Questions

Somebody shouting, roaring motors are up and about, people are scurrying around, and cicadas make this screeching sound in a desperate attempt to find mates.
It's busy and loud... and lonely like hell.
Inner emptiness is clouding the sky, greying it and making it cry sad tears. 
Life goes about and not everyone is a part of it. We all try of course, to navigate this temperamental river, giving up and coming back for more. 
Driven by hope, despair or fear to be left behind we try and try till the last straw breaks urging to let go.
Does this desperate run has an ounce of a meaning?
Does it help make things better for someone? 
Are we kidding ourselves in a futile attempt to find significance in endless monotony of hours to be lived and done with?

Cicadas are having a break. 
Shiny Moon looks reproachfully down on all of us lost in a sleepless abyss 
still hoping...

    I love this kinda rhetorical questions ! The answers are given and the only way to avoid the "mirror" is to not get caught by blind monotony in life, BEFORE the reason for the question itself appears...

Is it possible to have a nostalgia for times you haven't lived in or being too young to remember?.. Why is it then your heart aches a little at every appearance of certain scenes or sounds of music tune?.. Memories of the past that aren't even yours. How is it even possible to relate this much?.. Is it something imprinted in your genes... Once in a while you long to return there, walk the streets, smell the air, feel the vibe, see people at the peak of their youth... A surreal time travel where anything is possible in an excitement of anticipation. Stepping in, finding your way around, siting in a small cafe on a warm summer afternoon and watching people go about their business, all the while knowing you are just a guest, a visitor, an occasional passerby and roads are open to you in any direction. Walking familiar streets and seeing them in a different light. Listening to an old song in its first release. Watching a movie though knowing the ending and still be surprised. Enj

In the pitch of night, speeding further away Blurry images melt and merge To create an elaborate patchwork and stay Long after they seize to surge Chasing crazy wind, on the edge of nerves Exhausted with dangerous path With uncertain dreams of the times to come  Where the day at a time is enough

Beauty

Beauty is illusive.  Sometimes you need to look for it using all your powers of observation. At times it is unexpectedly striking and edgy, taking your breath away, almost painful to look at.  It's baffling and surprisingly disturbing, leaving long traces of contradicting emotions on its wake.  O n other days it's simple, soft and mellow like an afternoon light on a shortest winter day reassuring you of spring coming eventually and giving you patience to trust and wait. Like pages from an old letter of a dear friend you haven't seen in years, cosy and comforting in its permanent presence.  One thing is certain - it's out there, obvious to the eye or hiding in shadows.  Looking for it is always a discovery of something new that escapes superficial glances.  The inner light it gives to all shapes and colors of all things that surround us. It's like finding something to warm your heart in the darkest of moments, something to hold on to, like a life prese
