A sharp pain fills my chest, taken aback i decide to lay down within the bed of flowers and tall grass, as the blades brush against my face and the flowers encircle my body a chilled breeze flows through me, my eyes gaze towards the sky, my view filled with groups of clouds and blue skies far beyond me as well as the beauty that lies within the abstract shapes of mist above.

“Where am i?”

All that fills my mind is calmness, no worries nor sorrow fills my heart anymore. I cannot remember what brought me here. The sounds of distant waves crashing against the seawall floods my thoughts and distract me from whatever had filled it before. I feel at peace with myself, nothing seems to worry me any longer, the breeze continues to blow the surrounding flora in a soothing manner across my arms and face, the armor strapped to my body is uncomfortable.

“How did I get here?”

My hand reaches across my chest to the clip that binds the leather strap to the plate and disconnects the two from each other, and in sequence removes the plate from around my chest and back in one steady motion over my head, now without the obstacle I may rest without discomfort, my linen shirt doesn't do justice to my skin either, it may come off too. The crushed grass and mounded dirt from where my armor had rested made for a comfortable spot for my muscles to relax upon.

“Does that really matter?”

I sit up, and view all around me, nothing but grass and beautiful orange lilies surround me, not a single thing of importance in sight, just me and these flowers, it all just is, nothing in front of me, and nothing behind, I lay back onto the land below me and close my eyes for a little bit, it's all better now I tell myself, everything is okay now.

“I feel like I'm missing something.”

A feeling of pure content flushes through my body, every vein and muscle fibre feels a sense of bliss, whatever had bothered me before is not worth worrying about anymore, nothing can bother me, miles of grassland and cool air surrounds me, just calm, no one can hurt me anymore, I am here and here am I within this sea of green and blue my heart may finally rest, whatever was before, no longer is, no question need be answered, and all is finished.

“That’s okay. I’m okay.”

why,

why does life come in waves?

it’s either the white sea foam,

salty, bubbles, calm

or

the tsunami,

flooding, crashing, drowning.

Death she is there calmly waiting her turn
A farmer's wife she rests upon the wall
Her scythe still holds a piece of wheat
Her hands worn from the day

Death she catches some sun
A mature woman she in no hurry at all

She is just there

No rush


I can live with that

Down falls a drop
little knock on the forehead
Nostalgic feeling that was lost
Again started to spread
As came the shower
Mind tune to the acoustic
Heart begins beating
To the rhythm of rain
Little by little went down the pain
This mellifluous melody has taken over my brain
As a drug it numbs all the sense
And washed down this painted fence
As it pour down with all its might
Suddenly it all become pretty quite

And all of this stagnant air started to flee
And the falling rain drenched this soul which i called me.

I could be
Still.
But the words never will.
Stop
Writing themselves.

"Thoughts spill over as ink to a quill..."

When I'm in the ground I'll
Still
Reside in the words that I write.
Until

My blood dries.
And the universe has had its
Fill
of what I have to offer.

Keeping my calm
like an Islamic
but I don’t read the psalms
I’m watching them drop bombs
like a repeat of Saddam

Remember the days when people would stop and listen?
Listen to nature's song and watch the sun glisten.
Nowadays people don't care,
They act as if it's not ever there.
But I like to sit in the silence and listen to the peace,
People laughing and smiling in the streets.
Thinking about the silent times,
When there weren't things like crimes.
Watching the birds hum their song,
Hoping someone might sing along.
Try to just sit here and hear the noises all around,
Someone might come and you'll be found.
