Nature’s Quiet Conversation 🐛🍃
“You have eaten all my leaves,” the bitter-leafed vine cried. “I was hungry. They weren’t very tasty, though,” said the caterpillar. “I know. But they were my leaves. I loved them,” the vine lamented. The caterpillar was silent for a moment. Then, with a quiet sigh, it said, “Oh, I’m very sorry. Your leaves will […]
The Diary of a Tree
I am a tree standing in the middle of nowhere, Facing the sun, the moon, the stars, and the air. The day before yesterday, I remember it was spring— I was swaddled in pastels and sweet scents, Stories to tell and songs to sing. Yesterday was the prime of summer: I gleamed green beneath a […]
An Ode to the Dandelions
The world branded her a useless weed, Yet still, she grew, embracing her creed. With petals bright and spirit bold, She held a magic yet untold. Through the rocks, she’d find her way, Knowing that one day, she’d brighten the day. For in her heart, a wish would ignite, A spark of hope shining through […]
Returning Home
In the end, we all return home. That’s what he taught us. Santiago dreamed of a treasure buried at the pyramids. Motivated by this dream, he left his flock, his home, and his family to embark on a quest. Along the way, he met a king, worked in a crystal shop, crossed the desert, met […]
The Spider’s Decoy 🕷️🕸️
He toiled through the night to set the stage, To make the guests feel truly amazed. In the moon’s glow and with dew’s embrace, He crafted a scene that would leave them dazed. He chose the finest branch from a juniper tree, Adorned with the bluest berries to see. With threads of silver, he wove […]
Rain ☔
A ripple spread across the florist’s basin, Shattering the sparkling sky’s bright glow. His eyes, once lifted toward the blue horizon, Were met instead by clouds that gathered low. The heat was cooled, the light grew dim, The wind swept all the fallen leaves. The clouds amassed with thunder’s hymn, As lightning struck the restless […]
Where Time Stands Still ⏳
We all are time travellers cruising towards an illusory future, leaving little pieces of ourselves in the past as we go. Then, one day, we realise that we have left every bit of ourselves in the past while the future still stretches towards eternity. We become just an emotional, material, and existential emptiness. From that […]
What If
What if I had taken the other road, Leading me to a different place? What if I’d made another choice, That might have brought me peace and grace? What if I were born in another land, With different-coloured eyes and skin? What if I had another family, With a different set of kith and kin? […]
Thus Spoke the Wind
Look at the trees. They stand in silence: blooming in the spring, lush and happy in the summer, vibrant in the autumn, and lonely and vulnerable in the winter. Yet their roots sip from the depths of the earth, and their branches gaze up at the endless skies, whether azure or brumous. From time to […]
Petals and Wings
A blue glassy tiger fallen head over heels With a red sunflower hidden among leaves Make haste pretty thing before the sulky sky weeps Live the best moment while the rain clouds peep A monochrome art in the flamboyant spring The splash of color and joy they bring A sight to behold, even the heavens […]
