The Whisper of Power

The Whisper of Power - Emotion and Networks

A tie forms.

A tie dies.

The patterns of networks change.

A friend comes,

A friend leaves.

Social networks congeal and dissolve.

The whisper of power,

Blows in to eager ears

Opened by emotions.

Emotional encounters

Crystallize into pearls of trust

And align the sight

With the heart.

I come, my friend,

Because I love you.

I leave, my friend,

Because I love you, too.

This Beast in My Chest

This Beast in My Chest

It wants to roar

This beast in my chest:

I hate the world

I hate the cage!

It wants to escape

This beast in my chest:

I want freedom

My home is in the nature!

It wants to destroy

This beast in my chest:

Give me a hammer

I will break my prison!
