She is the green field

You will never stop burning holes through my heart when I am alone and I am weak
Burning holes through my lip when I can't speak of you
Through my palms when I hold the hand of another

after all you have done to hurt me
i wish you nothing but peace
and the last thing you will ever get from me
I lie awake at night pondering how the day went.
I consider the ups and downs, the highs and lows.
What shall I say about the day?
Was it worthwhile or was it just okay?
Scrambling up the jagged rocks in the mountainous terrain,
One will find that from nature countless pleasures can be gained.
The slopes of Uttarakhand are home to the Rhododendron tree,
Each day derives from pure beauty and the essences of life
The free-spirited wind flows through me as I journey
Loyal roots of plants remind me to be grounded and remain sturdy
Friendly and golden it lies there waiting A simple candle with the flame so bright It brings small light as the days fading Sitting on the bedroom desk through the night Days go by, shining with all of its strength Warming and cold fingers, lighti
Thank you for sharing your art
From the depths of your heart
And the confines of your soul
You pulled together something so bold
So moving and new
It inspired me to share my view
People These Days Are SO DAMNED RUDE ... !!?!!
And Seem To Think They Should NOT Use ...
Words Like THESE These Two ... THANK YOU ... !!!
This Gets To Me Doesn't It To You ... ?
Dang it all why does inspiration come at two oh three am?
I'm listening to the wind blow Grandma’s wooden wind chimes
together to the
tickticktick
Can we take a moment to just stop?
Just stop.
Stop and think.
Think about people.
The people in your life.
How your life is with those people in them.
How your life is without those people in them.
Child Like by Natasha Bartley
When did I realize I wasn’t a kid anymore, you ask?
I have yet to understand the concept.
Of child.
I'm thankful for my mama I'm thankful for my sisters I'm thankful for my brother And all I've been given I'm thankful for their love I am so blessed Never ever will I See them as pests They desire my success And push me hard with no rest
I’m thankful for love, and thankful for heartbreaks.
I’m thankful that God keeps all the promises that He makes.
I’m thankful for my shelter, and for my daily nourishments.
i’ve seen people
in my own mirrors
come and go like seasons
and just like summer
soaks up the heat of spring,
Christmas
Commerical happiness
Overeating, disposing, unsatisfying
Random act of kindness
Goodwill
With humbled hearts, Our Father, we come to you this day,
Expressing heartfelt gratitude for blessings sent our way
*
We ask you to forgive us for thoughtless word and deed:
L.C. S.H. E.S. A.S. Mentoring me to my most marked moments.
Love of dear friends is showing me to the path of happiness.
I am grateful for the bound of blessings you each have bestowed on me.
My life, my soul, my heart, my whole is claimed.
As long as day precedes the night it's here.
It plagues me, saves me from a worser fate.
As long as night precedes the day it's near.
All the times you’ve made me smile,
All the things you’ve done for me,
I couldn’t thank you with any words,
You deserve every apology.
We make things so much harder,
The boat is rocking,
Thank you.
It’s never said enough,
But when it is said,
It’s said with much appreciation.
But who do I thank?
I thank my parents,
dark nights,
laying in bed,
wanting the world to just
stop.
cocooned in a blanket,
silent tears,
or maybe
big
loud
sobs.
I pray to Him, I wonder if He even hears me.
My routine:
Alarm set to wake me up at 5:00 A.M.
After I awaken, I play some tunes.
I like J. Cole, Kendrick, Tupac, Jay, Nas…
Dear Younger Me,
If I could go back and change things I might,
to undo the wrongs and make them right.
But that's the thing, the very falslihood I used to believe,
dear grandma,
i'm currently applying for college and every day of my life,
i grow more and more appreciative of your presence in my life.
i owe everything i am to you
Dear Womanhood,
Thank you for your strength
For teaching me to hold my head high
For giving me the will to fight
Dear Womanhood,
You have made me cry
Life is
One tricky game
Vetnure
Explore to find your name
Yet know
Our mind is weak
Using
Rhetoric that views bleak
Save time
Everyone
Like you
The best and truest friends
Get all the hard jobs
Like the buddy that takes your keys
Because driving home in your condition
Is more likely to put you in perdition
Or the hospital
Again i hear the word in my heart falling like generous drops of peace flowing through my grateful core
Thankful,
a short word denying a bond's regression
a soldier fighting the war
between conformity and expression
When I wake I can
Taste the salt in my tears
When He was happyHe placed in the skyA thousand twinkling diamondsAnd the lover reaches up, up, up
To grab these tiny jewelsAnd add to his collection
Her mind tunes to Rameau as She dissects the Earth,From Her solemn seat in the gardens of Eiffel.Pondering mysteries She has wondered since birth, A usual trait of Athena’s DiscipleShe eyes each lone soul with the keenness of KantAnd wonders their
To shine at noon’s break, is nothing to pride.Because in light all shines, in rays all glow,And blue contrasts those who surf in its tide. But night attracts those, who endure its woes,And wander in black towards places unknown;Who pray to their G
When life gives you lemons,
pucker your face at their sourness.
Know that free stuff
totally rocks
Slam! Another closed door hits my face
Ouch! Yet another blow to my mind
Why the opposition? The painful rejection?
Waking in the morning in a country that is free.
Smiling in the mirror because you are blessed to be healthy.
Looking up above to see a roof over your head,
Eyes wide
And stinging
With tears
Feeling so light
And heavy
Without fears
Warmth growing
And fertilized
By thanks
And gratitude
And a smile
Quiet but there
There is no true way to describe how I feel when I wear my Booper Dooper sweater
Yes, it feels soft
Yes, it does feel me warm
I’m going to tell you something, a story of when I was just an adolescent
Not quite a child, nor a man, but the desire to be one was present
In my soul, I was thirsting, wanting to be accepted
A concert: a safe haven for the fluorescent adolescents who need music like blood that flows through lyrical shaped veins
fueling a pumping heart, fingertips, a voice box.
Smooth and soothing.
Gratitude if I could find it on a map . It would have a certain latitude and longitude it would be tough to find . Most people don't see it could not even think to be it. On my best days I can see it. I spin the globe no need to disrobe .
The covers for never leaving after a one night's stand
the bed that support me as I sleep
the house that has provided shelter from storm and insects
the computer purchased by my mother to help me keep up with the days
Everyone needs someone to share
in other words, your other pair
May be your sister, mother, friend or daughter
the one that will bring you joy and laughter
why,
at the age of five do I ask myself "why"?
Why does my dad tell me he has to go away for a long time?
Why am I the only one left?
Why does my mom speand so much time alone with her friends instead of me?
The inside of my mind,
the design is so complicated.
So intricate,
and it seems that thoughts
can be so crowding,
and fear does this rerouting
Rooftop sightseeing,
while the sun goes down.
Makes my heart starts to ponder,
as the bird reaches it's high,
and the breeze of the wind embraces me,
then makes me feel the essence of positivity.
These humble teeth and tongue
clatter
in vain to articulate the
fascination,
inspiration,
and empowerment I derive endlessly from my own mortality,
unable to comprehend this yet personal and
When I speak of love I aim my voiceto my parents who brought me hereand taught me how to deal with the cruelties of the world,my freshman year english teacher who cared even after I left
4 AM and y SAT prep book lies before me, and by now I have accomplished more than usualThe sound of cars on the highway is the only thing that separates me from silenceand my ongoing thoughts are what separate me from sleep.
We are, we are
Hanging by a thread
But we are definitely
Lucky we're not dead
We're not dead,
And with that said,
Let us enjoy our daily bread
And live rightfully so.
run from the wind
the shore, the sea
from the traitors of men
and the locks and the keys.
sprint from the castles
the horses, the knights
from the crown on the head
and the storm within sight.
If everyone is an actor, to each his own,
why do some leae the performance in the first act?
One may think a greater one- a Higher Being, if you will, holds the strings.
But Look at your hands.
It was the Thanksgiving of childhoodthe chopsticks laid out in neat parallel lines,the turkey, golden brown and untouched,waiting for my father and my grandparentsfor their footsteps beyond the door.
I'm crying in my crib and I reach to feel your warmth that radiates the most when I need it.
Mom Come pick me up.
The dams have been broken
and the water wears me down.
Swirling and spiraling,
lost in the sound,
I grab and grasp
for a fortunate foothold.
For the one I found,
I am forever grateful.
You are my parents,
Who nurtured me, who loved me, who cared for me,
There for me along the way.
It’s because you are you that I am I.
You are my siblings
the essence of my existence. As fastpaste as I’ve taught myself to be, my true fulfillment lies in stillness. The tranquil serenity and peacefulness of the motionless state of the self, a time when I can thoroughly analyze my position in social
Dear Soldier Man
Thank you for doing all you can
Dear Soldier man
The way you've dedicated your life, you've gained a fan
Dear Soldier Woman
I appreciate your bravery! So I salute you
Instructors introdued this form of writing to me.
It was an easier way to be expressed
In a sense.
First, rhyming was an issue
Then, rhyming wasn't a must
Now, rhyming is rare.
People are animals.
We, once domesticated creatures, now are on a destructive regressive path.
We are ending our own world.
We are cracking our mother's heart with the pollution of our industries.
The credits start to run after the images fade,
Everyone agrees it was a great show and leaves,
Not giving much thought to all the work it took to be made.
“No. No. No. We are not like the other cells
We are sophisticated and superior, living in houses and hotels
No drinking via osmosis, but pull water from wells
And we are called to worship God by the church bells”
Mercy
I’m lost in the midst of this storm
Can some body come save me from what I’ve become
I’m lost at sea, shipwrecked upon this lonely isle
I feel lost
Like a tree in a city
10 feet from my closest friend
But only able to say she’s pretty
And I can see the people walking by
