Pieces


Far away from the mountains,
Stood a city, so very still.
For it was filled with empty souls,
Emptiness, they just couldn't fill.
This city, so vast and lit up,
Lights brighter than the sun.
It couldn’t rid the darkness,
To the stars they all wanted to run.

The city did hum melodies,
Music, soft and sweet.
Souls still losing their voices,
To the mountains they wanted to retreat.
The same ones they had once left,
Looking to complete life, and more.
Only to return - numb and drained,
And shallower than before.

Why did they go on searches for,
parts that were never lost?
Losing their precious selves on the way,
Was it really worth the cost?
It was then that they realized,
They had already had it all.
All the thoughts that took them deep,
Beauty that stirred their soul.
Those tiny little bits of their being,
Were pieces big enough to make them whole.

Evolution

You go through certain moments in your life and almost instantly know that something…somewhere inside of you is never going to be the same. The mind registers it…and so does your body…and it rattles your entire being… It changes something so inherent in you that it defies your own definition of you… and you are not the same… You feel your own absence…but somehow you also know that you are not incomplete… You are furthest from who you were…but kind of exactly right where you need to be… You don’t see all the things happening as instantly, but you can sense the disintegration…the discoloration…the diffusion of yourself… You can see those newly built parts of you…while still sensing the parts that have been torn away… You don’t understand it…but here you are…all pieced together… That inexplicable feeling…that you feel…the same one that leaves you speechless but brings voice to the silent chaos in your mind…the same one that causes you to stumble but makes you step rig

The Bouquet

They shivered a little more, As they saw her leaving. The subtle droop unnoticed, As the colors faded away. They waited for her, On that doorstep. Weary and drenched, Drowned in dismay. They were his words, She couldn't hear. They were her silence, He didn't understand. Language of withered flowers, A bouquet of lost dreams.

Unapologetic

She refused to carry the weight, Of their expectation. You could see it in her eyes, She thrived, Owed no one any explanation. Her smiles were fearless, Uncaged, Like the birds in the free sky. Rebellious wings, Her own rules, She was always flying high. Wildly outspoken, They loved her heart. That had nothing to hide. Untamed, Unfettered, Her life, She lived with a spirited pride. Her strength, Came from within, She left a mark on their mind. Unapologetic, fiercely real. She was, and still is, The one and only, of her kind. ~ Dedicated to my little sister. My one and only. My one of a kind ~
