We Are Karma

of choices and consequences
Every choice comes with a consequence and when we make them we have to live with them; they become a part of our story – who we are in that moment. Sometimes these choices affect others with whom we traverse life and while those choices may reflect who we are they may not necessarily be…
anticipation
i read her closely, intently savour letters, syllables, words the spaces between i feel each sigh each heartbeat each gasp each smile each tear and i i am enamoured tectonic forces ripped her from me but i see her now on the horizon and i long for the subduction
