little bird

I would be the little yellow bird.

The one who moved into the birdhouse this spring.

Because I think she is like me.

She is shy.

A bit of a loner.

She rarely shows herself.

She doesn’t want to impose.

And she just knows.

Instinctively.

Just like she knew her home.

The one I placed 4 years ago.

And no one came.

No one, but she.

Because she knew.

Little bird, you are me.

And I am you.

ASTRAL

Sometimes I wonder

what lies yonder-

in the afterlife,

will there be any strife?

A different community

of beings living in unity~

o, how serene-

a glorious scene!

Sometimes I wonder

and ponder-

what happens after death

when we take our last breath??

The body decays,

but the soul prevails~

Like an everlasting star

a part of a place that feels so far.

I do hope

That maybe there’s a rope~

which I can reach,

and use as a breach-

pull myself into a new realm

while wearing a helm,

to a place that has a grand hall

one which looks Astral.

Keep Me Here

Drown me in your mouth

Smother me in your lungs

Lock me up beneath your rib cage

But please don’t lose me in your eyes

In the beginning the Universe was created.

This had made many people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move.

Psychology Passions

"The word psyche means two things in Greek, his aunt said. Two very different but interesting things. Butterfly and soul. But when you stop and think about it carefully, butterfly and soul aren’t so different, after all, are they? A butterfly starts out as a caterpillar, an ugly sort of earthbound, wormy nothing, and then one day the caterpillar builds a cocoon, and after a certain amount of time the cocoon opens and out comes the butterfly, the most beautiful creature in the world. That’s what happens to souls as well, Archie. They struggle in the depths of darkness and ignorance, they suffer through trials and misfortunes, and bit by bit they become purified by those sufferings, strengthened by the hard things that happen to them, and one day, if the soul in question is a worthy soul, it will break out of its cocoon and soar through the air like a magnificent butterfly."

*Quote from "4,3,2,1" by Paul Auster (2017)

A/N - I read this quote whilst I was deciding a future academic career, and ever since then, it truly describes my passion leading me to become a Psychology student!
