ghosts

you know when you think you've forgotten something? someone? when you're not sure if they're a dream, or a mirage, or someone you just saw on the train once? all you have left are blurry recognitions, faded imprints.
and then suddenly it slams into you, hits you, crystal clear and you can remember everything, agony in joy, heartbreaking euphoric loneliness. everything that people think weren't real, everything you believe happens in front of your eyes, in reaction to the memory. ripples in ice. flames flicker in the hearts and bellies of clouds. tears fill your head but never escape, lost somewhere in your mind.
maybe you were real, but the rest was just a dream.
i am just a danylion seed, blown away by wishes. drifting.

  1. Oh my goodness, this is such a beautiful piece of writing... "agony in joy, heartbreaking euphoric loneliness"... yes, I know this feeling too well. We are both dandelion seeds, dear Grace. It is hard to believe that you are only 14 years old, you are such a talented writer. ♥
