a small body of water
is enough to remind you
just how alive and connected we are
to everything else
163. daulatabad fort

the passage of time can be mysterious and elusive
five minutes in despair can feel like an eternity
while a whole day in joy and laughter can fly by our eyes
ancient rocks carved hundreds of years ago speak to us
still standing, they form a sacred shelter amid ruins of a bygone era
yet a very present conversation is still carried forth
new feet still step inside
generations upon generations come
with their hopes and dreams
anxieties and fears
our troubles are but a drop in the ocean
to these stones who have seen the ages come and go
they know that the ocean is but a drop in comparison to the infinite universe that is love
