To Speak Of The Wind

A poem inspired by the exploration of deep and uncertain things.

To Speak Of The Wind
Self

I am the wind,

Carrying, Carrying,

Carrying.


The copper sea floods me from ear to ear,

Resilient in the space between the eye and the brow,

The constitute parts of the flowing narrative

Resting in the anxious knowing of how.


Wake in your grass, leaves on your mouth

Drifting off in the nautilus south,

Dreaming inside the ghostly sheath,

Shadowed by the sweet Zagreus wreath.


Thumping, the wine draws through,

Round and round, thumping through,

Channeling the chalice of the crystal steer,

From in, the bloody blue,

From in, the timely true.


Fearless and framed, the lonely post is named,

Future and fame, the wooded plot is found,

Standing strong, a summer moon,

Falling over, the drapery rune,

Deeply, we hide beneath,

Lemmings dotting the winter spoons.


Onto grey, our image projects,

For it is the neutral stone you most reject.

Balance the jester, the sexual hues,

Knitting the father of the spools,

Loving the mother of the fools.


Heartful homes, we regress, true,

Paining presence, we repress, sooth

Mantled shadow over the fireplace blue:

Blackberries read in ignorant dues.

Lovely tears, yet fearless true:

I most admire you.

Resilient waves, thundering caves,

I speak of you too,

For it is through the wind, wrapping round and round,

Round and through:

That I,

That I most carry you.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
