The Muruku Murmurations

This piece was written for a HitRECord contribution based on this image . Record can be found here . It was written with the intention to capture the stillness of being when you are one with your surroundings and present with nature. Once in a day of a time where the world halted in its revolve Every living thing stood still, freeze-framed in this breath A streaming gust of wind that flows through the trees, whistle as it weaves through the branches Rustles the abundant crisp, lush leaves, every single one creating a symphony in harmony. This breath of sounds seep through my being Beat my eardrums to its rhythm, fills the spirals of my cochlea, flowing sound waves flood every crevasse of my brain synching my heart to beat as one with it. A surfing surge of peace soaks my bloodstream Turning any turmoil to green, not the colour of envy but tranquility Lifting my ribcage to float in the oxygen-filled air Feet taking root in the ground as the trees Being, existing and living as though my...

One surprising thing that happened on my solo trip to Australia last year was meeting a soul of a parallel journey, we had many dispositions that brought us to where we are and designed our perspective on life. I was a convergence that would be a once of a lifetime occurance. Remarkable meets fascinating A journey of two souls in parallel Making decisions that bend the nature of their paths Causing it to coincide with the ways of another Constantly flowing forward.   Rivers from the mountain drifting its way in its course Returning to its route and alternating in between logic and rationale Sliding through intersections of intense emotions Weaving amongst serendipitous, frivolous memories Falling into natural cascades formed over thousands of years of formations.   Where fresh becomes salt What was bland finds tastes in life? Flavours of insignificant minerals that come together to create an ocean of messianic zeal A solution to the desires of longing and wanting A desire that...

In the month of April 2020, Makhluk Seni kicked off #HomegrownMakhlukSenis with 10 days of prompts, mindfulness activities and goals to help us get through the isolation. another stream of consciousness to wrap up the first half of 2020, after 6 months of being harassed by my ex, the psychosis and medication and finding footing to what is supposed to be my next phase forward, I really didn't know what to do anymore with myself with the countless resets. This project has helped and working with the team on the prompts, mindfulness videos and putting together the -ebook, it has made 2020 fruitful. I hate staying and being a victim of any of my circumstances, this is how I fight my own battles that I choose to fight. Day 10 Water you doing? A final piece to tie the bouquet,⠀ After days of crafting away.⠀ Now that we’re at the end,⠀ Which wounds are left to mend?⠀ ⠀ Dear Makhluk Seni,⠀w e ask you:⠀ We water our plants to keep them alive,⠀ How do we water ourselves to do the same? #qua...

I was intending to write a short piece with this one, I was talking to a friend about philosophy and perspectives. Partially a stream of consciousness of random words that turned out this way after some editing.   Brimstone, Chasing time, Limestone Written rhymes.   Sulphur lines Keeping safe Metamorphosis Cocoon enclave.   Time genesis Rising place Passion realist Growing space.   Truthful mind Steady pace Serpent bone Emerging grace.   - Swit Marie 0313H 24th July 2019 TMM HQ

Dreaming in Neptune's song A voice where spaceships belong Weaving its throttle behind strong willed hands that tap its fingers along with bobbleheads of astronauts. Discovering the mind field of debris Streamlines of interstellar realities Mixed into multiple parallel galaxies Lay...

I've been writing trying to incorporate nature in my pieces and this one was inspired by a beat created by Netuno . It had a very Mario vibe to it and reminded me of the tugs and toils of him and Princess Peach. I had just watched How to Train Your Dragon recently and imagined dragons in soaring and roaming in the lands of Sarawak. This piece was adapted for a HitRECord submission Prompts from  Makhluk Seni  for WELP, a movement to 'weaponise' love in all forms of expression. Prompts were released throughout the month of February for writers to submit any short form of writing. Prompt 24: So Sit Down Do you have a story to tell?  So sit down.  Overwhelmed by ghosts from the past? Duduk kejap.  Sit. Down. Breathe. Write. Tell us Yours through the click clacks of your keyboard and the slow drying of ink on parchment as you recollect your stories of Love. #PACT2 #WELPPACT (A mashup of Sarawak, Mario and How To Train Your Dragon) Waking up to the clouds embracing t...

Prompts were released throughout the month of February for writers to submit any short form of writing. This piece is a challenge to incorporate more natural elements and marrying them with the different modes of functionality that I used to have before I crossed over to being challenged mentally and the feeling of being disabled. Prompt 6 : Would my younger self have We change. That's a fact. Remember when you hated veggies, or decided to change uni courses, or when your pet left this Earth Change is unavoidable, but sometimes you think about the what if's. So what are your what if's? Treat it like a love letter to yourself #WELPPACT   #PACT2 A fleet of storks glazed the night sky so smoothly Remember that state of flight Caramel sparrows murmuring in the clouds Remember that phase of life Majestic albatross flying like it owns the sky Remem...
