It’s been ages since I last put pen to paper.

There was a time when I yearned to shout to the world, letting my raw emotions seep through the keys and find their way into the wild.

There was a time when I was still innocent, passionate, and fearless, unafraid to lay my heart bare before the world.

What has truly changed?

I have tried and rushed; I have run and stumbled; I have bled. I’ve experienced enough. I have been rendered speechless; I have been hushed into stillness. Thousands of words have fallen into wordlessness. Myriad thoughts have dissolved into silence.

The Earth is still orbiting; the birds are singing. The sun is shining; the world moves on.

Words turn into seeds, sown deep into the soil, waiting for the moment to sprout.

A day will dawn, when it finds itself captured by a pair of crystal-clear, inquisitive eyes.
