While I wait,For whenever that is, For when that time comes,And you come along,Finally!I’d be finding myself,Learning who I am and what I am destined to be.I’d be finding my happiness.I’d be living my best life doing those things I love.While I wait,I am not going to sit outside looking out to the fields for…… Continue reading While I Wait

In Tune
The rhythm of the windThe sound of the heart beating The movement of the leaves The birds chirping.The butterflies in my belly,The nausea, the thick choke on my chest, that feeling, like you just swallowed a rock.The music is in my head,The lyrics are on my lips The tune my feet remember The beat my…… Continue reading In Tune

Ad Infinitum
Ad Infinitumno one can hold a candle to your fire, a knife to your sword, your whisper is like an earthquake in the depth of high seas, on land it is like a horrifying mudslide, at the sound of your voice beings quiver, none can question your might, none can question your power, none can…… Continue reading Ad Infinitum

Quiet Library
Quiet library,Long itinerary,but I may leave before those who came before me, The loud silence calms me, The occasional muffled noises let me know this can’t be a cemeteryThe sound of the music coming from the earphones of the one next to me,A brief bout of laughter,Then silence again,The heavy set smell of the dust-collecting…… Continue reading Quiet Library
