The Seedlings among the World

Wed, 03/04/2015 - 16:15 -- gordonk

A seed that was sown in the beginning of time,

Has come to pass seedlings in a world full of grime.

 

A tiny one grows in this day in age,

She is caught up in a shadow of conformity and rage.

The winds try to pull her along all of life's paths,

Though she remains true and without any wrath.

 

With a mind of her own she basks in the skies,

While reflecting on the future and all of life's goodbyes.

She soon finds her niche, despite all her fears

While she continues to grow her path remains clear.

 

As her roots start to grip the earth beneath her feet,

Her confidence grows and all seems within reach.

Though the darkness in the skies begins to break free,

She remains steady and firm until the sun starts to beam.

 

Through her trials and tributes the seed still blooms,

She's guided by the support of those that still presume.

She will continue to grow in a world full of complexities,

The life that she leads will be natural and blessedly.

 

We are all seedlings scattered among the earth,

Searching for ourselves and all of life's worth.

Missing You

In the dead of night it

Comes to me like

Cold fingers running

Through my hair and

Stroking my brain

With the sharp blades

Of missing you.

Are You Happy Where You Are

Are you Happy Where You Are

Yelling At Kids 

When You Hide Back There so Far

You Talk All Day 

But 

Have Nothing to Say

We are strong
And we are together,
No matter what
We cannot be stopped.
We are today's generation,
With access to everything,
It is just a reach away,
We cannot be defeated,
No one can nor will stop us,
We are today's generation!

let me tell you about my kitty,

he is super fluffy and verry pretty

he likes to play the day away

by running around in mounds of hay

this is the way my kitty plays

but when it rains he stays inside

i give him bowls of milk as a nice surprise.

he drinks it up to his hearts content

days in the house are days well spent.

Forever Summer Wind

I remember that one day out of the winter of my mind a summer wind blows in and spun me so I melted apart into the spring for me to remember

And the days I have been in hibernation for so long with eyes closed and heart frozen have melted away into great lush gardens 

But too much heat and I am burned and swollen into a mess of sweat and blood, but burn me more you hot summer winds of July and June.

Cauterize my very essence, stop the bleeding so I can breathe again, Breath into me and out again I beg of you.

Bring me another summer night and stir me up one more time before you go again from my soul and I lose my heat and fire,

My mind is a flame that never wants to go out but it can’t help it if the fuel ships off to strange shores that fires cannot go on, You know as much as I what waters can do to a fire like this,

it would steam up and go float into the air to be with the clouds and sun, dissipating into thin air no more a fire but everywhere for the world to sip up into their lungs,

I do not want to share this with anyone. I am a selfish child and with this greed in my heart I want only this to be mine and mine alone, not you, not this, just the heat, the feeling of the flames.

I want to remember that day I looked into eyes so bright and stunning that my kindling was set into roundabout blazes that lit up the room with at first a soft glow than a shine so blinding that the sun was put to shame.

What does one make of that kind of day where all the world just shines apart into light?

I’ll keep chasing that sun and craving all that it has in its rays, as far as it may go across the horizon I case the moon beams and star lights that aluminate the night while the sun plays on the other side of the globe.

 The eternal summers and endless nights, till dawn, and I see you again

The Weight of Words

The joy and sadness of

Expressing one’s feelings

With measured words that

Are delivered with meaning

But disguised by necessity;

Heavy words made light

Filtered intentionally by context

Revealing only partial truth.

Very loved and so worth it:

I cannot begin to tell you

How much you mean to me;

Ironically those same words

You once said to me lightly

Are the very forbidden words

I cannot not say back to you

Because from my lips they weigh more

And cannot not be made lighter;

There is no disguise

And no other interpretation

They hang heavy in my heart

Fearful of being unveiled.

 

But today my heart surrenders

There’s no place left to hide

I need to face the music

And set aside disguise

I hope you will forgive me

And I hope it’s not too late

Would you be willing my love

To go out with me on my first date?

The earth

“She’s made of fire.And he’s her hurricane.In their wake,She leaves volcanic ash. She can’t calm the storm.He can’t kill the flames.But when the skies turn black,And the earth starts to rumble,She falls through the cracks.As she falls, he takes hold of her hand. He pulls her back. He saved her from the waters.And he starts to drown, freezing and trembling.She warms the waters; finally, he freed himself. They pretend for awhile.That they’re not made For destruction,Whispering, ‘I love you’s.' In between silent sighs,The earth was calm now.Her fire is sunshine.And his storm is summer rain. If you looked up at the sky in that very moment, You’d see a brilliant glow–A radiant rainbow.”

A New Year poem on Family and Friends----- By Carolyn Irby---   Happy New year to all of you,  Family and Friends-------Family: Stop taking advantage of each other, overreacting over someone's gain, and somewhat fame arguing day after day because of it throwing a hissy fit.It's time to appreciate the ones in your life to end all jealousy and strife. You are not giving a good life or a bad life; you are giving a life;it's up to you to make it good or bad. Your face always looks mad. Stop holding grudges because some have more than you and can't giveyou money whenever you ask. They have bills to pay just like you;believe it or not. Don't say, "Oh, I forgot." Give up your evil thoughts. The more you have, the more bills you have to pay. Okay;It's up to you to make life good or bad. Your face always looks sad. If you expect one to give you their last or anything at all, be kind.If not, you won't get another dime.No one owes you anything, not a thing. Thinking that way, it's like a bee sting,It hurts! You will become that old stain in the family on a shirt.   This New year; Family; Throw away the games you play against each other; playing both sides.In a family, there's no king.No one owes you a damn anything. Trying to make one feel guilty forachieving their goals is silly. Yes, silly! Make your own goals. Play a good role for the youngest members;  Remember, stop causing drama and chaos with your lies if you don'twant a room full of goodbyes.  This New year; Stop trying to make that one feel responsible for you.Why? Is it that families expect so much from each other and so little fromthemselves? Remember to delves.  We all came from the same hole. Set your own goals.With your smart mouth words, it means nothing! It's for the birds;Stop pretending to be bold. It's not cute anymore; it's getting old. New Year brings a new beginning;-- If at first, you don't succeed, try, try againto achieve. This New year, Charity begins at home, true;Only if you Stop bad-mouthing the ones you are begging, behind closed doors;we heard it all before.Stop it! That person will find out; there's no doubt.   At some point, one has to realize some people can stay in your heart but notin your life. Who needs the jealousy and strife?You will be left behind. Blood may be thicker than water, but nothing is thicker thanpeace of mind. You don't want me to turn into Lizzy Border. Siblings, You all have an evil eye. Why? Try to find a New Year resolution withinyour hearts. Be smart. Stop playing both sides;  if you don't want a room full ofgoodbyes.  Stop your bad-mouthing. You are like glass; It's easy to see you tipping throughthe tall grass. You have an evil side. No, you can't hide. If you keep it up, you will inherit a family enemy in the end.Nine times out of ten, you may have to board your windows for fear of brokenglass in the wintertime because of flying bricks through your windowknocking over your Christmas candlesticks. There will be a snow breeze,and you will freeze. This New year; It is not okay to be envious of someone's Characteristics;it will ruin your peace of mind. I am, who I am, and who I am, I am, like it or not.Your jealousy brings joy to me; it's like ice-cold tea that hit the spot.It means I am doing something right. But I don't mind telling you to take a hike. I treat good, whoever is good to me, you see.  You are judgemental for no reason;Now, I know you are mental. All this is not from my back yard. It's from your dry dirty yard. It's your problem,not mine. I have roses growing from the vine. I will tell you to kiss my behind. I will smile because of your jealousy.  Life's a beautiful thing; it shines like a diamond ring and brightens up everything!I have so much to smile about. But that's for me to know and for you to find out. This new year, be proud of each other and what they have, even if you have nothing. Be proud. Stop bad-mouthing the ones in need. God watches he write these thingsdown. Remember this, if you want to receive his gift, a golden crown.  Give to your town. Stop saying, "What they ever giving me!You sound like a broken record.So awkward.Give anyway never expect anything in return.It's better to give than to receive. if you want to achieve. Be a blessing.Stop your obessing.No one making you blue. Give peace to one another.That's what you should do.You'll be surprise how blessed you'll be.Enjoy the new year no charge, it's free.Jelousy will hinder your blessings. Be blessed. This New Year is a new begainning make it your best!Don't let jealousy give you stress. Stop your attitude, show some gratitude.Remember; Hell is hot! And with that attitude, you will burn, you will burn a lot!.Give peace to one another; You'll be surprised how blessed you'll be; enjoy theNew Year; No charge, it's free. ----------   Friends, A second family. Never feel afraid to be honest; if honesty can't hold afriendship, nothing will. Stand up for one another, no matter what it looks like. Wewill do simple things together, maybe fly a kite or ride a bike.One on one time builds a friendship. It makes one forget hardship.Treated friends the way you want to be treated; it makes life completed. ------- Another fresh New Year is here. Another life to live!And thank God for more blessings to come. Vanish,  worry, doubt, and fear,to love, laugh, and give! Give a smile and a cheerful heart to others, Your brother.God loves a cheerful giver. It worth more than gold and silver.  This bright New Year has given me a chance to live each day with zest.To daily grow and try to be my best! To achieve my highest goals. To make newfriends and appreciate the ones that I have. The ones that I have will always bespecial and close in my heart no matter what. The best ones love cashier nuts.----- With this New year, I have the opportunity once more to right some wrongs,to pray for peace and my soul. To never add burdens, new or old. Stay calm;I was told.  To plant a tree and write more songs and stories, Chapter one, Chapter two,Chapter three. To make more so real like dolls, a hundred a week,Watch the boat sail on the Northshore and invest more money.--------- The New year has hope, joy, and new beginnings. It can be a happy ending.Remember, life is what you make it. What you expect you can do, not what othersexpect of you.

“ This heaven gives me a migraine”

                           — Gang of Four 

                    

In a county where no one lives  

Only a whisper of wind is near

Quakes of bombing give us all fear 

But No one seems to care 

George Washington was born here 

History seems to find its place there 

 

The choking sounds of the storms 

Seems to be apart of the norm 

Everyone likes to be informed 

But I always know their true form

 

Look up, look up, look at the sky 

The flock of angles are singing oh my, 

You can see the beautiful stars twinkling in your eyes 

The jade lighting seems to be the surprise 

Wait, my home is still no prize.

Longing for a day

Lo! I long for a day.
Longing for a day like this.
What actually will I long for?
What will occupy that day I ling for?
Ah! I long to see one day,
A day when the sun will shine brighter than ever,
A day when the moon will over shadow its circumference,
A day when the galaxy of stars will be adorned with its geographical endowments,
Then that day, the mountains will move.
The obstacles and barrels in life will be over. And then pave way for a new dawn.
Hum! Ehee, but when will this day come?
Why not today? Why tomorrow?
But will this day ever come?
I pray it comes because; I want to make hay while the sun shines.
