"Hiraeth"~

Somewhere in Edinburgh,
beneath grey skies and rain.
Little cafés glow in gold,
through misty window panes.

Violins drift through alleyways,
old church bells ring.
Fresh coffee and warm bread,
on cold windy evenings.

Books resting by fireplaces,
cozy corners beckon you.
A city that heals the heart,
without even meaning to.

Some souls truly belong,
to places they’ve never known.
To cliffs, clovers and castles,
that somehow feel like home.

Listen here

under the weeping willow

evening gathered in celadon tones
tears circling the roots
like small forgotten moons

the river carried petals
charred leaves
the faint gold of extinguished daylight

I thought how quietly the world departs

moonmilk fading beneath wet bark
seasons vanishing
from the bones of the garden
one luminous thing after another
between one breath
and the next
a white petal loosened itself into the current

silence

neither refusing life
nor grieving the dark water ahead

Written by joni.ta125

Listen here

when the night settles
and the world softens around the edges,
my thoughts drift to you,
steady, warm,
the glow I lean into.

your presence lingers on my skin
like the memory of a touch,
gentle but certain,
a warmth that spreads
from my chest outward.

I close my eyes
and feel you there,
not in the stars above,
but in the quiet heat beneath my ribs,
the place where longing
turns into something tender.

you are my evening star,
but also the warmth
that never leaves.
