Magpie Tales: Losing Inner Weight



The endless blank pages stir in my heart to fill them. I cut my heart  open and let the blood seep. 

Nothing
Nothing

I listen so hard and drown all the other voices away, as I let my breathing go in sync with the song. But I can no longer get to the heart of it, I can no longer feel it

Nothing
Nothing

Looking at my reflection on water, I shout, "Who are you?" and the water vibrates. I let my hands get to the depth of the reflection,  and I find it

Everything
Everything

  9. Interesting -- reminds me of the question, where do you get your inspiration? Answer -- Just open a vein and let it bleed onto the page.

  12. Very well done Maha, how often we forget how far we are from ourselves....this is a nice reminder. What we tend to look for is most of the time the thing that is so close to us, is'nt it!
