Sometimes the wind calls me As it dances and trips across my skin Sometimes it lures me to dance Along to its haunting Wordless melody Reeling me along as it Carelessly plays with me pulling My hair from its anchors daring It to fly to create a frenzied dance Of it's own, searching For freedom sometimes the wind dares me To defy the life I have To let it all go And sometimes it beckons me, it tempts me As it whistles its way through the Caverns of my soul but mostly it cries for me As I sit alone imprisoned Longing to be free
it starts with a glance just a peek from beneath the lashes then a touch a simple grazing of hands then wonder blossoms toe to toe hip to hip heart to heart lip to lip innocence personified one kiss.. forever immortalized
with a burst of light that breaks through the clouds a joyful release a new beginning after chasing away the darkness each single ray a promise from above a hope a knowledge that there is love the sunrise feeds my soul a promise of forever what joy that comes from the breaking dawn another day to celebrate
alone in the spotlight having given her all when it begins that single clap turning into a waterfall soaking it in feeling the admiration knowing today she was near perfection then the applause begins to mute the room going silent and there she stands alone in the spotlight
there comes a time when you are lost and afraid alone and betrayed when your choices leave you in tears
there comes a time when you have pushed all who love you away and you stand frozen in place there comes a time when you wonder has any of it been worth it do i have value do i despair
and at that time you find that part of you long denied you find that now is the time to be
it is the time to be strong to laugh at the world to be grateful for the sun
it is time to smile with real joy because you are alive that you have survived that there is hope
it is the time to dance... in celebration it is a wondrous revelation
for all is not lost it would seem you have one last hope it is the time to dream
The other day I was reading a blog over at Darnuth Keep and realized how very much I enjoyed them. I envied Kelly the ability to do this. I envied her ability to be responsible and dedicated I envied her, her ability to take the time to write such beautiful words and I envied her, her desire to hone her craft.
Then I woke up and realized that I did not need to envy her, no I could emulate her. From tomorrow on.. well maybe tonight depending on when I accomplish this feat. I am going to post a poem a day.
What I liked most about Kelly was her admission that hey the goal was a poem a day but it didn't always happen. She did not beat herself up over this nope she just kept plugging away. So that is my goal.. to write a poem a day but to realize that some days life will not allow for this.
I also liked the fact that she felt these poems were not always her best work but continued to post them.. why? because while they were not her best work they did help her to hone her craft.. so that is my goal to write a poem a day and to realize that they may not be my best effort but an effort still..
I honestly can not believe I am starting yet another blog but there you have it I am plainly insane..
