The Weight Of A Thousand Suns

by Kevin Junior Ojang Ojong

Laying awake in the early hours of the morning and I can’t help but wonder of things I know to be true and right and good. Or do I really know? Cogito, ergo sum _ I think, therefore I am, or so it goes.

For when my thoughts wake in the place where dreams and sleep collide, my questions are eternal and the void never-ending. Yes, I would give my right eye like the All-father to drink from wisdom’s well.

I think about time and chaos and existence and I have more questions and no answers.

For did time exist before the word itself or was it born from chaos as it is said all things were.

Every star we see in the night sky is centuries old, it’s light just a ghost of a flame that burnt hundreds of years ago.

What If?

by Jason O'Keefe

What if today you decided to be kind? What if we've been taking the power of choice in our life for granted? It is our actions that will write the story of our life and define who we are. Decide your actions. Decide to be the author of your own story.

What if today you stood in front of a mirror and looked yourself in the eyes instead of judging every angle, and dwindling every ounce of your confidence. You are strong and you are resilient, and you can't help that. It's ingrained within us, to persist in the darkness and crawl towards the light. Keep crawling.

What if all the things in this life that broke us, were really pivotal moments of perspective, that have armored us with the empathy necessary to uplift others who so desperately need it? Share your heart freely.

What if waiting for inspiration, or a 'sign' wasn't good enough for us? You already have the spark within you. You already have the courage to try the things that excite and terrify your sensibilities. Fail forward

What if we were all scared? What if we weren't as alone as we sometimes feel? Seek out others who ignite who you want to become. Together we can raise the bar of humanity and understand how similar we are, in spite of the divisions we've constructed. Say hello to that stranger, see others for who they are instead of who we perceive them to be. Hold your integrity to the highest standard.

Thoughts

by Josias Homely

(A Fragment.)
—There is a nameless dread, or rather doubt,
Perhaps a mingling of them both, which falls
Like passing cloud upon the lonely heart,
Which hails the stranger—wheresoe'er he dwells.
The land may be his own dear isle,
The stranger of his kindred and his tongue ;
And Holman journeying in the wilderness,
In helpless darkness, to the Arab tents.
Feels not alone this dark depressing gloom.

My Addiction & I (Sonnet #001)

by Darryl_M Unspecified

Costing me my life, costing me my freedom.
Working through this strife, whenever there’s boredom.
Always aimed for better but now I have shame.
What’s done in secret is poison in discreet.
My heart’s pounding through the race
but now all’s in disgrace.
Gruesome ghosts haunting in a trance,
not sure if I need another chance,
coz all luck’s worth, is just a farce.
Take me out of my misery, coz all that’s done is just a memory.

Hope For Another Day

by Rafiq Pasha

Beneath the shadows of death and fear,
we breathe, with hopes for another day.
Fearful might be the thought of death,
but reminds me, to keep all perils at bay.
Every beginning has an end, also the pandemics
Every being on this earth, someday has to perish.
Strange fear in the air, thoughts in mind,
my confidence, at times it will blemish.

Gedachten

by Mario Odekerken

Ze komen
ongevraagd,
als druppels op een raam
of windvlagen door een open deur.

Soms helder
als ochtendlicht
dat alles zichtbaar maakt
zonder oordeel.

Reverie

by Aditi Hayaran

No one can actually hear the whispers
that echo through the room.
They would understand only if they listened to the reverie you share with the moon.

-Aditi Hayaran (Larkspur)

Scribbles of the Soul

by Aditi Hayaran

When stuck in the storm of thoughts,
Take a pen and write it down
Just anything that can express the pain
Even if it can't heal you completely,
It may reduce the storm to a rain.
When you feel hurt or broken,
Don't keep it unspoken.

-Aditi Hayaran (Larkspur)

Philosophisches Denken

by Mario Odekerken

Gedanken wie Nebel über stillen Feldern,
Fragen ohne Ende wachsen in der Nacht.
Was ist Wahrheit,
wer webt die Grenzen zwischen Traum und Erwachen?

Die Zeit gleitet wie Wasser durch offene Hände,
und Bedeutung flüstert am Rand der Stille.
Jeder Schritt ein Echo von tausend Entscheidungen,
jede Antwort nur ein neuer Anfang.

Philosophical Thinking

by Mario Odekerken

Thoughts like mist over silent fields,
questions without end glow in the night.
What is truth,
who weaves the borders between dream and walking?

Time slides like water though open hands,
and meaning whispers at the edge of silence.
Each step an echo of a thousand choices,
each answer merely a new beginning.
