The sky spills liquid gold across the fields,
and every blade of grass hums a bright song,
ripples of honey laughter swim through the air,
as the trees burst into wild, kaleidoscopic blooms.

Clouds skip like stones across a sapphire lake,
the wind flutes silver melodies through the valley,
and the mountains wear crowns of glittering flame,
grinning, howling, singing at the top of their lungs.

The rivers are ribbons of melted stars,
the earth quivers with candy-colored sparks,
and hearts—oh, hearts!—
they pop like fireworks in a velvet sky,
sending ripples of giggling stardust everywhere.

Every breath tastes of spun sugar and sunlight,
every blink unwraps a prism of newborn wonder,
and my soul—my soul!—
is a thousand kites soaring, shrieking, bursting,
carried far beyond the hills of happiness.
Kanchan 6d
Who are you? I ask

every time you pass by,

as I try my best to deny

that there is a version of you

whom I can never identify.

I think it will always remain a mystery to me,

regardless of how much time passes by.

Does it matter? U ask

every time i try to know more about you

as if no one asked you this before

as if it was very out of the blue

it makes me feel stupid

but i cannot help but wonder

why are you so restricted?

what kind of situations were u put under?

it is none of my business

i know that very well

but are u never curious?

about what people don't tell?
You think things I won’t
You think things I shouldn’t
You think things I wouldn’t
You need things I couldn’t
You need things I’ve hidden  
You read things I’d never
You love things whenever
You love things forever
You kiss things redder
You trust things better
You cut things deeper
You make things greater
You do things incredible
You fix things broken
You help things grow
You think things slow
You risk things failing
You destroy things on purpose
You make things difficult
You hurt things I care about
You make things bleed
You borrow things then steal
You say things and retreat
You **** things and weep
You feel things
You write things are empty
You look things in the eyes
You do things to pass the time
You love things at times
You hate things otherwise
You treat things gently
You eat things heavily
You feel things
You love things
You think things
You live things
You move things forward
You hold things back
You let things go
You let things happen
You try things out

Sit here on this rocky cliff precipice,
Listening to this American woman play with this French orchestra,
Directed by an Italian man,
Jamming out to scraps that were written by a Jewish man in '67,
Making such a beautiful sound wave that bowls me over in it's benediction,
Over and Over,
And Over again,
Carry me to sea and drown me again.
Rhiannon Giddens with the L'Orchestre Symphonique De Bretagne- Spanish Mary ( Check out how this song got made, it's quite a cool tale)

Dawn stretches golden over Guanabara Bay,
sugarloaf rising like a dream in stone.
Waves kiss the shore in samba rhythms—
each tide a whisper from the heart of Brazil.

Birdsong rains from the canopy,
scarlet macaws slicing morning light like brushstrokes.
The rainforest exhales its perfume—
a living mural swaying in greens and golds.

Cobblestone streets hum beneath bare feet,
colors bursting from murals and music.
The air tastes of mango and maracujá,
joy lingers in every sun-soaked laugh.

Ipanema gleams like a string of pearls,
bodies bronzed and basking in euphoria.
Even the breeze dances—
flirting with palms, curling through café songs.

From Lapa’s arches to Christ’s open arms,
the city holds you—wide-eyed, blooming.
And oh, to see Rio not just with eyes
but with your whole soul alight.
Rio de Janeiro

My family moved houses when I was young.
I was scared to start in the new school.
You were the first person to care about me
and I didn’t feel so lonely when I was with you.

You moved away when I was young.
You use to call and so did I.
We use to write and tell each other of our adventures all the time.

Then the phone stopped ringing.
And the letters stopped filling up the letterbox.

I never knew what happened to you…
I guess that’s what growing up does to kids like me and you.
To an old friend. I hope you’ve had a wonderful life.

Let the noise be drowned
Let the noise be drowned
Let every dream inside of me find it's way home
And slip easily,
Gently towards this world
Let me hold onto the wonder
Let me point to the sky
As my grandmother’s head tilts up
“See the moon”
“See the moon”
Searching for glimmers and holding onto child like wonder.
It sounds insane how
Just one stroke
In a moment, becomes
A refined drawing.
How a single experience
Inspires a story.
How a simple tune makes
Up a catchy song.
How a blotch of colors
Form a beauteous painting.
How a person is able
To create such wonders.

In the afternoon
Below a grey blue sky
I hear the chatter
Of the magpies.
And they talk in bird talk
In words unknown to me
As they bob their little heads
By the amaltas tree.
Glad I am to hear them
I listen carefully
Happy to be in their -
wondrous company
