“my universe starts and ends
in my own head
it is dominated by darkness and shadows
but filled with rare glowing colors
that are only visible
to eyes that truly wish to see
it is sprinkled with bright thoughts
that shimmer and spark like stars
my faith is made of flames
burning to give life
my dreams are planets
my ideas circling around them as moons
constantly changing and turning
coming together and drifting apart
to make things happen
even with my worries flying around
destructively like meteors
and these fears of mine
that grow into black holes
with such disastrous abilities
to suck me in
and bend my very reality
so my mind is a mystery
even i am not sure exactly
how it works
but i can promise you this
there is no place quite like it”
― k.tolnoe, The Moon

“time is the breath
of the universe
it knows what has been
and what will be
so instead of blaming it
and wishing for a different
hour - day - month - or year
instead of forcing things
by speeding them up
or slowing them down
try to have faith
that everything happens
when it should
for there is always a reason
even if it's one
we'll never know”
― k.tolnoe, The Moon

the sun must go down
and then comes the night
but there is no reason to hide
just yet
for some of us are made for this
the soft moonlight
the shimmering stars
and the tar black night sky
some of us need to break
before we can unfold
some of us must cry
to water our roots
some flowers need the darkness
to bloom
and create beauty
in the sorrow and the gloom
so don't shy away from the night
for this may be your time
to shine”
― k.tolnoe, The Moon
