Premium Member The Paradox of Time
Its elasticity is in fact a mystery ~ while time is free to flee as quick as lightning sometimes it drags on for lengths of eternity. And for all our hankering and longing that time would move according to our wishes, it's never anything but a fool's machination. While youth is just a memory away ~ the magician waves his wand, and without...

Premium Member Gull Glides
A gull glides slowly Through the cloud-grey sky No sign of hurry, No hint of worry Content thus to fly. Dramatic contrast To the traffic down below Human hurry Human rush As though its sinful To go slow. Maybe somehow In a very little while I’ll let time take Its gentle course And gull-like Peaceful go. ...

Premium Member It didn't start with sunlight, but with that slow, unfamiliar feeling
It didn't start with sunlight, but with that slow, unfamiliar feeling Of being in my own flesh, without the desire to escape into the wind of oblivion, My body wasn't a fortress of strength, but it was mine, Like an ancient temple where I can sit without asking the sky for forgiveness. My hands no longer sought answers in...

Premium Member Deep within me, I feel inertia as a slow dance of stars trapped in their own light
Deep within me, I feel inertia as a slow dance of stars trapped in their own light, A Higgs field enveloping my soul like a heavy cloak of particles and burdened dreams, This terrain of life keeps me from falling into the core of uncertainty, Preserving me from becoming ash, an echo of an existence passed through the...

Premium Member Ignorance is a rhyme without a soul, an art fading into slow oblivion
Ignorance is a rhyme without a soul, an art fading into slow oblivion, like fallen tulips swirling through captive rays of a weary sun, amidst hot sighs tearing through the deafening silence of the evening, and they are more than the burning thorns of a phoenix rose moon, infused in scarlet elixirs of an enchanted dusk weaving its silent...

Slow Is Not Lazy
They say, “Work harder, hustle more,” like your value depends on how fast you move, like success only counts if you're always racing. But what if the race isn’t real? What if going slow is just you learning how to fly? Slow isn’t lazy—it’s thoughtful. It’s like the roots of a strong tree, growing deep and steady, not blowing around like dust. It’s...
