“On a motorcycle, I learned to let go of the vast uncertainty and focus instead on what is in front of me: the surface of the road and the curve of it, the vehicles in front and behind, the wind and the rain and the wildlife peeking out of the grass. There are times when I struggle to manage every last detail as it whips pat me, to hold on to past and present and future simultaneously, but they're not mine to understand, or control.

“Parisian Endings

Endings share a bond between right and wrong,
Upon every poet who dares to cross a line.

The Parisian sky glows light with blue and orange,
Each hill a line of fortune, unique to every soul.

Words cross the heart I call cœur,
And dawn in the same eternal hues behind her.

By noon, I become the city itself,
Only to return as her passenger,
By walking far enough to lose her.”
― Laura Chouette, The Willow Song

― Kelseyleigh Reber, If I Resist

“Zindagi ke kisse, chand lamhon mein rachay,
Aate hain log, rang bharne, phir chale jaate hain saath chhod ke.

Mulaqatein adhuri si, baatein teri yaadon mein khoyi,
Tanha safar, kyun lagta hai, kahani mein hai kuch khaas baat.

Tooti doriyan, rishton ke silsile mein chhupi hain,
Har musafir le kar aata hai, ek anokhi kahani, phir raahein hi bhatak jaati hain.”
― Huzefa Nalkheda wala

“Notes Left on a Mountain #5

Chilling sighs of pine trees;
Their spines rustling with the breeze,
Filling small paths with echoes of wandering.

Towards the green's end,
Souls are carried up to the mountains,
With their heavy scent guiding the way.

Thin air caresses rough stones;
Dark colours turn into greyish wastelands,
And the still horizon becomes weary.

Reaching up,
Looking down,
Feeling everything
In between the sky and valley.”
― Laura Chouette
