grains

Bismillah..

"To see the world in a grain of sand, 
and to see heaven in a wildflower, 
hold infinity in the palm of your hands, 
and eternity in an hour."
-William Blake





a chalkboard suddenly crosses my mind
dim sounds of footsteps and synchronized voices
times passed away just by looking at the clouds
wondering if its the sky or the ground that moves

all these raw things made my childhood memories
I wondered what made the new generation
what made the childhood of people across the world

when some things are too real
when you don't have that much to dream about
.
.


or when there's too much dreaming
it becomes a delusion
a made-up world
.
.



.
.
... a child's world is so small
that it's so big
that it's so pure, it would not lie
despite the princess frock or plastic toys
no matter how grown-ups like to create a child-like living for their kids
inside, the hearts a pure faith
of a world quite mysterious in its own way
of raw belief that everything would work out

"even if you're on the playground slide with your head down"
-Erfan
