my own little world

0 posted 2005-03-17 02:07 PM



asleep in the sky,
as midnight surrounds me in comforting darkness
consuming my body peacefully
it strangles the way
that i sometimes forget
about the simple breaths of air, pleasant,
forgetting the days, moments before
where i gasped bitterly over some earthly woe
alone inside the office of dispair.
forgetting the times that frustration and I -
became so close,
that it made me sick with ruin

now, constant, the wind carries me like a child,
and i remember the day flowers met me,
danced with my heartbeat,
as thier aroma lulled me to a nap in the warm sunshine,
how i watched the lazy shadows
move past my glowing eyelids,
whispering beautiful softness in the breeze

and as the mist of summer rain envelopes me
the innocence that i thought was too lost,
finds me again, and holds me,
in spite of my rancid guilt,
cradling my head,
and wiping away -
all the tears that had never spilled untill now.

How can I stand here and not be moved by you? - Lifehouse

A very graceful and poetic spill of tears.

Difficulty with reality sometimes, but then again...  It depends.
