dont be shy - here are some of mine
What I care most about Is what hurts me the most For it arouses my soul, and awakens my eyes 12.12.07
Compassion Is not a thought But an action Not a feeling But a reaction 12.7.07
Happiness can come from a festive extravaganza Or a bit of hot cocoa in a paper cup Joy can come from the greatest triumph Or a simple pat on the back after a defeat Beauty from a thousand pigments on canvass, working in harmony, Or a few, but elegant lines of calligraphy 12.7.07
If you stay still The current will keep going And nothing will change But if you stay still For just a few moments You can feel the life Of the river In all it’s force and grandeur Flowing right beneath you There is no worse feeling
Than failure When you know you Could have done so much Better
Art must have more Than a pretty face Or a pretty voice It must shake the very foundations Of your soul Tango with your conscience And spin your emotions To greater heights Where the view is both Insightful, and compelling
So what do we aspire to What do we strive for Why do we rise every morning What do we open our eyes for When do our ears perk What can convict our hearts What tells us we are here?
[Who Am I What Am I] 12.7.07 Part I – Someone on the Rocks
Oh child of the waves Woman of the earth – How it must be to gaze upon Both land and sea, Seated on the rocks of Chaos, change, and Confusion – When the small rock Of stability you are curled Up on is so slowly, Dreadfully, sinking With the tide of indecision Gravitating up To your internal Inquisition – Longing to walk Longing to swim Half and half Not one not the other How hard it must be Desire for all Acceptance by none Ripped apart Like a soul from the body – Every crash of the waves Upon the shore Is the tick-tock of the clock Inside –
[Helsinki] – 11.14.07
Helsinki Where the sky meets the sea Helsinki The first time a city has Ever touched my heart so deeply Helsinki Where the sea meets memory Helsinki The most wondrous painting Of brilliant, most brilliant Pristine light on my every step A silent ode Of empty streets and cathedrals Tuned to the tranquility Of ethereal morn’ Helsinki Past the lullabies of tourist attractions Museums, Fashion, Architecture, Lies dreams never seen b’for Helsinki Where memory transcends rationality Helsinki Whom I feel I have known Eternally, intimately Ever singing me a song Of adventure and curiosity And time rewound Helsinki I am an innocent child again for you Helsinki Between Mannerheimint and Pohjoisesplanadi You embrace me gently with wonder Hide and seek with beauty I cannot blink enough For every time I open my eyes And see you The world is brand New Again Helsinki
there you go. don't be a bunch of lamers - share your stuff too, i'd love to see it, critique, encourage, etc.
