FLORAL FOXES

windy fields of memory





























the moon flowered on our minds, lacing thoughts like threads.
we tried to write them down with our fingertips, but they faded like yellow pennies. we buried them, but they powdered to dust. we snatched at them in the air, but they flew away, like fragile pastry birds. we claimed them as our own, but their name was already written on another's brow.
but still, we tried.
and there was one thought we caught. one, we wrote. one that we buried, and wore like a star on our foreheads.
and that thought made another's heart leap like a deer.
your thoughts are precious. don't ever give up on them

  7. This is my favourite piece of writing of yours, ever.
    It is beyond beautiful. I cannot tell you how truly perfect this is. You are the most wonderful writer, every word from you is so precious, it makes my heart sing.
    'your thoughts are precious. don't ever give up on them ♥' I needed to hear this. So thank you. Thank you.
    The photographs are beautiful, the fourth one is like me sitting on my roof like I told you in my letter (only I cling onto the window frame too). You always post inspirational pictures; the sort that make me want to live.
    It is half two in the morning now, so I must close this comment... sorry it has been such an essay.
    I'm so overjoyed to know you Char xx

    I have read this several times, and each makes me appreciate words more than the last.
    Fragile birds; are we anything but that?
    Tiny bones and feathered hearts, we'll fly someday soon.
    Love, A. xxx
