On a Cloud

Thoughts that come across during a calm moment

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

-Why do people represent dreams and wishes with stars one strives to touch? Things in front of our eyes can sometimes be difficult enough to reach.

 

-Keep each sweet rose pressed in a different book page. But never slip a fresh rose in between greyish dried petals. For the ancient scent of memories should never blend with that of the present.

 

-Driving on a video game screen and driving on black silt are very similar. Their steers are not tricky to handle until the streets are crowded with other vehicles.

 

-Do let the sight of glossy blades of grass please your eyes and beg you to sit and sprawl with a leisurly breath but never think about what might crawl across your skin. For fear consumes the spirit and is an omen that just might take hold of its captive.

 

-Do not run away or deride your twin behind the mirror. What a man sees in your eyes is what you see in your own reflection.

 

-The other evening, my father praised the presence of my sibling, for it gives him joy. And when I asked about how he feels when I'm near by he answered: "I feel similar to when it's raining outside the window pane." It never occured to me before, but I was not upset, and I asked if he felt the same way. He said: "I love the rain. And I also fear it."

 

-Would you rather have a dearly loved one tell you to get out of their lives, or would you rather receive news about their sudden death in a car crash?

 

-Happy endings are sugary, cliche, and overrated, so are tragic endings. Now adays, people tend to focus their attention on unfinished stories with confusing last scenes.

 

-How come we are so fascinated with extratarestrials and aliens when the present world we live in is swarming with listless, mysterious people who treat their neighbors as if each is from a distant planet?

"For the ancient scent of memories should never blend with that of the present."

Loved this line...it was surreal.
Your writing always hits base...it's very sublime and well crafted. The wisdom it contains too is astounding.

I loved this piece...alot of truths here.

the world without is so often viewed from the perspective of the world within, oh so through the tinted lenses of colored glasses. so few possess the ability to step outside of their own "little world" and actually LOOK at the world around them and consider how it may look from the viewpoint of another. such beings are leaders and teachers for those of lesser awareness. shouldering the responsibility of one who is more aware is not difficult, but understanding the inability of others to so perceive (even those who are seemingly ones elder or superior) sometimes IS difficult, or saddening. Most around you sleep (with eyes wide open) so embrace your gift, cherish the few true members of this fellowship you encounter, and brace yourself for the task ahead. Our little planet is mostly populated by "the fallen" and their salvage is the lot of we, the responsible. Have a nice day ;-)

What you said about society is so true.
And I'm sorry your dad said that about you.

I agree with you.
