We cradle the precious things

and place them carefully upon our lap

the miracle of newness is like a sacred prayer

it is hands raised high and heads bowed low

yet always in that moment eyes opened wider

we marvel and bask in the wonder of it all

it is a full moon in a hungry sky

hope’s whisper of a million questions

before the answers will ever reach our lips

a blooming garden at our feet

a child’s hand clutching ours

yet still we walk too fast

as time brushes by.
"She wasn't doing a thing that I could see,
except standing there leaning on the balcony rail,
holding the universe together."
  ~ J. D. Saliner
Is it the longing for the majestic sunset
for the man that can no longer see?
Or is it the ignorance of the colors
for the woman who has never seen?
Is it the ache for the one now left
with only recollection of years
of mother's embrace?
Or is it the emptiness for the orphan
who cannot recall her face?
Is it the loss of the mighty tree
burning as it falls?
Or is it the lack of the tree
that never stood at all?
I have had people say, that of course to have something and then lose it is a greater loss, but to me, isn't it greater to have never had the pleasure to know something at all?
You told me stories
But never lies
You painted the tapestry
Of my mind
Rocking me to sleep in sunshine
Waking me up to see the moon bright
Look my love, look at it
Its a beaming lumen
Just like you
I smiled ever so lovely
Trying to match your face with mine
Hold me in your arms again
Like the paint that clings to art
Don't let me go
Please, dont let go
You changed my world
With your colors
Now I see what it all means
Photo prompt was a hand painted wooden rocking chair with dark blue sky and yellow sunflowers
Today I want to read a few pages, listen to Lana Del Rey, or Janis Joplin, or even Nick Cave…
to enjoy what the bright side of the internet offers, and the falling leaves that I will soon witness.
I will wait  autumn is the sweetest season.
The hot, unpleasant, and exhausting summer has finally come to an end.

it,
is wished hard away,
wished hard it may disappear,
a sigh. a groan, a puzzling moan, anything
even a sudden dreaming scream,
to confirm that our heat still can be all merged,
so that your light sleeper schema cannot be
touched and thus defeated,
so I write an only love poem,
and sign it with tears
of a cursed quiet streaming,
clouded, most unliterary, but
always
with a super silent adoration, of, for


she,
who cannot be disturbed
Birds in migrating flocks and families,
fluttering in black waves,
will fly over our houses,
the dried fields,
and the trees with their sullen faces.
Their sight will lift your mood.
Often we wish to escape the city,
to vanish somewhere, as they do
where it is warm,
where comfort is nearer.
At a waterfall cascading down the cliffs,
women with loosened hair
will circle around,
and like birds,
they will spread their wings.
Simply warmth brings everything to life.
Once upon a time, in a great barnyard that stretched as far as the eye could see, there lived a proud Rooster.
He was not the largest bird, nor the fiercest, but his voice carried farther than any other. At dawn his cry reached every corner of the yard, and all the animals gathered beneath his perch. “See how strong we are when we rise together,” he would crow, and for a while the farm seemed united by his song.

But unity is fragile, like a rainbow after rain. The Rooster, clever and ambitious, feared the return of the chaos that had once torn the barnyard apart. So he built tall fences and dug deep ditches, and he told the hens, the ducks, and even the smallest chicks that only by keeping together under his cry would they remain safe. “The Fox is always watching,” he warned. And indeed, from the shadows beyond the field, a sly Fox watched carefully.

The Fox was patient. He knew he could not leap the fences nor fight the Rooster outright. Instead, he studied the yard. He noticed the ducks quarreled with the hens over feed. He saw the black-feathered chicks kept apart from the white. He heard the older ***** complain that the Rooster’s crow was too loud, while the young whispered that it was not loud enough.

The Fox thought: Why should I attack when the Rooster himself guards them so tightly? Better to let the birds quarrel until they forget who the true enemy is.

So the Fox crept close and whispered through the cracks in the fence. To the hens he murmured, “The ducks steal your grain.” To the ducks he hissed, “The hens think themselves better than you.” To the chicks he cooed, “The Rooster does not care for your color.” And to the Rooster himself he sighed, “You are the only one who can save them — cry louder, build higher fences, or they will turn on you.”

The Rooster, proud and watchful, answered each whisper with louder cries and stricter rules. The barnyard was filled with noise: hens clucking, ducks quacking, chicks chirping, the Rooster crowing. Every bird spoke, but none listened. The rainbow of feathers that once shone together became only two harsh colors — red and blue — each louder and more certain than the other.

And all the while, the Fox sat in the shade of the fence, grinning. He needed no claws nor teeth. His weapon was patience, his victory assured by the birds’ own divisions.



Moral

A farmyard that fears the Fox may build fences and crow loudly, but if it forgets that unity is its true defense, it will be undone not by the Fox’s bite, but by his whispers

A new perspective focused on learning
No longer focused on people that are toxic
That are not there anymore focused on new interactions
The chapter is over never coming back
The failed friendship is in the past
Broken heart from a misleading relationship
Finding peace coped to gain closure
The process to heal stay positive
Avoid negative people who doubt oppose your confidence
Proving them wrong for not believing in your hard work and efforts
