Once a friend-scientist asked me: "What is meant by the inner life?"

I answered: "Read my poetry."

He read, and he said: "Now I know."

Longings is a collection of the songs of a soul singing, crying, and laughing about the sun and the moon, reflected in the seemingly still waters of the lake, hiding the never-peaceful water-god and his court.

Longings paints the images of myriads of feelings and thoughts that find their lives in words. These words sketch the invisible world of pain, love, struggle, hope, hate, and all that our life offers us when we hear its voice.
