Not gone,
You are just farther,
Far from me.
When it gets darker,
You are just farther.
Hanging in the expanse
Like a crystal.
Staring at your home,
You are not gone.

An extra in the collection.
A collection of infinite
Sea of stars,
And pages of memory.
Some packed in my skull,
Some hanging out
Like a treasury.
Staring at your home,
You are not gone.
In loving memory of my grandma....................
A cognitive shift
Seeing the reality.
A state of awe
With transcendent quality.

When hit by the truth -
An overwhelming emotion.
Appreciation of beauty,
Increased sense of connection.

Shift in self-concept,
It could be transformative.
Sense of fragility
From a different perspective.
We are just tiny and random creatures in this vast expanse of the universe.
That girl in my dream
She has no face - it seems.
No, it's not like that.
Wearing a beautiful dress,
Neither is she faceless,
Nor is she voiceless.
But as soon as I wake up
Her face escapes the walls of my brain,
And her voice flows out like a flowing river,
Every second getting dimmer.
Yet I remember
How beautiful she is,
And how her voice lingers in my heart
Like a true piece of art.
It's like something I know,
But at the same time - don't know.
It happened in one of my dreams and as soon as I woke up , I forgot her face.
Not a dystopian world we are living in.
That's just our imagination and way of thinking.
If the world were dystopian,
We would have been dreaming of utopia to live in.
Maybe it's not the world that's broken, but our view of it.
To forget someone
You need to remember first
And that's the odd thing
Is it possible to forget someone you don't know? And to forget someone you need to know and remember someone. Paradox, isn't it?
Augustus was on his way home beneath the scorching sun when he heard a group of people arguing — loud, hostile, nearly violent.

He already knew what it was about.
Supporters of Julius and supporters of Marcus, locked in yet another pointless clash.

Augustus sighed. He was no ordinary man — he could see what others couldn’t.
He knew Julius and Marcus would never argue like this themselves.
But their followers? They fought as if their gods demanded blood.

Curious, Augustus walked over to hear what the chaos was about.

Cassius: “That pale light in the dark sky — that’s the real sun. Look at those tiny sparkles around it!”

Felix: “Have you lost your mind? Marcus said this—the bright yellow one—is the sun. The other is the moon.”

Cassius: “Ha! Don’t make me laugh. Julius proved the sun is milky white, with dark patches across it. Maybe you should shut your mouth if you don't know anything.”

Lucia: “What are you even saying, Cassius? According to science, the one shining above us right now is the sun. The one you’re talking about is the moon.”

Cassius: “Whose science? Marcus’ science? Julius has his own research too. He said the moon emits light, and the sun just reflects it. So who’s lying now?”

Lucia: “A part of what you said is technically right… but you swapped the names.”

Cassius: “I didn’t swap anything. Marcus did.”

Felix: “Marcus is right. Your Julius is full of lies.”

The argument kept spiraling — logic against loyalty, facts against faith.

Augustus stood still, watching them like a ghost among the living.
Not one of them wanted to understand.
They just wanted to win.

He turned and walked away.
That night, he lay in bed staring at the ceiling, haunted by what he had seen. He was not even sure too - which one's the sun and which one's the moon.

The sun still burned outside.
But no one could agree on what it was anymore.

Crow
no matter the cause
of your tears

whatever the hurt
which bruises your heart

for any terror
that haunts you

it is a grief to me
that you should suffer so
Lenity - Compassion shown by being understanding, patient, sympathetic, and tolerant
