Walking through the darkness, a light appears in the distance. Unexpected and inspiring, I am reaching out towards it, but still miles away. I savor each moment the light washes upon my face, for I know that at any moment it could dissapear like a mirage in the desert. So tie my hands back, and I'll tread on towards the brightness. After staring for so long, I turn away dizzy and disoriented. Each awkward step forward brings me closer to brilliance. Step, step, one at a time, careful and unyielding, until I am one with the light.
Some things I wrote a while ago:
9/19/06
"Rhetoric"
How are we supposed to move on?
True, life waits for no one--
but it stops altogether for some.
Without justification or warning
How do we find closure?
If love is eternal,
although this idea seems as man-made as religion,
how do you love again?
Wouldn't you simply be loving more?
How big can a heart get?
How much love can one fist-sized organ hold?
My poetic hands can't grasp this romantic feat.
9/20/06
It's time for me to say hello to letting go
Time to wake up and greet defeat
I wish I could give you a pint of the ink flowing through my veins
So you could write my story
Burn the words that should never have been penned
I'm weighing the odds and you're tipping the scales,
yet I'm hesitant to publish my results
I'm back and forth like a pendulum;
I'm ready to stop
I wonder who might be whispering in your ears as I listen to the ringing in mine.
---------------------
With every word you said,
with every breath you left,
every smile you sneak
and each laugh you squeak,
another look that screams
for a brand new dream.
+lost at the loved & found+
