Dreaming of Flowers Candles Incense A cool Autumn breeze Green tea sipped from a pretty cup Piano music tinkling over my shattered nerves Picking them up, one by one, knitting them into a harmony Something to hold me together Each day, a little of this mountain is conquered I take notes for the next day […]
My head is full of pressure serious things which must be done immediately Other parts of my brain run like children out of the house away from the arguing adults They are chasing dopamine Which makes me anxious Add it to the stack that piles precariously on my neck It’s so heavy it might break […]
None of it matters. Unless it matters to us. And then it doesn’t matter who else it matters to. Matter is just matter without the heart as it breathes life into a thing And afterwards? Who knows if the love will be enough It doesn’t matter, it’s just stuff The reality only ever was In […]
