Life is like the Florida weather.
You never know when a shower or downpour will occur.
But if you spend the whole time indoors,
avoiding what might happen,
you miss out on all the sunshine.

I've only spent a very tiny slice of time in Florida. Even so, I do remember how strange the weather was. How one second it was beautiful and gloriously sunny, and the next it would rain for nothing other than five minutes before stopping. I thought it a bit erratic, at the time. However, when I found myself thinking about it today I thought I might be able to find a way to write something for it. :)

Doubt is a quite death.

A flood.
A torrent.
An endless pouring of doubt.
It fills.
It consumes.
It chokes and kills.
You don't see it.
But it's felt.
Inside the depths of my chest.
I'm dying.
It's strangling.
It continues to press.
I try and fail to breath
And the funniest part?
I put on a smile and make a joke.
And no one seems to see.

Frozen Beauty

Frozen,
Crystal drops of dew.
Slowly sliding down the window,
Collecting into groups.
Whistling comes through the windows,
White fluffs covering the ground.
Inside with a blanket,
Keeping warm with the coffee that I found.
My thoughts spiral like the blizzard,
That whisks and roars outside my household.
Before landing on an analogy,
How even beautiful things can have a heart that's cold.

Dreaming

I think some people love living in the empty dark of night,
because they never quite learned how to dream in the penetrating light of day.

My little thought.

Saddest Five Word Story.

So many have forgotten Him.

(Writing prompt: Write the saddest story you can, using only five words.)

Our nation, our world, has stooped striving to follow Christ. So many have forgotten him. His love. His sacrifice. His word and truth. This, to me, is the saddest thing.

Light one Step at a Time.

Just remember.
No matter how vast or dark a situation gets,
all you really need
is just a little light,
to see that one step in front
so you can walk yourself through it.

You will make it through.

Keep Writing.

There is no wrong way to write.
Writing is just another form of expressing thought.
Expressing dreams.
Expressing feelings.
It's telling the world who you are.
Slowly.
One
Word
At
A
Time.
There is not one person out there who is born doing it better than another.
Because greatness is only achieved through consistency.
Write.
Then keep writing.
Until your words are autumn leaves,
falling together in little beautiful tufts.
