Living in a constant paradox, begging to be held and released by gravity, to be grounded and free. But my feet pressed against the earth yearn for the clouds above my fingertips adrift whispering I don’t want to be at the mercy of gravity.

RAHA ARAZLet your memories fall into place, you don’t have to carry all of them at once.
RAHA ARAZFor in the wild I feel the safest where the thorns of the invisible hand can not prick me.
RAHA ARAZThough it may be the season I’m not quite in bloom but slowly unfolding to where I may accept the sun and someday bloom.
RAHA ARAZI remember so little that I can’t forget enough.
RAHA ARAZFor time does nothing for you if you do nothing with it.
RAHA ARAZWhy must your suffering cause my peace and my peace your suffering?
RAHA ARAZFor him, my body was for him.
RAHA ARAZIf ever happiness happens to forget you even a little bit, never completely forget about it.
RAHA ARAZHow can I not love you from a distance when you breathe the same way I do, Have the same needs I do? Search for the same purpose and meaning that I do ? Why must there be me over here and you over there that do not live in the same world?
RAHA ARAZThey are simple creatures they see right through you and if by chance they miss you, they will make you believe you were never there.
RAHA ARAZThere is no sunrise as beautiful as the one where you realize you are worth a million suns.
RAHA ARAZWhy are we told to be afraid to hurt? Why do we avoid, run and hide? Cover up inside with shields of armor, Our shins, and elbows made of pads of plastic; We are not made of glass and tattered bits, It’s not weakness when our strength builds us to last.
RAHA ARAZHave you ever heard silence? How do you hear the silence? You don’t, you feel it. And they stared at the silence between them.
RAHA ARAZWhere do I stand when neither side recognizes me as one of them.
RAHA ARAZIt is not thanks to you but in spite of you that we have just one day to look down from the top. The mountains we move should have never been there.
RAHA ARAZ
