Delusions

It feels unreal to be walking in clouds, and feeling the ground beneath your feet. Soon enough, I will reach the Sun, Moon and Stars and use their influence on earth to project my views.

Strangers

https://open.spotify.com/episode/3IGumfzltlaOsasyDZLMPz?si=36687869213147a4 Strangers not so strange ….they share a special bond with me. They look at me with compassion, seem to understand my agony and pour out theirs. I dress in their stories patterned and purple as night, and life is not the same again. I’m not alone, nor am I unique. Stories seem to merge … Continue reading Strangers
