...I decided to step into the sunlight thismorning...take in the heat on my skin..the warmth in my soul and pause...thinking...breathing...I am currently being stalked by 20 or so tiny migrating birds with an apparent appetite for baked goods...they are in turn being stalked by my favorite neighborhood cat...I have not decided whose side I am on yet...aparently I could be swayed easily in either direction...or at least I could form a close parallel in my life choices as of late...I have ventured far from my original plans...thrown caution to the wind a little too freely...and yet the former strands of myself still throb within my soul...rise up from my being...I have watched the bustle of humanity all morning...I t has saddened me...the misguided attempt of many...strain your mind...your soul...your body striving for success...and then what?...I have witnessed a myriad of amazing events this morning...the sun permeating the light fog...disipating the hazy distance into clarity...I have observed love in the sweetest form...en elderly couple although I use that word lightly...they were more like one person fused together by time...trials...life...the steam of their coffee rising...his hand teetering on her knee...her fingertips searching the familiar crevices of his face...a different form of passion...older, wiser, still just as moving as two young lovers in my eyes... a layer of condensation dripping from there brow...a trophy of sorts clinging to the windows of a dusty backseat...the thought to me is riviting...I can imagine these two in their youth...I see the echoing sentiments in their every move...it gives me hope for the future...I could never have a life without passion...sensuality...seduction...they have reminded me that one must not suffer such a fate....alas...my day in the sun has brought an inward glow as well...I will not settle in this life for anything short of passion...I am moved...aroused by life...turned on by the thought of it...enraptured....saleh...

I woke up thismorning and I screamed,"I'm awake!"
I'm happy, I'm alive, I have love, I'm real,I'm not fake!
I laughed and I spun, I jumped and I run,
I held my own hand and headed out in the sun!
Today I'm on a mission, to go fishin, smile about a boy I'll be kissin,
I'm gatherin up hope, to give the good world a poke,
Cos I have no shame being proud of my name,
I love my mum Elvie, she radiates great,
My dad Alan's the man, he's so selfless and grand,
Will's the true wise one, he knows how he feels
Then there's Allan Mana who's major, he's offspring could fill up a football field,
And Peter Rowe, he's our big bro and we do love him so :) [:)]
Then there's me, I'm the small one, but only in stature,
Mess with my family and I'll give you a fracture ;) [;)]
My friends are amazing! Yes they are the best,
They love me when I'm evil and when I'm in jest!
And how about Grandma? She's doin okay, she turns 90 this year, still as bright as a sun shiny day,
I tell her my secrets, without any regret,
As much as I trust her, I know she'll forget!
But back to my joy, my happiness for life!
If your feeling struggle or trouble or strife,
Just open your eyes and scream your awake! Tell everyone you love them,
And I promise, with out hesitation, come on quicken your pace,
It will come back to you like a sweet smack in the face......
