wet earth, lingering under winter’s spell, aching with spring’s promise, fills my breath and suddenly

a rainbow

white plum blossoms
the night turns
into morning

Some days aren’t meant for breakthroughs.
They’re meant for quiet corrections: a kinder sentence, a slower breath, a small promise kept. Progress rarely announces itself—most of the time it’s just you, choosing better than yesterday.

something winged
is born in me

Meet at the corner. Red brick, cracked pavement, names faded on the wall. Time moves slowly here. Wrappers gather, memories whisper, that flower still blooms. A spark of colour, a stain of oil, a reminder. Year after year. #vss365

lingering snow
the mountain path
still silent

The flowers
bloomed together.

And suddenly
the world
looked kinder.

@ImMCarvalho Thank you, Maria! 🙂

above the day’s din
a moment of harmony—
the wind through the pines

winter’s end
even the wind
grows tired
