Winds of Change
Friday, February 23rd, 2007
staggering between the paradox of
the safe haven of comfort and constancy just behind me
and the edge of the deep abyss of uncertainty just ahead.
the safe haven of comfort and constancy just behind me
and the edge of the deep abyss of uncertainty just ahead.
i can feel the winds of change,
a mere breeze against my cheek now,
a potential storm in the making.
i choke on the truths rising up from my soul
and taste the bittersweet possibility emerging
from once abandoned hopes and dreams.
Layers
Wednesday, January 24th, 2007
I am layer upon layer upon layer of flesh and emotion. My true inner self remains buried deep within the mix of thick and thin, transparent and opaque, soft and tough layers, slightly disconnected and concealed. Some days I want nothing more than to peel away the layers and feel unabandoned and free. Other days, like today, I am content to be small and cautious and guarded.
Somedays I need a closet organizer just for my thoughts.

Today is one of those days. Fleeting fragments of thoughts drift in and out of my mind as I try to arrange them in some sort of rational order. A nagging mental to do list. A rush of creative ideas. Emotions begging to be put into words. Dreams to plan and ponder. Memories from long ago resurfacing out of nowhere. These thoughts buzz around my head, briefly fighting for my undivided attention before suddenly giving up and vanishing just as fast as they appeared. They are like the snowflakes outside my window, falling haphazardly through the air, their distinct individuality dissipating quickly as they hit the ground, almost as if they never existed. I can do nothing but close my eyes and take a deep breath, focusing on this moment alone to silence the chatter of my mind.
