The Flutist's Cairn


I don't see the hills as much as I'd like to. 
A late afternoon by the cairn amongst the devotees,
A quiet weekend with the green of the waters and the blue of the sky 
I can't think of anything else I need to get by

I don't see the rivulet as much as I'd love to
A breezy aprรจs midi on the pebbles amongst the believers,
Peacocks cooing across the waters and the flutist playing his melody 
Come, let's sit together and let the whole world be. ๐Ÿž️

Laconic moments


When the days seem numbered 
Every second resembles precious nectar.
You wish you could bathe in it 
Head to toe, arm to ankle, nose to knee
Drench down and drown in it. 
When the clock counts down 
When the sun sets faster than it rises 
When the moon is all we have 
Let's count the stars through the night 
Let's catch fleeting clouds & fleeing birds
Let's cuddle inside the frozen snow castle 
Play hide & seek with father time 
When our moments seem compendious
And every wink resembles a lost eternity
Let's whisk away together 
Far up in the cold mountain air. ๐Ÿ”️

The Gruesome & Glorious

It's these nights, 
These glorious exasperating hours 
That bring out the best of us.

It's these days,
These gruesome beautiful minutes 
That teach us the best of lessons. ๐ŸŒ„ 

Pour toujours

Here - 
Take my heart 
Take a piece 
Take it whole 
Just take it. 
Crystal & pristine
Of shatter-full glass
It's all yours,
Eternally.

All I ask for 
Is that you stay
By my side
Forever more. 
So here - 
Take mon coeur
Unabridged & complete
Pour toujours. ๐Ÿ’•
