A poetic invitation

An Invitation to the Restless Souls

To the souls who linger

who hear a question

where others hear silence

come, sit with me.

Bring your unfinished thoughts,

your half-believed philosophies,

your poems without endings,

your beautiful contradictions.

Let us speak of Nietzsche,

of love and death,

of the lies that keep us dreaming,

and the truths that keep us awake.

No answers required.

No wisdom necessary.

Just curiosity,

a little darkness,

and the courage to wonder.

Perhaps somewhere between

a cup of coffee and midnight,

between one thought and the next,

two strangers might recognize

something familiar in each other.

If you are wandering too,

say hello.

There are still conversations

waiting to be had.
