Kartikeya Jain Feb 2018

Every once in a while
I feel the need
to embrace silence
not to rid myself of the world
but to remind myself
I exist.

- Sometimes, the noise makes me feel lost.

Closer to home.

"In all that
you left behind,
you only came
closer to home.
you only came
closer to yourself."

Be your own home.

"Even in your most
vulnerable moments,
be your own home
be your own moon."

Go where the heart goes.

"Even in your most
vulnerable moments,
do what your heart wants,
go where the heart goes."

Dive in the ocean

"And yet in our
most vulnerable moments
we take a dive
in the same ocean
that once drowned us."

Her gentle, icy fingers

"And she would run her
gentle, icy fingers
through my hair
like frosty wind
would caress me
on cold winter mornings."

Her ocean like hair

"And her hair
were like the ocean
that fell onto me
like strong wind tides
and turned me into salt."
