2016

Touch. Touch the invisible void, a frosted silence clouding your thoughts and watch it unwrap, bending ever so slightly like a leaf on the first drop of rain; Watch it unwrap, and embrace the memories that escape. The past year was a supernova. An assemblage of emotions, and an accumulation of nature’s wrath. And the past year exploded in the most beautiful way Scattering it’s little fragments every other way Towards the billion stars that make up the universe Towards the billion stars that make up this planet. These little fragments we succinctly call ‘life’ hit us hard, Love, laughter, pain, heartbreak, the yin and the yang. We endured it all. You endured it all. So I ask you, touch. Touch the invisible void, And watch it unwrap. Embrace your memories that escape And let them brush your body And like a sculptor working on his masterpiece Let them shape you into a better “you”. Embrace the fresh cuts on your skin And let them glow in the warmth of your dreams. A new year has now dawned upon us, So let it show you the path to your dreams. Follow the many trails it has laid out Follow them through the velvet and the thorns Follow them to the end Because perseverance you see, Is the canny little elf that sees you reach the end. So I implore you again, Touch. And embrace. Because it’s when you lie down in the night, and watch the stars shining down Do you realise how beautiful life can be even with the lights out. Peace.
