in the blind

yearning for starry starlit skies to set my fragile universe in motion
wishing for reality to come soon and fantasy to reside on the moon
wondering when the acoustic melody would meet its destined symphony
remembering tenderness and gentleness in the warmth of a silken touch and sunny smile
hoping for the best and working for the best with renewed faith and enthusiasm
living vibrantly, deliberately, fully to finally embrace growing, learning, harvesting
loving deeply, passionately, honestly with no delay, no distance, no distress

she hummed herself a lullaby

he strummed himself an acoustic melody

she hugged herself for warmth

he warmed himself with memories

she amused herself watching rain drops

he gathered himself courage from falling rain

she cheered herself with funny antics

he carried himself to dreams long past and upcoming

she stopped herself from wandering

he pushed himself into trying

(k) NOT (s)

- shed not a tear for the lonely minute - wonder not on the fate of a single raindrop - fear not the unanswered questions on your mind - hold not the past long gone - ask not the fury of the raging storm - look not at the landscapes of the human logic - sing not a lullaby for some dreamless wanderings - seek not the fulfillment of temporal yearnings - cling not to promises which may be broken - create not the rudiments of chaos - break not the cyclic rhythmn of the seasons - build not foundations made on dust and distance - cry not for the sad requiem - laugh not for this childish struggling - walk not the path wide open - dream not the vision of perfection - embrace not the uncertain freedom - surrender not the pure and perfectly crafted gift of loving - hope not for the pain of losing - put faith only in the beauty of giving, breathing, sharing, living -

just asking

can you taste
curiousity?

can you own
a sanctuary?

can you kiss
a melody?

can you hug
a memory?

can you contain
a symphony?

ask
and you
shall receive

seek
and you
shall find
