#97 Indecision

courtesy: Wordpress Blog Random_Michelle


You weren’t made 
to walk on water
but sometimes it seems
everyone thinks that you should.
Trapped in between 
the fear of drowning
and the fear that you actually could.
You’re confounded by the weather
seemed to be progressively greying 
for years
what ever happened to the light
that glints off the clouds
with the intent
to then
sparkle in your eyes?
You weren’t made to navigate
these seas
but staying on the shore
wasn’t option
too much claustrophobic
thoughts
projected in your direction
too many loud voices
in your space
when all you needed was silence
making matters 
even more trying 
than they already seemed
was all the stimuli
that distracted
from which
was the environment
of your reality...
All the stimuli
that blindfolded
you from the calm
and opened you to
this impending sense of tragedy.
You weren’t made to walk on water
but somehow you wished you could
because staying on the shore
wasn’t really doing you 
any good.

#94 Her Descent

courtesy: Wordpress Blog Random_Michelle




Contorted notions
of dreams
trapped underwater
bent at the knees
tears all dried up
as stones
bound in the chest
where monsters emerge
bursting forth from unrest
desperate to break free
from this cycle becoming undone
reaching for words spoken
that were meant to be sung
falling
to a floor of recesses
damaged yet new
streams of designs
Unleashed
shrouded in light blues
Falling apart at the seams
Along the path of 
unraveling thread
of delayed desires
that pull downwards
enabling the demise
responsible for her descent.

#69 For Fear of Solitude

courtesy: Serhat Demiroglu


Why this fear
of facing yourself?
being alone...
for once,
without the company of
any 
one 
else.
Why this fear
of being hidden away
in a place where you can consider
your thoughts, your actions
and the words you constantly
say...
Speaking over yourself
speaking over your family
speaking over your friends
speaking over the issues
you’ve created that extends
into the dome that
rests on a ceiling you constructed
where every distraction
lies in between
the image you’ve made
and the person you are 
interested in becoming...
Why are you afraid
of being along with 
your own thoughts?
Are you uncomfortable
with the person you are?
Be.
Still.
Enjoy the awareness of you
and if you don’t...
then
look deeper
though uncomfortable,
to see what 
can be changed
so that you do.
Don’t hide behind
the noise of meaningless
conversations,
social events
that offer no type of solutions
but just distractions 
to keep 
you occupied,
busy lights and voices
that distracts from the
substance that lies on the inside.
Become acquainted with your being.
What have you been using
voluntarily
to prevent you from seeing
into the space where you would meet
yourself for the first time.
Voluntarily blind-
voluntarily living a lie.
maybe if you got to know
who looks back at you, you would
stop all this senseless running
and 
.halt.
Right here;
in this place
where these questions
now listen.

For your reply.

#60 Soul Living. An Afternoon Musing.

courtesy pinterest.com


Years can confuse the meaning between
a life and its living
sorted by our finite minds
and the memoirs of our experiences...
and unabashed in the trickle
of innumerable minutes that pass by
we often see ourselves through
the contours of a sandy hourglass,
not in depth but in width of time.
However, there is a dynamic reach that
can make one glad for it concedes
the differences
that lie on the realm of what one had,
will have and what one actually has
and it is in this portal everyone passes
irrespective of gain or losses
for youth is an everlasting state of the soul...
and it is through embracing the execution
of living through its wonder
is what makes this life...
what we have defined
as beautiful.
