I stood before the blank canvas,
dirty walls waiting for words like graffiti to adorn
the scarred semblance of what once was
uniform indifference of childhood art
hard to discern
yet valued beyond measure.
Waiting in the cage trapped
eyes like the pained dog that cries in silence
hardship so easy to remedy
understanding so hard to embrace
as it is as it was
and the slate waits for the hand to take chalk
to draw the dream that still waits
after time wasted
the mind tired.
What is it that we do to inspire a heartbeat,
a pulse in rhythm,
music of the soul
that waits below the surface waiting for release
yearning for the moment to be free to be
and the moment comes
as we sit unsure where to move to next
left to right in this waltz of life
and as it returns to the same beat left behind
finally moving
flowing like the waves that waited for their name to be called,
to step up to the moment and wash away the past,
to ride on boards of thoughts
we surf the universe
we capture the stars in our hands like confetti
that falls as the celebration comes to its end
and we hang on dearly to that last little piece
afraid to let it go
to forget this moment
yet still happy for being in the moment
and at peace for the release.
I pray tonight my internet issues have come to their conclusion. It has been traumatic to me to say the least, just ask the Mr., but I pray I wake tomorrow to find my clean slate, the universal world synchronized and moving at its pace and that no more rising blood pressure will find me. I have missed a lot of catching up, having to clear my inbox of so many of you left to catch up on, and for that I apologize. Technology has never been my strong forte and from here on out I hope to be back to normalcy, God willing and the creek don’t rise I think is how the phrase goes. I’ve missed you, I’m back and tomorrow is a new day waiting….let the rhythm of life resume its pace, and leave me a happy woman once more. Peace and love and to all of my new followers, if I haven’t responded, unfollow and refollow and I can find you once more. ❤ K
