Its art
Quiet inside me
Desperate grasp for reality
Its just and bright lights
High hopes

Spill what was a lack of thought
Open up this time in space
What I can see
What I can feel
Open what was closed

If I'm condemned for this
Then so be it
Condemn me
Let it go like that
Smooth and quiet

Open this up
For me and you
I'm a real person
A little depressed and excited
Just thinking about what I will do

Understand this overbearing state of mind
Pull it back to clearly see
This isn't fantasy
Even with a muzzle mouth
And here my mind is dragging it will understand

Just to forcefully say something
And reallize what I actually did
Open this can of potential
Show it out for you
But may you see

God blesses.

this is a good write greeny, but it was  a little abstract i wanted to see more like what are you opening up and your overbearing state of mind, you know a few more concrete ideas, but i did enjoy this

Awake through motion with curiosity to curtain your first move
Over arms length they'll break protocol
Jealous envy for the youngest one

Given how abstract the art of your journey, Craig, it only takes a moment of really looking at this to truly admire its beauty.
Do they appreciate abstract art in Seattle? I'm sure they do... Here's to your journey, and tell Elijah I said hello! Great poem from a great poet and person.

Wings bruised from turning away in such confined space...Not broken...still healable...still feathered with life, somewhere

Thank you everybody

eor-Well this is basically like most of my "work" based on present circumstances.  I'm going to Seattle (here is your answer eve) on a bus and I don't really know what to expect when I get there, but since I'm no longer a witch and I'm on God's side I'm somewhat comfortable with it.  Maybe I could have been a little more abstract with the ideas and words though.  

purity- I hope they like quiet art and all kinds of art, because I'm going to be selling as much as I can make and doing music.  lol.

eve- You are an awesome poet.  I love everything I've read from you.  Its always pretty deep and sometimes I have to read it a few times before I understand it fully, and even then I sometimes have a hard time.  Yeah maybe I am a freak.  Hopping across the country to a place where I know no one and doing it with a growing sensation of faith in God.  Yeah I'm a freak.  lol.

You guys are awesome.

-GIS

God blesses.
