Like a line in a book, Foreshadowing, glimpsing beyond this chapter

The books pages are so thin,
And so exposed to the elements

I heard the chimes of my grandfather’s clock
And for a moment, took in my surroundings

Time it seems…
is starting to scare me

Die Blaue Blume

That blue flower gleams in mind
Its luster stark against the golden sands
Standing boldly amongst the famished land.

The flower’s allure snatches me again
With a rush of unyielding visions
My minds eye replete with bewilderment

Recalling the truth of my selfness,
That blue runs in my veins.

A blue flower (German: Blaue Blume) was a central symbol of inspiration for the Romanticism movement. My favorite period. The freedom of fantasy, and the Self in Nature.

Focus

A leaf must endure the storm
Lest it be carried astray
Times like these I feel if I loose focus
I’ll just slip away

The wind is picking up and honestly,
That blue sky is turning grey

… but don't worry
It’s not today

Balance

Life is of Motion
Even water itself is healthiest with movement
But Stillness
will always be necessary for reflection

Reflection can’t be done with a busy stream. Happy Thanksgiving, take some moments to slow down.

Give Thanks

A bow or a smile
Which ever I pursue
Id go on for a while
To try and thank you

Legit, after for ever of not being so down, i randomly got so down last night. Prayed about it the BOOM God just opened doors for me, got me where I needed to be. God is GOOD

Mournful Anger

Marble eyes look out
Peering at the world around
Dismayed at the sorrow

Frustrated for the weary, angry at ourselves.

I am a river

I am a river
My family built and maintains me
My parents the water fall
Pouring their love,
giving it to me in abundance
My brother the gravity
Pulling me forward,
Keeping the water moving
My older sister the path
Watching over me, giving guidance
My younger sister the fish
Keeping me company
Perhaps I can lead her to clearer waters
