night (Remove filter)
Tonight...
Light breeze,

To forget all your worries,

But then I bought a...

My mind was present in the immensity of their span
I knew their past now
Today
I curtained the new day in my room with the dawn
I breathed in time and dreamed of the...

Moon in the Morning Sky
So out of place
Yet so beautiful
Like the moon
In the morning sky
Losing its shine
And relevance
With the Rising Sun.
