Sweeping a tint of radiance over another’s tip-off, 

recognizes they’ve somehow enhanced our own.

Sparkle Core : Twinkle Eye

You’re beautiful.

From your twinkle eye to your sparkle core.

You forget how brilliant you are.

All those spinning twisted thoughts drawing your skies grey.

Picking up your home pieces and moving them farther from your sparkle.

When you're wondering why all the tangled chaos left you with this?

Open your twinkle eye.

Whirlwinds circle hastily inwards, closer and tighter to their hollow.

They can't handle spring, caught uneasy between searing and chilly pressures.

Lightning beats tornados with jolt-bolts, shocks to energize their sparkle core.

Thunder whips and grumble-rumbles when tornados haven't listened.
Still they bully out of control, unable to open their twinkle eye.

They twist most in May when once frozen buds are growing-up, pushing up-right --

becoming stronger than the weight of the world.

Light your sparkle core with your twinkle eye;

no twisting tighter towards the hollow.

You think you have nothing?

You have everything!

Crimson Ruby

Yes, I’m here to see you.

No, I’m not a thief.

This is lust, drop some fear, pick up some trust.
I didn’t come to take it. It’s yours.

Besides, I fall up. Better if you keep it.

Plus, I’ve already got one of those crimson rubies.

It’s cracked like anything else, except somehow not broken.

I’m fond of here. There are put-rights all around this harbour.

Perhaps I’ll get to mend my sail.

Could use some help though.

The seams are rough and raw. Needles, they poke; threads, they choke.

A fine work takes careful patching. We’ve got time.

Destined for our haven! Meanwhile, come closer.

I’m generous. I'll open my chest so you can see it.

Take my hand. Take even my breath.

Just don’t run off with my ruby.

Wait.

How did I end up with yours? I didn't mean for that.

Did I mistake your gem for mine? They’re the same shape and colour.

Maybe I am a crook.

Wait.

Where is mine? Did you steal it in avenge?

This is demeaning!

Since when did two wrongs make a right?

And now where has my sail gone? Do you have that too?

Is that what we get, a bunch of twisted unfamiliar knots in the ropes of our vessel?

Are we really left with less than with what we came?

I’ll be a ghost if I lock my chest. My shadow is anchor enough.

I followed the light of your home.

Or, was it the light of the moon?

Ah, the curse of the crimson ruby!

So that’s how the legend has it.

But we all carry one; there must be a great value.

We can't all be damned from the start.

I believe in all its treasure-- its power, its pleasure.  

I’ve heard you can find blessings in disguise.

Besides, I know that you can’t possibly have mine.

You don't even mean to go near it.

You're just following your own.

How could you hold onto mine when you’re always falling up?

How would you break mine into pieces? It’s already cracked.

Let's put this right.

Why was it I came here? Oh yes, some light.

Its curse must be a dark misunderstanding.

Love is in disguise!

Your ruby has an irresistible charm.

I believe it’s in the way you polish it. 

I love you with all of mine you know.

une rencontre incroyable

Je vous remercie tout simplement et de tout cœur
votre présence, votre tendresse, votre résilience
un souffle frais qui remplit l'âme d'espérance

Comment sais-je que c'était juste incroyable?

Je suis toujours souriante!

source d'énergie

Qui disait qu'aucune source d’énergie n’existe en quantité inépuisable ne disait pas « merci »

Qui disait qu'aucune source d’énergie n’existe en qualité infinie ne parlait pas d’amour.

Catch-22

There you are. Just-in-time!

--Time, for what?

For here. Now, what’s the forecast?

--Ah, hazy.

How will you cope?

--Not sure.

No, the answer is Yes.
--Hey, that's not square.
Who said anything about fair? Truth or dare...

--Why me?
Why not? Ready...Get set...G-
--O! To fly, or not to fly? That is the question.
No, that is the fact. This is your circumstance; face-it.

--Attention crew and passengers, this is your captain speaking. Hold on to your seat!

Right, you’ve got it.

--This is absurd.

Wrong, this is resilience.

--Like a rock?

Like a rubber band.

--If I stretch too far?

Snap back. Keep on your toes. Now jump!

--Like jumping rope?

No, keep your feet on the ground.

--You told me I had to fly.

You do. Now fly, like you mean it!
--This is ridiculous.
Indeed! That's it.
--Thank you.
On standby...
