Patterns

Patterns are common,
Some are better at seeing,
Them when they appear.

Life is often a game of connect the dots

Sleeplessly Sleepy

Here lately the Sandman mocks me
with his calls to sleep that are nothing more than brutal sarcasm
To report to my bed at night
is the highest level of futility
Even the sheep are laughing
I’m here all week

6 Lines On Positivity

It's a mindset,
Nothing easy to accomplish,
Life loves to kick you down.

But even though the moon said he looked silly,
The sun,
Came up again.

doing okay

I think it's safe to say
that right now I'm doing okay
I don't feel sad
I'm not even mad
I'm not yet happy
but then again, I don't think I ever will be
I just think that right now I can truly say
I'm just doing okay.

Interpretations

Interpretations.
Manifestations.
Reflections.
Reflections
of understanding.
Comprehension
of infinity.
Cloistered
in a tiny
place.
Encased
in immensity.
Mind boggling
immensity.
Stories.
Grand buildings.
Scaffolding
attempts
to explain
what can
not be
explained.
Humanity
as constituted
best efforts.
Holding
together
civilization.
Providing
stability
to grand
uncertainty.
Global
religions.
Cathedrals
to the
great
unknown.

Long Days in a Depression Haze

Drowning in a sea of thoughts
Trying to find the life raft,
I wish to stay afloat in the now,
But I forgot how.

Sometimes it feels like these intrusive negative thoughts/feelings are like a sea swallowing me.
