an awful bind

to be in one place guided by this mind can be a real trouble feeling like an awful bind to each their own i tend to say yet we’re all similar in our own little ways -aw

to be an oak leaf

the calm of a glassy lake hissing of bugs not yet seen a morning frost a simple life, a quiet life oh to be the leaves on an oak tree swaying in a midsummers breeze with a great view of the world untouched by man and emotion -aw

moments lost to time

here we are taking our leaps of faith breathing in and taking what this world gives us catch your sighs just as they come for all that extra breath are precious moments lost to time -aw

the little helpers

the little helpers wordsmiths, event planners, coordinators all working in the background sometimes quiet, sometimes loudly do not disturb come back later for I know the reality right here is far better than where I feel I should be -aw

let time prevail

reaching mid-summer reminds me of comfortable chaos of summers past the chaos before the calm hints of a seasons change let time prevail as it will -aw

enjoy the sunshine

this warm excitement it’s like I know it doesn’t last but that is okay most things don’t last life is change changing from one thing to the next season to season day to day but that shouldn’t mean you can’t enjoy the sunshine while it’s there -aw

waves

in-breath, wave rolls in out-breath, wave rolls out be the sand beneath the waves continually renewed, refreshed let things come and let things go -aw

bits of us

i am worlds collided into one bits of me here bits of me there bits of us in everyone we meet be careful not to miss them -aw

blend of realities

caught in a blend of realities timelines that only ever existed within the fabric of my imagination so maybe they did, in fact, exist who is to say nostalgia is a form factor easily succumbed to the comfort of familiarity a sad, yet sweet aura smooth and buttery, yet soul crushing making you yearn for a life never lived -aw

my not-home

there are certain people enough smiles, warm greetings a familiar laugh, or comforting questions that make a place feel like home without ever being your home -aw

nose twitching

constant nose twitching reminds me that there are things i really can’t control we can observe ourselves but only really master our minds and souls -aw

absence of light

couldn’t tell you the last time i used facetime past 12am alone with my thoughts, my scrolling a digital cocoon i’ve been carried in finding solace in a familar tune the shadows keep me up at night darkness isn’t so bad when you realize it’s just absence of light -aw

there will be days

there will be days days when it’s murky, cloudy, dark days when it’s hot and unbearable days when it’s cold and unbearable days when you want to start days when you want to quit days when you feel on top of the world days when you feel as if you’ve ruined everything days when your mind is your best friend days when your mind is your worst enemy but one day

between two extremes

how i feel so young yet so old at the same time caught between two extremes battling for grasp, as i simply gasp for air to what do i owe the pleasure of meeting this present self in this moment here i am, for now -aw

pondering to wandering

i suppose i didn’t know to appreciate those tiny things the cool breeze, the autumn leaves but now i know sometimes it’s the looking back that helps us look forward a pondering that helps us in the wandering of life -aw

worlds only written

i have a habit of getting consumed by worlds only ever written whether told in story or song attachments to characters and moments that i’ll never see touch reality such magic envelops me each and every time to rebel, to fight, to live, to breathe i hold the inspiration as such a tangible feeling so what else can do except drift off to a new world in my mind -aw

the lonely sos

a sadness that knows no bounds something to keep me company as that all it has to be a visitor, a stranger to say hello through these thickets we climb we’re not alone in this venture find yours and keep them close and as always, take care -aw

a spark to light

one who cares must be vigilant for that is the price of freedom we all have a spark to light sometimes it just takes the right ignition what will it take for yours to ignite? for rebellion is built on hope -aw

what is this?

lost in thoughts just as I am in words lost amongst the numbers that give us collective meaning the numbers that mask creating mirages all of our emotions, thoughts, feelings boiling down to 0s and 1s what is this? -aw

spinning top

if i look cross, i apologize there is a world of worlds inside me each competing for their own attention their own shot at capturing my imagination like a spinning top it’s a mystery where it will land today however, it will land eventually -aw

are we here?

life demands presence like an outstretched hand branches blowing in the steady breeze it’s all here, it always has been but are we here? what do you see? what do you hear? what do you feel? -aw

to believe in love

to believe in love is to feel connection something greater than the sum of us a bridge that binds us wholly more than a type or a superficial mirage it’s the sickening feeling that you cannot exist without another for without them, you are truly lost -aw

restless times

tension growing like knots in a back or the energy in a full room the unsettling nature of coarse conversation may we find peace and unity we’re all struggling amongst each other in our own ways, on our own paths let us share this, together -aw

dominoes

one domino in front of the other cascading, falling, having an effect we are the dominoes changing one thing into another into another one domino fell a long ways away to get you to me and i’m forever grateful for every one that had to fall in between us -aw

a ship on the shore

where am i to go i keep my course the same yet a ship wasn’t meant for the shore alone adventure and life await in choosing a path of paths a health decisiveness is in order as well as courage and focus -aw
