    [555] When Nature Speaks

    Today, I saw a tree have an accident⁣Its windshield broken by a falling object⁣Yet it remains living amidst the progress⁣⁣Today, I saw a tree have an accident⁣It didn’t move, it didn’t scream, it didn’t honk⁣Only stood, only rooted, only breathing.⁣⁣Today, I spoke to a tree⁣It invited me to rest⁣Whispering to hang in there⁣It asked me…

    [553] The Sun & The Moon Dance

    Marvel at the play of light and shadows⁣Marvel at the dream of life ⁣Marvel at the movie we’re a part of ⁣All a carefully crafted illusion ⁣to forget the suffering ⁣until it reminds itself⁣Joy is a rare metal of the universe⁣jostling for its survival in the world of greed⁣⁣Marvel at the realness of emotions ⁣when…

  • [549] The Power of Silence

    [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…

    [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…

    [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…

    [539] In Search of New Beginnings

    A blackbird soars, circling my tragedy⁣⁣Amorphous thoughts form in my mind⁣⁣⁣⁣I dare not brave its end ⁣⁣Nor even stand amidst its trance ⁣⁣to not be lost again⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣To be lost is to no longer be grounded⁣⁣⁣⁣It is not flying in the infinite sky⁣⁣⁣⁣It is a hopeless free fall ⁣⁣for a hopeful divine intervention⁣⁣⁣⁣It is a leap…

    [538] The Clash of Lifetimes

    An incarnation on the battlefield⁣of an eternal cosmic clash⁣Anima wrestles animus for life⁣The alter ego sits on top ⁣watching the spectacle unfold⁣⁣Care defeats strength⁣Beauty prevails over truth⁣Perseverance annihilates stagnant repose⁣Inner peace conquers them all⁣The eternal contest within us unfolds⁣⁣It all harkens back to the source⁣Multiplying through Infinity’s door⁣The purpose is to be one again⁣The wrath…

    [529] The Hollow Earth

    where vulnerability goes to die⁣when the listener is self consumed⁣where love goes to hide when you’re not present⁣the hollow earth and its ravenous void⁣⁣the space of no return⁣where lightning cannot be captured⁣the constant beating of the heart⁣consumes all friendships⁣⁣chasing a lost memory⁣running on lost ground⁣i see the glimpses of remembrance⁣but forgetting makes a distracting sound⁣⁣where…

    [524] The Call of the Wild

    The truth, the night, the vastness⁣⁣The endless sky and the endless⁣⁣flights of fancy and feelings⁣⁣The intuitive heart and its⁣⁣tiptoeing to stay alive⁣⁣The silence and its end⁣⁣The sounds that illuminate light⁣⁣⁣⁣Nature dies in our minds⁣⁣as we disconnect from the world⁣⁣The trees and the rivers fade away⁣⁣and we lose touch with the earth⁣⁣Risen to the surface⁣⁣the depth…

    [523] Count Me Out

    When the lights go out⁣⁣I’m left with a lack in me⁣⁣like damage dwells in my knee⁣⁣Is it pain or upward spinal ecstasy?⁣⁣⁣⁣Playing catch up to my thoughts⁣⁣An utter abandon of pride⁣⁣Shudder and stutter in speech⁣⁣All the ravens waiting for me⁣⁣⁣⁣In the painting of my life⁣⁣lies a dark centre amidst delight⁣⁣Melancholic bitter sweet flight⁣⁣A confident self…

    [521] Our Tale Out Of Time

    Malignant thoughts ⁣overstay their welcome⁣The lure of passion⁣and the forgetfulness⁣of the aftertaste it leaves⁣The ruins of my resolve⁣weaker by the second ⁣⁣To resist all temptations ⁣where the mind is forgotten⁣To bring awareness to my breath⁣where the self is forgotten⁣I centre my attention ⁣to the conscious till⁣there is no awareness ⁣of my external surroundings ⁣⁣Only an…

    [520] Enigmatic Presence

    ⁣Running out of words⁣in a velveteen quicksand⁣Engulfed in the eternal⁣I listen to my oceanic orchestra⁣My inner world jostles ⁣and i turn the other way⁣until i’m facing away⁣from my eventual fate⁣⁣Everything and nothing⁣all at once, twice and all times⁣I move feelings⁣I force sadness⁣I grab the fleeting⁣I am an enigma ⁣stuck in my own ways⁣locked out of…

    Cradle me in my suffering⁣⁣Breathlessness in my crying⁣⁣Waves crash on my walls⁣⁣Took a second to break it all⁣⁣Before you turn into a stranger⁣⁣say it one more time you do⁣⁣⁣⁣Misty self image ⁣⁣I’m starting to forget⁣⁣Slivers of courage remains⁣⁣I carry it in an open casket⁣⁣The journey of remembrance ⁣⁣is now one of survival holding on⁣⁣⁣⁣The man…

    [515] Slivers of You & I

    The world knows me not⁣for they only see the living⁣I exist in the merrymaking dreams⁣I exist in the margins of time⁣I am the reflected ⁣But the reflection is all they see⁣⁣Subtlety of thoughts is my palace⁣The source of light is my kingdom⁣Yet in the five senses is where i am⁣usually lost and found⁣In forgetfulness is…

    [513] The Blind Kingdom of Dreams

    Signs of her auburn hair ⁣Her lips only touch despair⁣Slight bravado in her touch⁣Every deed she does is fair⁣⁣Kindness leaves her soul⁣when she sees with her gawking eyes⁣Lives, sunrise, wars and doom⁣how could it coexist⁣⁣She never blinked to sleep⁣concentration fallacy⁣Insomniac in the flesh⁣The night spoke in tears⁣⁣One day she awoke ⁣from the furore of the…
