Sometimes it’s just needed
A break from the usual
Especially when it’s hard
Just to live
To keep on hoping
Going
Looking for the light
Being positive
A small holiday
Can offer brightness
Pushing the darkness away
Lifting one up
Even if just for a moment

Times New Roman

In fog or flood,
it has to look like news
and not wear down too soon,
not be abandoned at the shipyard;
hunt-and-peck it to death,
it remains invisible, so readable
that it does nothing to draw
attention to itself,
leaving only the content
in its lapidary wake.

Self-portrait

I'm the perhaps
the maybe of life
things are never determinate
I struggle and strive

yet, all else aside
my strategies I devise
despite storms and stresses
I've managed to survive

life might not like
to dance with me--I don't mind
I'll play the game of living solo
and aim at the height

my perhaps and maybe
has never been a blight
I'm my own destiny
I need no other guide

Sandman's tears

Odd Odyssey Poet

Sandman's tears

Weeping oneself to sleep – by these muddy
tears, and their questions of worth.

As the relentless sands of time erode a soul;
it's all too simple to feel like grains of river sand,
drawn by the currents of life, and banking on your
dreams; yearning for our stream of tears to lead
us to a flood of many successes.

For in those moments, we are but the weeping
sandman’s tears, drifting into the embrace of our
dreams, lost in the wet lament of our tears –

One day, we shall master the art of swimming!

A Girl, Racecars, and an Unknown Truth

A Girl, Racecars, and an Unknown Truth

Racecars whirring in my mind,
Thoughts trying to find
A reasonable explanation
To this new info as big as a nation.

Oh, it's just such a fiddle!
It all sounds like a riddle
For me to crack,
But the skills, I lack.

Is this really true?
Is this really you?
Cause it doesn't sound like the girl I knew.
It's as if you were someone new.
Someone that I don't know of,
Not the same I know and love.

I wish one day you'd tell me,
I want to ask you, yet let you be.
For it is your choice,
Your voice,
And only you know the true story.

I wish I never knew,
Then I would have never questioned you.
Yet I can't help ask myself:
Are you really the girl we thought?
Or in my head, I'm just caught?

She probably is the girl we all know and love, mby I'm just overreacting...and besides, I don't know the whole story, or whether what I heard was true.
might be overreacting...can't help it though :)
