Illusory Blue Sky
Like a nameless flower
opening in an ordinary day,
the world —
even now —
smiles, gently.
You follow what you long for,
toward something
beyond the sea,
holding on
to the shadow of a sign —
the day it slipped
into a mirage.
The sky collapses —
two moons hanging there.
and memories
bleeding softly
into your white shirt.
Through a quiet grove at night,
a hush of wind
feels like home.
With a quiet ache,
you keep swimming,
deep beneath the sea.
Far away,
a mountain rises —
like ruins
of something
unknown.
A story of this blue Earth,
sealed in nostalgia.
If I read it to you,
maybe — just a little —
the sound of time
will soften.
The sorrow stars carry —
one day,
you may feel it too.
And if the sky, somehow,
is not the same as before,
then —
that might be
your moment.
A white universe,
holding the keys of time.
If I read it to you,
maybe — just a little —
you may begin to sense…
the underlying truth.

What you carry —
the stars have known it
all along.
Leaves of memory
released into the cosmos
are already
on their way back.
Too slow,
and time comes to a halt.
Too fast,
and things vanish from sight.
Too faint,
and that is why it carries.
Too high,
and sound finds its way.
Without words,
we understand.
Calculations —
have nothing to do with it.
Emotional trace:
These words came to me at night,
in a moment touched by nostalgia.
I added just a hint of spice.
Beyond words, beyond numbers,
something is still there…
What you once thought was an illusion —
was it truly an illusion?
Or was it something
you simply hadn’t yet learned
how to hold?
This piece drifts between the visible and the unseen,
tracing the subtle space
between everyday life
and the vastness of the universe.
I am also currently writing a romance novel. 📖
