In the gray it dwells,
shades of sorrow, hues of joy,
eyes paint what they feel.

Between dark and light,
truth bends to our weary hearts,
colors shift with moods.

A storm clouds the mind,
turning clear skies into ash,
world shaped by our fears.

Yet hope’s golden glow,
softens shadows, clears the haze,
brightens all we see.

Feelings weave the veil,
through which life unfolds its face,
mine lies in between.
Sometimes I don't feel or see colour's rather shades of in-between black and white.

i wake up in a sweat, but i am so cold
i check the clock, its only been an hour
i haven’t slept in such a long time

far, or near
i can always feel it

am i the moth
or am i the flame

Broken, a dove lay.
Crimson blood stains her wings red.
Surly love was the cause.

Vestigium

Vestigium, a Latin word meaning "footprint, trace."

Day hides behind a curtain of white,
So hides the night, the fading night.
The fog that descended before the light
Moves and curls around the lights brightly.
The earth is swallowing the memory of the sky.

With pressed-tight lips and dreary-eyed
I am staring into the obscure day, forming
As the fog leaves a footprint, a trace
On objects and roofs, then slyly drips down.
Its soft coolness covers me, as well.

Where is the context of things barely seen?
An ephemeral blanket closes in on us all.
Unsettling until the day is elucidating sight.
The lights all have halos like a holy thing.
At least it gives each one a certain clarification.

Still, the fog is closing in.

I'm Sorry

She said in the video
"I know you'll go through with it
Because that way
When you look at this video in the future
you can say that at the very least"

"I'm sorry"
I respond

It wasn't fun anymore
Just hard
It was no longer my dream

I didn't stay on the travel team

I'm sorry
Dear child

I'm sorry
I couldn't breathe
Anymore

"I didn't keep going with it"
My heart hurts saying that to her
Looking in her eyes
Makes me want to cry

"I'm sorry"
Going fishing in my drafts

I recorded a video to my future self in like 4th or 5th grade

Played soccer for a while and got pretty good. When I got on the Travel team it was getting really hard though, and my teammates weren't grea, my couch was tough, and my asthma wasn't diagnosed yet so I just felt bad. I didn't love it anymore. It was sad to say that to the hopeful 5th grader who got her anger out with it.

it's the new knives
that can open
the old wounds

Dreamy Night
 Dec 2024 Khoisan
Zeno
The moonlit sky hovers
a dark and empty street
A night submerged with wonder
and stillness

In a blissful voice, the night sang
about a faraway land,
where the pastures danced
and summer was everlasting

Lustrous knights roam the land
and the goblins lurks in the shadow
Like the darkness I lay on
As my bones relish in the calm
of this wonderful night

A rhythm covered the darkness

I hear

The lake wakes up

The labor of light becomes a swan lake

With wings of respect and consideration
Calling the morning
Embracing and embracing the falling autumn
Winter lake
Stars in the winter that have fallen in the forest
Whenever a secret wind blows
On the natural colored fallen leaves
They toss and turn
Flocks of ducks
Wild ducks
Approaching from a corner of the forest
Tilt, tilt
In sync with each other
They go away
....................
The labor of light is shining.
