notes

How distant do you feel from our ideal life,
and how hard are you willing to go, to get there?
You’ve got to pull a big swing sometimes, to get there, you know?
You’ll flourish in the aftermath.
What I’m carrying is joy.

Notes for an American student in Paris..

Be less intense
tone it down
pullback.

Enough scrappiness, hustle,
and intensity on repeat.

Sure, honesty is sanity,
but give them a better version
some ‘church girl’ energy, maybe.
win ‘em with winsome

Don’t welcome them, immediately, into your tense, inner world.

Space

A time of refuge.
A time of rest.
A time to gather your self.
From those voices that echo out.
Not to build, but to break.
This is your privilege.
You have earned it.
Enter in,lose yourself, fade away,drift into the calm oceans.
As it takes effect, wrap your self into this space.
It's your's.
It's your's.
And you have a right to be there.

Time out,
From chaos.

Spiral Sleep

I was walking,
through a street I knew,
but it bent the wrong way,
and the shadows
kept following
faster
and
closer
breathing on my neck
I turned,
but the street
was gone,
and so
were you.

WILLIAM WORTHLESS 2d

Tennessee night

i was dancing with my darling in memphis tenennsee
beneath  the moon above there was her and me
we turned on the radio danced to our favourite  song
held each other tight we danced all night long

beneath a canopy of stars we danced away the night
stars just like little diamonds shining there so bright
no one else around there was her and i
we danced away the night beneath the midnight sky

i wont forget that night in memphis tennessee
beneath the moon above when she danced with me
danced away the night to our favourite song
very much in love we danced all night long

i will hold the memory till the day i die
when we danced together.  beneath a midnight sky
held each other tight as we danced along
till the early morning light to our favourite song

Eduardo A Santander 2d

They Know Not

Pain is seemingly eternal
It always seems that way.
They know not, it is ethereal
So 'stay on it' they say
Unknowingly they keep asking
But we know, so we pray.
