others passed you by only seeing the brambles that you hid your heart in but i always saw that you were soft like a dream, like twilight like skin and gypsophila

But the world still spins, and night still turns to day, and the birds still sing in the morning. The frost will thaw, summer will come again, and my demons and ghosts will return to resting. Maybe then, your memory will only be a note in the many songs of my life and maybe, when I hear it, I will think, “that sounds like something I’ve heard before, but I can’t quite place it.”

I knew when I met you, something would change, I just didn’t know how or what. I didn’t know you’d break my heart, I didn’t know that’s what this was called - but if I’m honest, your leaving tore me apart. Every demon inside me rose from their sleep, rearing their heads, and all of my ghosts resumed their haunting.

Remember the night we talked about the pain of grieving someone who is still living? I didn’t consider then, that it’d soon be you. I remember everything, but I wish sometimes I could forget. I wish I could forget that you left, that I cared, or that I still miss you. I wish you’d stop showing up, without showing up. I wish I could convince my heart to quit grieving you.

Some things and moments in life, speak to the deepest core of me, in a language of no words, from beyond any imaginable beyond. || robyn faie

I write so that I can hear my thoughts and get to know my own mind. I share them that I might be heard and perhaps start a conversation. That’s what my life is really, a conversation; with myself, with the world, with life, and often, with silence.

I have found in my observation of, and silent conversations with the cosmos and the countryside, the deepest desire of my soul; it is to take note of the beauty in life, in nature, in “being”; to find it in every crack and crevice and to bring it to light, that it might be seen, that another heart may swell with this same reverence and gratitude, even if only for a moment. || robyn faie

There is within me a force, a whirlwind, of creativity, and another of destruction. I am held back by nothing but myself.

War

War is the condition of Throwing out soldiers like toys Lives being stolen, as a "necessary" casualty to the momentary victory of the ego Leaders clambering to provide a false sense of security in an impermanent world who's very nature is instability Carrying out sacrificial acts stating their objective is to protect beauty, while oblivious to their obliteration of it And fighting fear with fear Effective only at achieving a state of unified terror and suffering "We are stronger. We have more power to destroy. Our guns are bigger so don't mess with us." What are we fighting for? There can be no peace on earth Until there is peace in the mind
