Song:/ Water and Peace Lilies

I just can’t decide:

Calm softness with lustre, or freshness with peace

You’re the lily on water, it’s so tempting, but

I don’t want to be pulled down, in fear I might sink

and have to come up for air because I can’t breathe

I don’t embody the peace you want, I don’t have the air of a gentle heart, it’s dark inside / and you’d find out

For me, with me, it’s a quiet storm

That’s the lack of my talking, more than anything

And I don’t want to fret your petals if I’m too strong of a weight

On lilies or water

bit of a song I wrote, called “Water and Peace Lilies”. Hope you like it! Let me know what you think! 💗

love, in many forms, is worth perpetuating. Making something meaningful just for hope… Relationships. Connection. inspiration and giving solace to others.

not the best at following my own advice, but i do believe this. 💓

the rhythm of my heart beats

beats….beats….beats….

Beats

it beats loud for the things it knows it wants

I can’t control how loud, or how long

that’s just the way it goes

Old Books

—————————————

The cover is torn,

There’s dust over the top

Crack it open, to see if you’d find a spark

Turn the pages back, reread

the chapters of this old book and those before that you’ve written in, retrieve your old thoughts

You’re closer to wisdom and majesty with everything the past has brought

Don’t be afraid to reclaim who you are.

- just tend to yourself; feel, be;

breathe in a sigh of relief as soon as you see [the first crack of dawn],

as soon as you see the mornings -

short poem

Minor Melodies

There’s something sweet about the somber quality a minor chord brings

Like it’s okay to be sad, or disturbed, and to let that feeling (Cm to Gm, far better than F to C) ring……….

out .

…irreplaceable, that which a major note could never allow for, it’s just

Something I find comfort in. a place where a certain rest occurs…

Those seem to be my favourite type of melodies, the ones I seem to always need.

Red Cherries

- picking up the saturated, tart fruit on a warm day

Something I’ve loved since my early days as a child

The flavour always brings

something simple, sweet

A form of happiness -

Lost Trains

- … —-.-

Lost trains travel through dust

moving past on tracks of air

Whispers of what could’ve been and surely, of

what was

Taking wisps of memory like the light a firefly brings

It’s the sudden act of remembrance

Being moved into feeling

They travel, and they’ll always go

wherever we need them to

Showing up, unexpected,

at once, when we need them most.

long hours of rain = a meditative time, a period of reflection. I really enjoy that.

[pagefromlaura-writings]

you know what? I think you do love. And, you love in a way that i can understand.

you love like i do. 💗

morning dew like drops of crystallized salt on low-lying plants, cobblestone streets, the hum of a fresh and energized society.
