The stillness
Wraps around me
Like an old friend
At last
Peace
Like the clay
On a potters wheel
I pull and push
To make what is not
From what all ready is
If only I would see
All that is
Just is
You cannot catch the moment
For so long
My focus had changed
Today
I have begun again
I have yet to ever make a post about this after all this time, seeing as I make a post about all the other random stuff I think about. My family is basically holding a celebration in honor of my great-grandmother. It’s to thank Buddha for her long life, she believes this year will be her last…
I think this is awesome, and I wish it could happen in my life. I am so thankful that it gets to happen in the poster’s life.
Talk
Talk
Talk
Stop talking
Enjoy the silence
I smile in a certain way when we do
I’m dumb
your silly
thats the way we love
some burn brighter
and those are the fools who get hit by the snipers
You are the thing
I seek to protect
I hope you know that
Without you
the skies would be different to me
The anwsers are closer then they seem
stop trying
The world is more beautiful
The world is more beautiful
From Sand and Foam by Kahlil Gibran
Where we want to be
and where we are
both start with the ground
under our feet
I need to write a poem
that shows you the way I imagine the room feels
when we just stay in and watch a movie
but I can’t
so any poem is better
even this one
if this is indeed a poem
I became ashamed today
when at the end of it
I looked down at my soiled hands
and realized that
I’m trading my days
for all the riches
that I never really needed
and I’m losing
all the things I ever really had
It’s always the fleeting moment
that we treasure the most
(I don’t want to publish this, because then it becomes real.)
I always wonder how I’ll feel when I examine an experience for the second time. I think about it as the moment’s happening. I make mental notes to document particular things I might like to savor; details which should linger so I may remember.

this is how I felt about my quiet cup in my nice clean and quiet house this morning.
