The tracks quiver expectantly A train approaches I step back behind the yellow line This one’s not for me It is filled with dark and ruinous thoughts Anxiety fogs its windows I turn my back deliberately I’ll wait until tomorrow *we have a choice, which thoughts to allow into our heads. I can see the […]
Photos are not treasured in the moment They need time to become priceless a gift to our future selves So we take a moment seemingly quite insignificant Snatch it from the ether Wrap it in chemicals and paper Tuck it away in a box Until along comes a version of us one day Exclaiming “Oh […]
The moon wore rose coloured glasses I watched melt away in the rising sun My breath sighed a foggy gust of hope that happiness would linger on
Productivity Creativity Curly hair Straight What we have, we take for granted What we don’t We Wish We could do better at being *I wish I could spend money on sensible things, but blinds for my home are boring when compared with vintage cameras.

Took a little trip.. There is something magical about motorbike travel. I hadn’t been to the job sites in Surat (a small town about an hour away) for awhile, the weather was perfect, I took the bike.
