... ALL MY FRIENDS ARE ALLOWED TO JUMP OFF THE CLIFF!
This thought is just a jab at the irony of trying to reason with our parents to do things that are wrong.
In exchange for their wisdom they often get our complaints...


- Thank you to my parents for always speaking truth into my life -
echo Jan 2014
I think I loved you out of my life.
Out of existence.

*The shadow stayed, though.
echo Jan 2014
..
the difference between
worthless and priceless
is knowing
you are
free

..
freedom comes
from Holy love
All seekers find
& every heart
is satisfied
echo Nov 2014
So... two more wishes?*

I want to see God
with my eyes open.

I want to see others
with my eyes closed.
echo Sep 2013
why
does
forbidden fruit
always look sweeter
to my eyes?
I fell for you...
forsaking Eden
echo Jul 2013
Eternity is set inside of us
a cavern only filled with perfect love
you've always dreamed to live
for something greater

Ask and you will receive
Seek and you will find
Call upon the Lord
He is near and faithful

In the Joy of Endless peace
God fills me to tears
of beauty and blessing
In His presence I am filled

with wonder
this transformation
shining from within
the sun explodes inside
with perfect love

This... is what I live for
For the Spirit of the Living God
to breathe in us
fill us
love us -
the Delight of the Father

This... is what we live for

WHY?
...
..and I join the rest of them.
echo Aug 2013
...
Waiting here for your arrival
Ambling down the sunlit aisle
Still wearing your morning smile
Balancing your coffee and guitar

Waiting here in blind denial
Longer than a lonely mile
Somehow hopeful all the while
Knowing you would never come
...
Today.. Actually.
Good mourning to you too
-.-

hahaha
laughing is good for you
hahaha
did you know your body
will not tell the difference
between fake laughter
and the real
hahaha
did you know your heart
will not tell the difference
between fake attraction
and the real
deal
hahaha

did you know -
crying is good for you
too
hahaha*

(what a relief)
this is actually true :P
but just rambling... don't mind me :)
haha
echo Jul 2013
the way things were
is not
the way things are

the way things are
is not
the way they should be

the way things should be
is where
our paths diverge...

*I'm taking roads
          less travelled now,
                                    My Dear
echo Aug 2013
thoughts flow out
from my fingers...

they must still hold
my dreams

from when

I slept

with
my head
on my hands*

echo Mar 2016
Then we find
the shreds of paper
turns of thought
upon the days
that lay behind us
heavy curtains
opened up
like morning rays
and cut the dust
off threaded dreams
and shake the earth
with dew again
...
echo Jul 2013
I love it somehow
it feels strangely..
great
bubbly
fun

even..
but all i want
is for it to
STOP.
-sort of like liking you-
-.-
echo Oct 2016
Philosophy is art they say
And only those who paint it
Brush with truth
echo Sep 2013
harder to say

harder to hear

harder to live.
echo Jan 2015
Life does not consist
In the abundance of possessions.

Nor Love
In the abundance of words.
Search your heart - and learn to measure
Who you are is what you treasure
echo Aug 2013
i looked out the window
and saw

a cow.
true story.
and then i realised just how postmodern my world has become.
just saying.
echo Sep 2014
'but risks make me
uncomfortable'

well...
'uncomfortable'

I am the girl
taught by autumn
entranced by leaves

as I wonder
how these dying
are so beautiful

I am the girl
taught by strangers
intrigued by eyes

as I wonder
how these beautiful
can be dying

underneath
echo Mar 2015
she swept in the sea with a glance
stirred up the sand with a dance
and shells were her nails
bright hair, unfurled sails
to carry herself on the wind

Dying

Life
Matthew 16:25
echo May 2015
petal frills and perfumed lace
roses vie for twirling space
each crimson face,
each quiet grace
does turn upon the silent stage
like a tide, an empty page
and sings in wordless ways

                               *"Beauty awaits, beauty awaits"
echo Apr 2014
Veneer is peeling off these walls
Glossy facades unveil with time
Old surfaces exposed to light
Here we surprise ourselves
                      *with what we find

"I don't know, something amazing, I guess..."
Some Walt Disney truth (from The Incredibles)
echo Jul 2013
is someone i can
entrust
all my secrets to
laugh
about my thoughts to
know
all my scribblings
read
all my words
understand
what I fear
&
love
what I love

..
even though you love me
with everything you are
..
would you be willing
to learn to love me
the way that
I feel
love
?

my fluorescent lamp
quivers, trembles - uncertain
of her timid light
echo May 2013
I beat myself up for hurting
Decide not to procrastinate
And decide to implement that
Wonderful decision later

Later
when my pen is dry
And my eyes
Fall out of my head
To watch my self-inflicted
Demise.


And part of me wonders at the irony
Will anyone ever read this?
Let me invite you inside my head
You would be the only welcome visitor
Will you take my problems when you leave?
A parting gift
Apart from me your head is full
Of what you see
And so no one will EVER see things the way I do
And yet
Why
Do
I
Still
Try
?

.
Old
habits
die?
Hardly
.
These, our choices
carved
into
the very stone
of our
existence,
must be chiseled
painfully
to
greater runes
of perseverance
.
Old habits must be worn
until we've worn them down.
.
Yep
echo Feb 2014
Yep
If life was a dream,

thank you to my dearest brother

Please select an answer:

Am I...

a) a complete contradiction

     cheap amusement

c) beautifully disillusioned

d) all of the above
don't even ask... :/
YOU
echo May 2013
YOU
You: are my greatest anticipation [you smile]

You: seem to make the sun shine brighter

                                    ..YOU.

You: are the frequent flyer through my thoughts

You: attend my words with care, and i feel heard by
  
                                    ..YOU.

You: will never know how i see this

You: may feel but not know how i feel but

                                    ..YOU.

You - are my greatest contradiction

                        *When I play deaf to Wisdom's ear
echo Feb 2021
you know when the ground
is dry and cracked and hardened,
and the fields crunch underneath you and grass splinters
and cows group under shade
in the country towns you drive through
doing 50kms on the main road,
stopping for a pie and paying with cash?

yeah that ground. anyway,

you know when the rain's due
and the clouds bundle like sheets in the washing basket
and that smell of dirt and sky
and the thick drops fall on your neck,
and you squint your face up and wait for the next one to hit you?

yeah that rain. anyway,

you know how the water pools and the ground can't drink it fast enough
and it's drought signs to flood signs in sixty minutes
and the crops fail and the men cry,
all because the ground wasn't ready for what it needed to arrive so fast?

yeah that irony. anyway,

I feel that in my heart sometimes.
