#limited
half way up a mountain half way down from the top often its a choice of words from the only ones you've got.

Time. Time is unique. Time is considered infinite, But it is also limited. Time is a currency. A currency you can only spend. You can never gain time back, So what you spend it on is precious. You have a right to be picky Because your time is limited. It is limited in a way we do not know. As if we were all given a bag of time. This bag is unknown in its depths, So one day you can reach in And nothing will be found. You have a right to be picky. You have a right to say no. You can spend time on another Or you can spend it on yourself. But choose wisely who you spend it on Because others may toss your time away. Time you will never get back. Time is unique. Time is infinite, But it is also finite.

Time is a Currency
the realm of illusion not much more illusory than in the physical world extreme unreliability impression by the unseen seer changing forms glamour an object seen as it were from all sides at once the inside as if the outside inadequate language frequent reversal astral light 139 as 931 and so on capable masters great hurry and carelessness all possible forms of illusion how do i deal with phenomenons like this few words are needed death is easier to face than to try and wrap my head around (life) it's not about seeing correctly, but translating what is being seen trying to carry my consciousness without it breaking from physical to astral... and back possibility of recollections could partially be lost or distorted in the blank interval experiencing between breaths the root of this moment to the next the inevitable now spirits unfortunately dormant we'll soon build up the courage

I'm a big fish in a small pond I dream big I see strong I dig deep To find what's wrong Bring it to the surface Where it belongs To be processed and addressed; Reclassified To bring me closer to success.

if you spy an opportunity to help someone change for the better urge them to take it on and offer assistance where you can be the positivity you wish to see but at a certain point you may have to accept them for who they are we are all of us, limited in this condition

flying
As a little girl The world was so large Within my tiny hands I spent my childhood Under the table Peeking out From my fort of tablecloths and blankets The world transformed Into fantasy worlds and bustling cities Within my eyes So young and so innocent That I wanted to grow up Now, I am standing In the middle of this vast world It grows exponentially with your expectations Now, I just want to make sure I make it to bed Before the first alarm hits Some days I want to crawl back Under the table Peek out from my fortress See those fantasy worlds Filled with so much possibility Before reality consumed me To feel so small, but so fearless To no longer be limited by the sky

#*Took a shallow breath From a shallow depth Narrowed eyes From the narrow thought process Living in a well Limited space, imagination Little significance It held in a unfathomable world A shallow breath, depth Limited thought process*#

little, little
In times of plenty I grow fat, dumb and old. In times of hardship I find my faults sold. I sold, for peace, my heart and soul. I traded, for war, my silver and gold. Peace stole, to turn grey, my mind and my youth. War declared their's the black & white truth. Still I love, and I hate, while I win, draw and lose. Still I'm impatient to broaden my views. But when I gain knowledge the unknown is set loose. It dawns without feeling to play a fool's ruse, On those always patient, and those with no fuse. Suns rise and nights fall in my ocean eye blues. What limits a world, both free and unbound? Where one can be two, both silence and sound? Blinded lives without fact; percieved lives of no faith; All shake hands in friendship, no fear for death's wraith. With & without time they grasp a new day, Without & with light, dark and dark chased away. I'd give you peace then and you'd give me my war. So content we could be, with less and with more, With sound, with silence, with chaos, with law. We are and aren't infinite, perfect and imperfect, One, none and all, within a flaw.

Who Are You? Who am I?
A dance of pull and push back A fist encircling a heart Clutching, Squeezing Power on one side Pleading on the other Out of control My stomach feels sick My mind blank Grasping toward where you were Spirling into past comforts Delusional daydreams Days become memories as they happen Irrefutable anger Violence on the body A mind of blame and contortion You lay out boxes I can’t fit into Telling me to get in I can’t breathe, but you tell me to melt like water and flow. All I ever wanted was some pull from you Acceptance and patience of my becoming But all you know how to do is push back.

Can't love me as I am
what happened to reason?/ gone with the wind with every changing season/ the seconds between you realize that moment at ease/ finding my way but I've lose the keys/ deep in the sea, deep in the sea/ is it comfort I seek?/ to break through illusions I create?/ am I just teasing my mind with ideas that easily leave?/ the overlapping conversations between my sensations fill the paper/ they fill the spaces of silence they might even satisfy the eye/ interactivity in the process no thought can linger for so long,  a vessel in disguise/ perhaps I'm just a lie, at peace with what I don't like... what happened to reason?/ a reason for this, a reason for that a reason to fight/ but all that I don't like.... requires judgement/ a thought follows, but I don't/ too many mistakes have been made under this light/ a war to be settled with the untouchable, with a mirror/ there was never a reason to retaliate with my angels and my demons/

How do you know Was it ever enough What thundered feeling into your life Did the accepted circumstances ****** you You were always outside of the limited space Limited by the imprisoning power of mindless perceptions How did you know? Brian Hill - # 228

How?
I am in the middle of an emotional sea, Where I look up at the birds up high, And wonder if I could be as free; But again, freedom is just a lie. There is a chasm between what I know and see, Do we really need wings to fly? So concerned about what to think, what to be; Struggling in a limited sky. - [ ] I don’t trust the thoughts inside my head, - [ ] I’m a prisoner of my own, - [ ] I guess I’ll never see the land. - [ ] When will this cell be gone?

The bird that won’t fly
when poetry will die the apocalypse of the soul will erupt in each of us my being made of lyrics will get lost in contemporary illiteracy, our daily food will be missing from the shelves in the libraries and virtual pages will replace the smile of the sweet girl from my favorite bookstore, I will no longer cuddle the book covers made with good taste and I will no longer breathe stories that hide behind them, thinking will become limited by a collective sentence which will swallow me and devour my last remaining metaphor, then amnesia will make a nest in me and I'll beg it never to leave me!

~ Apocalypse ~
No day goes by without a mistake, If only I'd told her, and given her my coat, I'd be some one she can't forsake. But the words I could not utter, were stuck in my throat ---If all people need love, then why bother with fruitless chasing? Limited time, but wasteful hearts, for what? For I know love is not rational, instead felt, it cannot be stopped So waste no time and lend me a moment--- If only I'd told you then, that cold afternoon, But love is scarcely spoken by a short-lived buffoon.

Happiness
In the midst of the pain, I whisper your name, My prayer was all about you, Life and Comfort feels anew. Your hugs and kisses, Were answers to my wishes. But not every wish is true, Everything we had, I threw. The mistake I committed, Is something I have never regretted. Because I knew you would suffer, For the burdens I carry, my lover. Wishes and blessings to you, I hope you feel the same way too. Now, I see your new beginning, You found a love never ending.

Unlove To Love
I walk blindly through beauty. I numbly touch its fur. I exhale its fragrance. To drift is to be sure. My vision is cut short, that of a pin, sculpted, chiseled, cut down. Brown is my vision, defined by the words within. between the two, I am. Stability in the binding, the spine, I bend. The cover, my beginning. The back, my end.

My understanding of today Is as limited as my life Live today As it comes We have been told and practiced With devotion We do prepare for the mundane But what’s one to do about the unknown What does it take to be future ready? Is it the happenings of today Is it the mistakes of today That will lessen the burden of tomorrow As today the lesson was learned Yet how to prepare for the unknown Remains a question for tomorrow

Definite Integration
in a way time is like a dime, tails for passing, heads for gaining, because time is so limited, a dime is limited, so think it as this, collecting all the dimes may gain you so much time, but you'll be wasting the dimes, because you never use them.
