A child-filled yard
Chaos of unbridled joy
Delight fills the air

The old ways
There’s something
To be said for technology
But there’s still beauty
In pen and paper
The deepest victory
Every time we learn
A candle is lit
Against the darkness
Every time we teach
A Sun is lit
Burning that darkness
Depression’s Brutality
Feeling failure
As i lack
The adoration
Of millions
Since i don’t
Possess a legacy
Where the future
Will study my relics,
A sense of reverence
Seeking proximity
To my memory
My fear of death
Oh, my fear of death
Drives me mercilessly
Impatient with time
Trappings of Elegance
Charming finery
The trappings of elegance
Oh, so seductive
Contemplation
Staring out to see
This delicious solitude
Fragrant saltwater
The Need To Write
Part of my brain is itching to write. Usually, there’s something to be said, though. “Oh, I need to blog about this…” coming flowing into my head.
Today, though, there’s just a need to write, to type. Oddly, I’ve spent all day in front of a keyboard, so why spending more time in front of one is compelling escapes me.
One thing I know I need to do to improve my writing: read. I don’t read plain ol’ books much anymore. And I need to fix that.
Sure, writing more is certainly important. But, well, pouring books into my brain is critical, too.
With that, I tried setting an alarm reminding me to turn off all electronics. And that’s just gone off. So, I’m going to wrap this up.
Time to grab a book, made of paper, and turn off this frantic world for awhile.
The purgatory of the Windows update
I sit, paralyzed
Waiting upon the update
This purgatory
Thoughts on my Mother
memories faded
her face inaccessible
her love remains strong
