"When The Rain Came"- A Poem

(source)

I remember the day

When I rode my bike home in the rain.

The sky got quiet and the trees didn’t breathe,

And then the rain came.

I’d never felt a million needles

Landing on my skin all at once,

But that day, I swear to you,

I felt alive.

I was alive when the mascara ran down my face,

Like cascading rivers of blackness.

I was alive when my jeans stuck to me,

Forcing my movement slowly to almost nothing.

I was alive because I remember laughing

Then gasping for some extra helpings of that

Air that was flooded with oxygen.

Crisp, energizing, and fresh oxygen,

While I pedaled, and pedaled

All the way to my warm garage.

And the best part was,

When I found shelter and the rainbow came out,

It was the most electrifying rainbow I’d ever seen,

Because I had given it life.

"World Spins Madly On" -The Weepies

Woke up and wished that I was dead
With an aching in my head
I lay motionless in bed
I thought of you and where you'd gone
and let the world spin madly on

Everything that I said I'd do
Like make the world brand new
And take the time for you
I just got lost and slept right through the dawn
And the world spins madly on

I let the day go by
I always say goodbye
I watch the stars from my window sill
The whole world is moving and I'm standing still

Woke up and wished that I was dead
With an aching in my head
I lay motionless in bed
The night is here and the day is gone
And the world spins madly on

I thought of you and where you'd gone
And the world spins madly on.

(I chose this song as the title for my 365 blog. I feel that its message is that no matter what happens, good or bad, the world is always spinning and time will still go on, either with or without you.)

"Living is like tearing through a museum. Not until later do you really start absorbing what you saw, thinking about it, looking it up in a book, and remembering - because you can't take it in all at once."

-Audrey Hepburn

To see the sea...

"We are tied to the ocean. And when we go back to the sea, whether it is to sail or to watch - we are going back from whence we came."

~John F. Kennedy

"The Bathroom Stalls"- A Poem

 (source)

I lock the door and I’m alone,

And the walls…

Those scribbled, dirty walls begging to be written on

They call to me.

“Nothing cruel,” they say,

“We don’t like harsh words.”

The one on the end

Wants to tell someone they’re beautiful

And that Brandon L. isn’t a jerk,

He just wants to feel accepted.

The middle one is longing for you to realize that

You have to find the good in people,

Even if it’s the obtuseness of Tiffany M.

Carvings and the potent smell of hot pink permanent marker,

Can explain why Jordan R. can’t be forgiven

Because of the fiasco with Ashley E.

But that stone and plastic can only hold so much

Negativity.

Until someday, a bright fortunate soul

Will take a black marker and erase the stings and distress,

With a few drops of hope.

Just one simple phrase

Which contains a whole lot of advice,

“Thou shall love thy neighbor…

As thyself.”
