To travel is to live

What is that feeling when you're driving away from people and they recede on the plain till you see their specks dispersing? - it's the too-huge world vaulting us, and it's good-bye. But we lean forward to the next crazy venture beneath the skies.

Travel far enough, you meet yourself.

Essence

You are a constant thought in my mind. 

It's as if the very essence of you 

Found the cracks in my bones 

And made a home in them.

As if your voice travelled through my skin

And into my blood stream

Directly to my heart. 

Brood

 

It was that kind of weird afternoon,

Terrifically hot, and no cloud out or anything,

And you felt like

you were disappearing 

everytime you crossed a road. 

Panacea

(Me, 2014)

Sometimes when its still,

around and within.

 I feel how the worlds veins are moving,

its blood floating through all those little vessels

I can feel it moving, I am moving

Those moments have secrets hidden,

a bond between you and a higher spirit.

She tastes like nectar and salt. 

Nectar and salt and berries. 

Pollen and stars and hinges. 

She tastes like fairy tales. 

Swan maiden at midnight. 

Cream on the tip of a fox’s tongue. 

She tastes like hope.

tow away

(Nami, Matamata, Hobbiton, New Zealand, 2014)

Tell me about

your passions.

Tell me what

makes you tick.

Tell me all the things

you've discovered 

about yourself

after all these 

years of searching.

Why do you

do the things

you do, and 

how did you

get to be such 

a beautiful creature?

I want to get to know

you so I can

justify this love

I already feel for you.

Stardust

(Russell, 2012, Nami)

The iron in our blood was formed in stars, 

billions of years ago, trillions of miles away.

You are stardust and water.

You are words, books and memories.

You are carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen and

calcium.

You are late nights and early morning, and 

early nights and late mornings.

You are train rides and road trips.

You are the night sky at 3am. 

You and Me

We are made of star stuff.
