“It is always sad when someone leaves home, unless they are simply going around the corner and will return in a few minutes with ice cream sandwiches.”

of falling leaves

if falling leaves fall like golden chances
as flourishing choices, some inevitably shrivelled
Large leaves and smaller ones, sky orange colours, light touch of raindrops and breath
If all those fall together when the sky can’t be read
what spotted ones are made to touch the ground, wither and rot away
Which ones fall first and are bound to fall in our hands, what coloured leaves go with the wind
Which ones do we choose to catch and what chances do we miss?
“It is always sad when someone leaves home, unless they are simply going around the corner and will return in a few minutes with ice cream sandwiches.”

of simply being

Audacity of leaves that can be orange
blue skies that are smeared with paint, and
cold winds that flow on different paths
And still, sights for sore eyes
“It is always sad when someone leaves home, unless they are simply going around the corner and will return in a few minutes with ice cream sandwiches.”
- Lemony Snicket

of vivid hypotheticals

I’d predict a future if i had a time machine,
Perhaps for feelings of nostalgia or a remedy for impulsiveness
Sounds to cherish, moments that don’t expire, or truths that simmer in suspense
But mostly to travel back in the past and retrieve some
Cookies and marshmallows, in case I predicted them away
“It is always sad when someone leaves home, unless they are simply going around the corner and will return in a few minutes with ice cream sandwiches.”

of waiting on winds
To feel inspired on a tuesday morning
Like deciding to pick up nuts and fruits
With knowledge of its existence
But with a windless place
where motivation is s’posed to sail


of all that is
Let me see all that hides, all that is and
all I’ve missed. will i miss adventure, will i
Ever let go? A wind of thoughts has gone up
into flames, i want to discover all the storms that
are colliding, for nothing fits into puzzles anymore. Don’t let me
miss all there is to feel, shades of seagreen and burgundy
that i’ve never touched with bare hands of my mind. Wrapped in gold
I don’t want to go, but stained with felicity and exploration,
mistakes and ‘told you so’s
Don’t let me say auf wiedersehen to this world
without knowing what it holds
“It is always sad when someone leaves home, unless they are simply going around the corner and will return in a few minutes with ice cream sandwiches.”
