Welcome

I created this space as a meeting place — of words and readers, of languages and cultures, of what is said and what lingers between the lines. Here you’ll find my poetry, short stories, and reflections, in both Serbian and English, because I believe a beautiful word doesn’t stop at borders.

The River's Dream

Summary – The River's Dream The River's Dream is a lyrical meditation on the journey of life, memory, and the eternal search for belonging. Through the symbol of the river, the poem explores the human experience as a continuous flow between origin and destiny. The river becomes a living presence that dreams, remembers, longs, and carries within it both beauty and quiet unrest. Rich natural imagery—the moon, stars, freshly cut grass, and the vast blue sea—creates a timeless landscape where nature reflects the inner world of the human soul. As the river follows its course toward the sea, it becomes a metaphor for humanity itself: born from the earth, shaped by time and memory, and ultimately returning to the infinite. The poem celebrates the profound bond between humanity and nature while contemplating themes of transience, hope, identity, and the enduring cycle of life.

Living Earth - For my father, whose words built more than any house ever could.

Short Stories

Living Earth - For my father, whose words built more than any house ever could.

The story reminds us that a house is much more than timber, stone, and mortar. It is a sacred place that unites the souls of our ancestors, those who dwell within it today, and the generations yet to come. The strength of a home's foundation shapes its life, just as the condition of a person's soul shapes the home they leave as their legacy.
