Astha Shri

“Do not turn me
into
restless waters

if you cannot promise
to be my stream.”
― Sanober Khan

“If the boy who draws
lets you look over his shoulder.
If the poet
smiles
and shows you her words.
If the girl who sings for the shower only,
hums a song
in front of you.
Know that you’re no longer a person
but the air
and dust
that fills their lungs.
When the world perishes,
and all things cease to exist,
you’ll remain inside an ink stain,
a paint brush,
a song.

Poem N. 8”

“To me, reading through old letters and journals is like treasure hunting. Somewhere in those faded, handwritten lines there is a story that has been packed away in a dusty old box for years.”
― Sara Sheridan

“Exist with me. We'd do so beautifully.”
― Alaska Gold, Growing Light
