Teach me how to regain naiveté
Dislodge the mangled figures in my mind
Battered, bruised, lost in a sea of decay
Recycled thoughts convulse me to a grind

Memento
Maggie Medoff Dec 2014
Walked to the river to experience liberation again.

Let the tall grass nourish my tired, nostalgic toes.

Blood streaming through my arteries like an ocean song.

Pensive- Mind's gears turning like clockwork.

Revolution
Maggie Medoff Dec 2014
How long does it take for a single thought to disintegrate into oblivion, like a leaf in a stormy tantrum of winds?
Discarding uttered, syllabic hopes and exchanging them for silent resignation.
We must learn to trust the weight of our voices, crying out against the hierarchal restrain of free-thinkers, the infliction of pain upon zealous, revolutionary-born eye-blinkers, altering the stale air and walk of a complacent nation.
A nation choosing easy over beneficial, leaving the actual judging to the judicial minds and entwining quick satisfaction with tangible, ready action, but ignoring the consequential intellect to make lasting effects.
Conquer instant hesitation and favor deeper existence. Learn how to cherish contemplation; Don't be a slave to resistance.
You are more than a work-driven vessel, guided by the ideals of those "in control."
Re-discover your original freedoms and liberation, born from a seed of purpose and self-determination, rooted in potential and power to defy limitation, you are stronger than what you believe you have become...

Paint peeling on my window sill.

Freckles fade to a lighter shade of brown.

Dust collects on the frame of you and me.

All little things I notice.
