mountain (Remove filter)
A bird, mountain and sky
It's a beauty to see a bird bouncing from the fields
to take a flight with its mighty wings...
One of them can fly just over the mountain,

The other one has the power to kiss the sky,
and fetch the pearls of heaven...
Their King let's the former to exploit its mightiest might,
and the latter is left to fate with paralysed wings...

I have always been

Before they knew me
I was here
When this land was fashioned around my soul

A fine layer of cloud makes the ground seem hazy and non distinct like a fading memory you want to remember.
Ever so slowly a flock of birds fly past below skirting the...

she
She came to me out of the sky from the blue,
she is a high altitude cloud Cirrus maiden.
She found me on the mountaintop,
our worlds met as one! ...

OCEAN PLANE
OCEAN PLANE
Great, warm wet ocean rolling, curving, boiling cauldron.
Little grains of sand – brown, white, clear, black.
Thrown together onto the beach.
A small layer, a medium layer, a deep layer compressed into rock.
Hundreds of feet thick. Exposed to elements, rain, cold, wind, snow.
No warm carboniferous sun here. Just a windy plateau of a rock face.
