Twirling in your mind,
Thoughts that share your desires.

What will bring them alive?

Can they really happen?

Is it all in one's head?

*Become reality.

Confusion.
Why do you do this?
Playing with my feelings.

stop it

Do you even care?
I wonder
All
The
Time.

Waltz back into another life,
Leaving and coming back is
Not the answer.

Let me live.

I don't want to care anymore.

the sound of the rain
droplets falling on the roof
the loons still sing songs

thunder and lightning
echoing through the treetops
louder on the lake

leaves dance in the wind
peaceful music in nature
it smells of rain drops

apple plus chai tea
hot liquid relaxes nerves
the stress disappears

the smell of coffee
peacefulness and happiness
reminders of home

stick around for hours
keep calm and drink some coffee
thinking satisfied

There must be something better out there.
Something that doesn't involve
Yelling,
Annoyance, or
Pain.

What can bring me joy and happiness?

I haven't found it yet.
I haven't found the thing that will
Bring me a smile.

My friends give me hope.
I know I'm almost there.
The joy and happiness from them is
Intense.
Life feels better.

I'm halfway there,
Halfway to happiness.

crickets are chirping
a melody of voices
what is their story?

there is a stillness
stars wake up from their slumber
shining down for us

colors transition
clouds cover the twilight moon
night is coming soon
ER Helmke Dec 2011
windows wide open
hair is blowing in the breeze
the sun peeks up still

music is playing
my passenger wags her tail
we are happy here

taking it all in
no problems can bring me down
right now I smile
