    [550] The Subtle Body’s Tale

    “You have been silent for too long.⁣⁣⁣Tell me a tale.⁣⁣⁣So much time spent in solitude—⁣⁣⁣In living, in limbo, and in not living at all.⁣⁣⁣You must have a story to tell,⁣⁣⁣Emotions to make me feel,⁣⁣⁣Thoughts that made their way⁣⁣⁣To epiphany.”⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣I have been holding a thread on two ends,⁣⁣⁣pulled by fate and fear,⁣⁣⁣ensuring it doesn’t break⁣⁣⁣under the…

    [549] The Power of Silence

    In the silence, I finally sensed everyone’s inner lives. Some sit with their thoughts, some write down what they ignore during conversations, some switch places, denying their bodies the gift of stillness, and some meditate on God. Each person is at a different stage in life, yet all face similar battles within themselves.⁣⁣⁣⁣Silence is the…

    [548] Tides of Time

    I wash up on the shore of Tomorrow Island,⁣⁣Sun yet to rise⁣⁣Can I skip the worst parts?⁣⁣Could I? Should I?⁣⁣Don’t want to live in should haves,⁣⁣Just want to feel, I am.⁣⁣Where do you think we go⁣⁣when waves return to the ocean?⁣⁣All the sand upon my hand⁣⁣doesn’t slip when it has already rained here⁣⁣⁣⁣When life feels…

    [547] The Deadliest Sword

    Everything he saw ⁣merged before his eyes ⁣But before it merged ⁣Everything was distant⁣⁣Lost in his inner world⁣,he stood by the riverside⁣Holding the deadliest sword ⁣known to mankind⁣⁣A boat arrives and he sits⁣The boatman is smiling ⁣The warrior is smiling ⁣So he asks ‘Why?’⁣⁣The warrior recollects horrors ⁣He reflects on his inner demons ⁣He thinks…

    [546] How To Remember and Forget

    In one sweeping gaze⁣⁣⁣You can tear it all apart⁣⁣⁣Slippages of my past ⁣⁣⁣cut through my stoic civil war⁣It beats another life to unearth my anxieties⁣⁣⁣Yet it remains invisible, omnipresent⁣⁣⁣My blindspots become the battlefield of⁣the paradoxical dance of my intrusive fears⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣It doesn’t make sense ⁣⁣⁣to live a lie of purity ⁣⁣⁣I suffer rhythmically and ⁣⁣⁣make a…

    [545] Waking from The Winter Sleep

    I was knocked out by the secret in the air⁣⁣Dismantled by the yearning to touch her hair⁣⁣I wish to come home to the silence of my words⁣⁣I wish to come home to the thought of you⁣⁣Let’s meet behind the grief of yesterday⁣⁣Meet me in suspended animation ⁣⁣where we find a moment to explore⁣⁣The life before…

    [544] My Eyes

    The sacred feeling ⁣⁣the universe in your eyes⁣⁣The feeling of self a haze⁣⁣But a boundless connection to infinity⁣⁣⁣⁣It comes, it lifts, then fades away,⁣⁣A fall that stretches, in disarray⁣⁣Theories of life ripped away⁣⁣All instincts devoid of creativity⁣⁣⁣⁣The sacred feeling⁣⁣the moon in my eyes ⁣⁣From my room’s window⁣⁣I feel the celestial grace, a moment⁣⁣⁣⁣I carry out…

    [543] The Battle Inside or The War Outside

    Hypnotise me⁣Make the source of ⁣my anxiety revealed in your liveliness⁣Teleport me to a point where ⁣I don’t have any choice ⁣but the right one⁣Hum me sweet melodies⁣Lull me and merge me into an endless consciousness⁣Featherless, formless, I fall…⁣⁣Eyes open I am shaken into my surroundings⁣Dreams had taken me to a place ⁣where every decision…

    [542] Come Home

    The answer is the simple thing denied⁣⁣⁣The obstacle is you in your own way⁣⁣⁣The present is tethered to the lifeless past⁣⁣⁣The future wails in denial of the present⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣You say things to others you want them to say to you⁣⁣⁣You hear echoes from them, memories fading like dreams⁣⁣⁣You see things in the margins known only to…

    [541] Rebirth of The Spectacular Inner Child

    The infinite world of the private⁣⁣entertains my waking moments⁣⁣It all begins with the images of a dream⁣⁣but I let it fade with the burden of reality⁣⁣I travel to a destination where I have never arrived⁣⁣The desire always wanting something new⁣⁣⁣⁣Once I arrived in a worldwhere I’ve only been in imagery⁣⁣I look around to be amidst…
