why don't people look out of airplane windows more often?

it's one of those nights. i sense it. i feel it.
it's one of those nights that remind you that you're not numb.
and you refuse to be numb.

love surpasses time. it possesses no qualms.
only a torch, which will lighten your path, to truth.
can't you see, we are crumbs of this universe.
but each crumb already contains a universe of its own...

nimble limbs, luminous skin.
a tangled affair of sensual peaks.
the spirit soars high and dwells above clouds.
the soul dives deep within and finds answers.
we are free, free to live, free to love in nirvana.
youth blesses us with her endowments.
society is still on his coffee break.

spring has arrived. shake off those flakes.
can you feel the cool evening breeze lightly glaze your shoulders?
the universe has its gifts for you hidden behind bushes.
now put on your velvet hat, and stumble upon some.
fancy being a little adventurous tonight?

memories, bits and pieces of you left behind.
in unfinished moments, parks late at night, broken chocolate bars.
in north gower street, cartwright gardens, and various flats spread out across london.
in mcmath's dark room, 16-year-old KK misdemeanors, bellerbys' spring in greenwich.
in harvard's quad with all its quirks, hot spanish nights, berlin's east side gallery day.
in times square new york city, nouvelle vague's gig, giant hollow tree in hampstead heath.
in trains bound for budapest, record store in vienna, prague zoo's sunday special.
in all of our random encounters, our cycle ride to nowhere, just mingling and singing.
the songs of our youth, our canvas which has no boundaries, no fears...

be brave. change is essential to your personal growth on this very precious journey.
find ways to reinvent yourself. ever transforming, ever transcending.
adventures await, unlocked doors appeal.
embrace every single moment in its own entirety.
you never know what's around the corner.

let the grandeur of it all dazzle you.
bask in its light; drown in its pit.
do not feel ashamed, for humans are sinners by default.
it allows room for forgiveness, for tolerance.
and that's perhaps the most beautiful faculty that we, as humans,
hold - compassion.

tonight is a good night.

I don't give poetry much thought but I liked the first half of that 😌

Beautiful post.

Because its too far down is my immediate reaction to this post! And that was before I opened it.
But your message "Find ways to reinvent yourself" I find most meaningful. Its a habit that allows you to sample more than one life in your time here.

Your poetry always takes me on a beautiful journey and I needed this today. So, thank you :0

Nice to meet

That was very heartfelt poetry. Anytime I am on a plane I sure hope I get a window seat. It is so beautiful to look at the palace in the sky.

yeah i always love to do that... it's amazing !

Very nicely written. Good job!

Wow! I truly like your post @honeybee.
