There goes Henry,

Who once fell in love,

But vigorously scrubbed himself

‘Til not a trace remained.

[ellenya]

You had strong opinions

Of grownups who play with LEGO,

Which you shared often,

But I’d built a fortress of colored bricks

And couldn’t hear you...

Today was a bad day. Not for a specific reason, but an avalanche of small ones. Some things I’ve been working on seemed farther away than ever. Some seemed impossible, but as despair loomed, the sun went down. A lot of people use darkness as a symbol of despair or resignation, but for me darkness is calm,

Warm,

Quiet,

Safe.

Because when it’s dark, and quiet, I can think. I can feel without fear of judgement or idle curiousity. In the darkness, I have time to process things, to analyze and predict and plan. In the darkness, things are clearer,

Patterns are more obvious,

More understandable,

And by the time I understand it, the brilliant sun rises and it’s a new day, a fresh slate, another chance to make things happen- because I will make them happen, even if it takes a mountain of nights and sunrises to come. No bad day is a match for the night.

Not for me,

Not for long.

No bad day is a match for my night.

The air is warm,

The skies are clear,

It’s raining somewhere else.

The baked earth burns

But well they know

It’s raining somewhere else.

10 years of drought

Only to find

It’s raining somewhere else.

Their eyes look up,

Searching for light

It’s raining somewhere else.

They look for hope,

But there is none-

It’s raining somewhere else.

What a Difference a Day Made

I went out with you on a whim

You seemed to enjoy the laughs we shared

The smiles, the connection

And I found comfort in your gaze

The moments we shared that night

Will change my life forever

Though it was a fleeting moment

The time we shared was magic

You told me you never see the stars

But I never realized I didn’t either

Until I looked into your eyes

And saw the world, lit up and full

Your touch was electric

Your words were the calm

In the storm I seemed to have held

In my mind for weeks

You taught me I’m beautiful

And I will always remember that day

The day that made such a difference

The night that I finally saw the stars

I loved today

You pulled my hand around, taking me to places that are unfamiliar in a world that I have grown up in It is weird how comfortable I am with you so quickly We went somewhere you wanted to go Super best friend love There are so many things running through my head I don't know what to write The experiences we had The feelings that chain us together

Cloud Cover

There are always clouds.         

And the sky is so grey.

This softness

Is quite bleak.

  Complete black with tiny lights

Seems thoughtful, and beautiful

But these clouds....

They smother the night.

Sky seems depressed.
