The Sun
She brings us life and joy; despair
Her silent song a covenant of care–
Our faithful servant in the air
A gilded messenger, inasmuch:
The first time I talked to you
It was like the waves washed me up onto shore
and I dried out in the sun.
I promised I'd never go back in the waves
and drift away.
You dreamed of the ocean and
What can you get for a woman who already has a heart of gold?
A Woman who would give her last to anyone she knows?
To find meaning in life
One has to first live it.
At the beginning,
Fear tremulously takes over and grabs ahold.
It doesn't let go until you feel it suck the life out of you.
Born like any other
Perfect in my mother and fathers eyes
until my perfection was stained
Coffee was the culprit ,as it flowed on my young four year old body
Screams and shouts filled the room
Awesomeness is everywhere
In a string on the floor
In a feather on a bird
On the pavement that forms a road.
Awesomeness is everywhere
In a toad or a hare
In a hippo or a bear.
Through years of sorrow and so much pain
I thought I’d never see the day
When everything changed
How awesome it is to be alive,
To see, to hear, and drink wine.
How awesome it is to move,
To dance, and to sing with the moon.
How awesome it is to breathe,
To rejoice in the sounds of the leaves.
The papers constantly flip from Shakespeare to logarithms
Injecting steroids the books surround, trapping me in a prism
Knees quivering under the weight with no beaks so no rhythm
His Sea Package came with a sign that read: Run! Don't walk! Sex, no talk! One night and don't you dare stalk!
But it was cool see....
You wanna know something about yourself?
yes you, reading this poem, expecting some la dee dah.
You write your own story
your own choices
your own life
and you know what?
I can skip stones Earth made
from a dead man's bones,
but I'll never truely understand
the story behind
the nicks
and dents
that've made them so smooth.
But I can honestly say,
So what’s so awesome about life?
So many tragedies and hardships to endure
So many closed doors
So many times you fall and fumble
Days that left you heartbroken and moments that were best to be left unspoken
