Look a Little Closer

A woman
Staring back at me
Dark hair dancing
Lips pulled tight
Look a little closer

Eyes
Worn with age
Forehead pinched
In worry
Look a little closer

Thousands of memories
And emotions
Living within the contours
Of a puzzle
A story
Told in whispers


			

Identical

These boats look identical

Everyone the same

Water calm

 

But, each person and boats

Have identities

Have stories

Have lives

 

These boats look identical

But really

They have no relation

Surrounded and Surrender

I look around and all I see,

Are mirrors,

All reflecting me,

Is this you,

Are you trying,

to make me see?

 

Because,

Now I am surrounded,

And there’s no doubt about it.

There is no denying,

There is no crying,

There is no escaping now.

 

And I see,

You are trying to tell me.

 

I don’t want to listen.

 

But I must listen.

 

You are surrounding me.

 

Because,

Now I am surrounded,

And there’s no doubt about it.

There is no denying,

There is no crying,

There is no escaping now.

I surrender,

I surrender,

I surrender now.

 

Because you surrounded me

 

 

 

 

 

Summer Sun Showers

 

Rain drops falling

a summer day,

will it stop?

 

Catching droplets

relaxing and soothing,

is it cold?

 

Sun in the distance,

rays hitting my face.

Catching droplets,

What a wonderful sun shower.

 

 

 

Colors

Colors-

There are so many colors

which is your favorite?

reds, oranges, yellows, blues?

some are bright

some are dark-

all merged together.

i see them

in every place around the world-

different in every way

what do they mean,

to you?

 

 

Beauty In The Rose

I see a rose pink as a piglet dancing in the sun

I see leaves green as palm trees flowing in the wind

I wonder, does this flower dance with colors of pink and white every noon

Bursting to life

Or is that yet to come soon?

Maybe it always looks this full of life being its beautiful self?

Forgiving or Forgetting

I see soft colors all around
shaped like squares
occasionally overlapping each other.
I wonder if it's possible to move on
to not let the past fill our minds.

We can fill our minds with positivity
but the doubts and past experiences still lurk. 
We can't quite let go 
as much as we try.

Forgiving and forgetting isn't as easy as it seems
even when you think with so much positivity.
But maybe forgetting isn't the key
it's forgiving that will set our minds free. 

Out of the Dark

Out of the dark
Into the light
Leaving the lies behind me
Pretending you are someone you're not

Out of the dark
Deceitful and ruthless
Cast it aside
The good times are endlessly wide 

Out of the dark
Wanting new life
Reforming your self and being reborn
I'm no longer what I once was.

Old Lady

I see an old lady who is really wrinkly 
and is wearing a flower shirt.
She is so old and I think she has
no family and friends.
I wonder if she is gonna die
because she is very old.
She looks like a cranky old lady
who has no sense of humor.
I think she is a random old lady.
