Never give up! Put in the hard work and efforts to achieve your ambitions and goals!


fiery flashing bolts
lit up the sky
to the caresses of the wind,
to the scratches of the rake.

a gentle breeze creeped
within the crevices yet not covered
by the sounds of its soothing strokes
by the flames of its violent protest

I stood apart from the crowd,
clutching a fallen leaf -
it detached from its buoyant mast
I detached from my distant past
