as snapshots of thought, emotion, and experience. They hold within them the fleeting essence of a single instant, a transient image frozen in time. Like Polaroids, they develop quickly, capturing a scene or a feeling, inviting you to linger and reflect on the delicate details. These snapshots contain not only beauty but also the raw, unfiltered truths of life; preserving a broad spectrum of human experience. Most moments captured are small and mostly anonymous, experienced by few, sometimes only by one. And as moments pass and memories fade, so too will the experience of these poems fade into time, like tears in rain.
