As I sit here, looking from the outside in,
Looking pondering wondering, what the other person
must be feeling wanting to say, almost so badly
That I can taste the pure essence of the moment,
The colors of the Autumn leaves falling,
As I feel myself slump over from the breeze of
each sentence, or feel heat from the passion of the wildest imagination or maybe even true life,
To sit here and dive right in as if I am drowning,
being swallowed up by your sadness,
Putting myself in your shoes but never daring to
even walk a mile,
Showing compassion to you,
because I feel your tears melded into the words,
Somehow hard to explain where your coming from,
But in time you will be able to write profoundly,
to tell me the wildest dreams and realities,
Poetry takes the breath away, and All we can do is surmise to live again, tomorrow, tomorrow,
though it never comes, today must start anew,
We gain our composure once again, daring to breath in the crisp freezing air, that seems to cut through our soul. Sometimes in the most darkest and remote spot that is where we control our destiny.
Sometimes it takes being weak to become stong.
Sometimes we can dare to dream, though there seems no plot laid out before us, still the sunsets and rises each day, so maybe we can dare to believe,
even if the silence continues or the noise eradicates
my thoughts that is where poetry becomes
my greatest friend. Life is not always a ballad,
a serenade, or a dance but it's the sadness,
the tears , the hunger that keeps us going.
To dare to believe that someone out there,
was just like me. Look again reflect upon the reflection, Is it always a blur, wipe off the haze and really look. There starts the beginning.

"...blur..."
That word is the one word that describes many different types of situations and many different points of views.

"Don't think you can know you can"

thank you, I love the blur sometimes it makes you see the vision after all the haze is cleared away.
