gentle
is a word that could
describe me.
maybe if you knew me.

but do not take
my quiet voice
my soft eyes
my drifting hair
my light fingertips

for weakness.

I decided to make council,
With the restless thoughts
Who so loudly impose their
Selfish will, stealing all sanity.

Mind goes dark, rekindled.
A chorus of ill, surrounds the hold.
Farther, at the castles court,
The loudest voices quarrel

Those of past, present, and future.
Essence of good, bad and indifferent.
Hands drawn with wild cards.
But no full house or flush to play.

They've taken notice, grins gone wide.
For the anarchist win, this game of pride.
An outcast falls, over and out the wall.
To scream the song of wanting.

Eyes open, light returns, palavar done.
None the wiser, but the time has come.
It works slowly, in effort's guise.
Rework the master, or meet demise.

A house is built
Hour

The house becomes a home
Day
        By

The home turns into memories
Year

The memories turn into people
Century

The people turn into stories

Bricks are purchased
That build houses
That turn into homes
That create memories
That turn into people
That turn into stories
That turn into legends
That change history
And it all started with
Just. One. Brick.
Sometimes it's tough when you are just laying bricks to see the end picture, but it makes a difference in the end! It can be so easy at times to feel like we aren't doing enough to help others or to grow ourselves, but one ripple affects the entire pond.

rose petals..
colorful butterfly...
lemon grass..
rainbow in sky...
+++++
mystical music..
of flowing streams...
growing shrubs..
fruits and  trees...

+++++
fragrance of wet soil..
blooming flowers...
humming birds..
bite of honey bees...

+++++
clump of old age trees..
uproar of wild animals...
ebullience of untamed waterfall..
erosion of river strands...

+++++
blushing of squirrel ..
whistling of cold breeze...
dew on lotus leaf ..
rosiness of sunrise...

+++++
snow bound peaks..
tweeting birds...
always makes me realize..
that I am alive...

She sat
Upon my knee

And branded me
'If a pretty girl sits on your lap for one hour, it feels like a minute.
If you sit on a stove for a minute it feels like an hour.
That's relativity" Albert Einstein

Sometimes the girl and the stove become one

You're insisting to meet me in a battle of wits
And are woefully oblivious to the fact you are unarmed
I don't want to battle
But backing down isn't in my DNA
I'll outwit you every day

Bid goodbye
to the dreams
you left behind.
They are no
reason to lose sleep.
