Anchoring in Stillness to Decode the Unknown

The mind,” I murmured to the quiet room, “is like an overgrown garden, long overdue for tending.” I straightened my posture, sensing the familiar tightness in my shoulders start to unwind, as if they were frayed ropes coming apart. Tonight’s purpose was more than just to relax; I was in pursuit of that delicate, gossamer… Read more

How Travel Literature Kept a Dream Alive

What’s a movie or book that inspired you to travel? Traveling has never been my passion; in fact, I find it rather unappealing, especially after immersing myself in a gripping book or movie. You see, I hold the belief that the allure of distant lands and unfamiliar horizons can often be misleading. It’s an eye-opening… Read more

A Prophetic Nightmare

The velvet dark begins to fray at seams,Where logic falters in the gale of dreams.A thunder rolls upon a phantom track,With no bowed head to guide the spirit back.The rider gallops, wild and unrestrained,A heart let loose, a reason unentrained;Where intellect once held the steady rein,Now pulse and passion gallop through the vein. I stand… Read more

The Habit of Turning Molehills into Mountains

The lens is cracked, the focus pulled too tight,Where mountains form from grains of shifting sand.A kingdom built on shadows in the light,Held by a clenched and shivering, narrow hand. It stalks the halls of triviality,To weigh a word, to measure out a slight,Transforming molehills into tragedyTo feed the hunger of a bruised appetite. A… Read more

One is the beacon, sharp and bright,That pours upon the world its light:The artisan of doubt and grace,Who looks upon the human… Read more
