“Don’t Weep”

Don’t weep, insects –

Lovers, stars themselves,

Must part.

-Kobayashi Issa

How many times can I watch the sun chase the moon before I find myself within the stars?

A Fallen Petal

Spring has come again, life has grown anew. Dark clouds, heavy with rain, soon to turn the sky blue.

Strong winds shake trees, carrying free petals in the breeze. And as the sun chases the moon, my dreams overflow with flowers in bloom.

My wings were clipped, But I jumped anyway.

Living life in a blur, Always feeling unsure Yet gravity keeps Me from making the leap

[storiesofoko]

Why is it that the living put their comfort and ease before those of the dying?

Dum Spiro, Spero

While I breathe, I hope

Alone in the breeze,

Where light cannot find its way,

Silent dreamers burn.

My love for you will remain until the last dying star burns out.
