In her womb life started In her eyes pain ended Lines of her life story, and all the things she has faced, permanently etched on her face, a sage, that kept getting wiser with age… An antique, with colours that didn’t fade.

The pegasus purpose

dessert flower
moving through strange places, far away…. from home…Only ever seeing tired looks on strangers faces. stuck in a sand dune, my heart sang a sad tune. Then she spoke to me, and like a beam of light from the cresent moon; without having any intention to, she shed her light on my path… Just whenContinue reading “dessert flower”
