Nirvana - a poem by Zach

Your eyelids expand, today is young
You walk in the forest
Intoxicating gusts of wind constricting you

Silence; music to my mind
Tranquil rage, I don't conform.
Elegant gusts of wind tell you of days before.

Ecstatic bursts of winter
So pleasing; confusing.
Winter projects upon you

Constant shivering; confusion.
You are blind to external,
Now you can see.

The cold grasps your soul.
Embrace it and you live the external.
Forever in debt to your pain...

You are still confused, the cold is rewarding.
You feel the warmth embrace you.
You accept the frost as you live in sun.

You have reached Nirvana, You see with both eyes

Instadventure

Zach: Mum your instagram account makes it look like your whole life is one big adventure!
J: I know!
Zach (giggling uncontrollably): but in reality all you're doing is walking Leo to the same field every day and taking pictures in different kinds of weather!
J (also giggling uncontrollably): I know - it's hilarious. I reckon that's what everyone does!

my sweet squirrel




what it's not ...

I know what this is
I know what it's not
I know what I gave
I know what I got
I gave you my heart
I gave you my soul
while you made an art
out of yes meaning no

Teenage attention span

J: Hey Zach I'm just taking Leo out for a walk, could you turn the oven off in 15 minutes please.
Zach: Ok - 15 minutes, turn oven off. That'll be half past six. I'll set a timer for 15 minutes on my computer
J: Thanks honey

15 minutes later. 


Text from Zach : what was it I was supposed to do when the timer went off?
