Frozen possibilities

Rowing on a frozen lake.

A frozen lake of frozen flowers.

Stuck.

Stuck on a frozen lake.

Possibilities.

Nowhere to be seen.

In this frozen lake of frozen possibilities.

Morning bird

Today I saw a jay bird in the early morning mist.

With its light brown feathers and a hint of blue.

Sitting high up in a tree, it would simply exist.

Just watching the other birds in the morning dew.

When we heard windchimes in the distance,

Announcing an autumn storm.

The thunder sounding its persistence

As it was slowly taking form.

Going

The grass is so peaceful.

Moving, dancing with the cold wind.

Shivering along with us.

Sitting on a bench,

Watching the field turn into the sea.

Waves crashing into rocks.

Wanting to jump into them,

From the highest cliff.

Wouldn't it be peaceful in there?

No sound except for the waves above us.

Opening your eyes to a vastly different world.

Open them, don't be afraid.

Let it all in.

No sleep

Reflections of the sky,

And the buildings beneath it.

Birds flying to New destinations.

Clouds moving gently with the wind.

The world seems so peaceful like this.

And quiet.

The sun sets behind a house.

Lights turn on in different windows.

As it's slowly getting dark.

Lives are being lived in every room.

Reflections of night arrive.

Stars in the sky,

Accompanying the moon.

A few windows still lit.

As sleep does not greet everyone tonight.

See

Be careful of your mind.

And mine.

They're fragile, and will break in different ways.

Be careful, for what you see is not the truth.

Is not reality nor imagination.

Maybe you shall see what I do too.

For our minds are truly broken.

Lifelike

A statue.

Completely still.

Yet so lifelike.

Looking straight into my eyes.

The pain I see in yours.

Are you alive?

The stories you must have...

No.

That's insane.

My imagination.

Just a statue.

Right?

Butterfly dance

Oh the butterfly dances!

Beautiful in every way.

Whispering their song.

Oh fly away!

Fly far, far away

to distant lands.

And explore the world!

Curious and full of adventure.

Oh to be alive!

Music

Moving with the music.

Soft and sweet.

A second later fast and angry,

Fuming and wrathful.

But quickly changing back.

To moving welcoming and smooth.

Full of emotion every time.

Feeling marvellous, dreadful and witty all at once.

As music to your ears.

Or was it a piano out of tune after all?

Admiration

I long to be her.

I wish I could be.

Sitting by the window,

Looking at the sun.

Admiring the birds and all their songs,

Adoring the wind that hugs her tight.

And appreciating life.

This is who she is,

And who I will never be.

In motion

Round and round and round,

I seem to go.

Never standing still, never stopping once.

Everything in motion.

Colours bright, eyes all black.

I am not afraid of the dark,

For that is when I truly see.

The meadow's crow

Oh the crooked crow,

How he sits high up above.

Watching over the meadow wide.

Seeing green fade into grey.

Joined by all his foes.

And screaming into nothingness.

Melancholy train ride

I'm sitting in the train, alone.

All I hear is silence, as a gush of melancholy fills me.

I look out the window and see;

Deers walking through a field with fawns.

Only a second goes by and they're gone,

As the train goes faster and faster

On this early summer day.

Ice

Happy faces all around me.

Each with unique features and a remarkable smile.

Feeling completely safe and content on the ice.

The biting wind rushing past them, turning their noses red.

And looking at this slightly faded picturesque view.

I come to peace with it, as I drift further under the ice,

And let it all in.

Close the door

The windows are cracked, the door is ajar.

The walls are fragile and it's cold inside.

I try to reach it, but it's too far.

I never should've come, you were right.

Living in a nightmare all alone.

Locked inside with no way out.

Turning my heart as cold as stone.

Leaving me here as I scream and shout.

No one who hears me, it's quiet out there.

Not a peep, not a sound, not a crack in the floor.

They left me here and they don't care.

You said you'd always be with me, you swore.

I feel like I'm drowning in the sea.

But you're not there to get me back to shore.

But I made peace with that, now I'm free.

It's ok, I'm fine, you can close the door.

Weeping

As my heart aches for you and tears fall down my cheeks.

Falling to the ground where I lay and weep.

Waiting for you to return to me.

Though I know that will never be.

Yet I still long for you every single day.

And weeping on the floor I will forever lay.

Eternal love

I love you.

I love you like a boat loves the water.

Like a bird the sky.

And like our feet the ground.

I love you.

I love you as much as I need air.

As much as a fish needs water.

And as much as a flower needs the sun.

My soul is reaching out to you.

And as you reach back.

I lose my grip and slip away.

And we never meet again.

Rainstorm

How untroubled is the unrelenting downpour.

And unappeasable just the same.

To get me wondering if this downpour is persistent.

How content is the silent cyclone.

Destroying all in its path, unbothered.

Does it make you shiver?

And the sudden cloudburst.

Like a weight lifted off your shoulders.

Terrifying, but satisfying all the same.

Does it make you shiver?

Does it?
