Saggezza

Deafening quiet, the world spinning beneath me. I struggle for air but in vain, the cold surrounds my earthly body and embraces me as if I were a lost child, the waters slowly filling my lungs, slowly creating a dizzied panic. I am floating, above pain, above joy, with just the emptiness to keep me company. The neverending nothing behind the painful existance we all face on a daily basis, so cold yet warm at the same time. The water fills my lungs as I struggle for life, I fight to hold on to the material world, but I hate it with every fiber of my being. I wished to be alone and cold, buried with worms to be my neighbors, left unmarked benea

Floating through swirls of color: pink, purple, blue; the sunset stretched ahead for miles, sand and water meet below and give way to rolling waves. Tiny specks of life move toward civilization for the time being, leaving the adventure, the beauty, the grace of the ocean as the sun disappears beneath her, only to rise again and make his age-old journey across the waves. I soar above my mistress, the ocean, gliding on air pockets, floating on fluffy white clouds, reclining on bright sun beams until they fade away. Then the stars, shining full of life and love, telling tales of those long-gone, arrive. My lady, the moon, comes with them, confes

"Where are we going, Mommy?" I asked. She made me put on my nice pants and a button-up shirt and wouldn't let me wear my sandals. We must be going somewhere special.     "To see Grandma, sweetie," she said and picked up my little sister, Maggie. The were both dressed nice, too.     "Where's Daddy?" She grabbed her purse, Maggie's bag, and her keys.     "He's already with Grandma, Sam. We need to get going." So we went out to her car. Mommy strapped me and Maggie in and handed me my Etch-a-Sketch. It was my favorite car toy. Then she got in the car and we left.     What seemed like an eternity went by before Mommy stopped the car.  

I have a glass box hidden in my closet. The box itself is not significant, but its cargo is the most beautiful being I have ever seen. She has flowing chestnut hair and neverending blue eyes that you get lost in when you look at her. Her dress flows around her tiny form and no matter what position she sits, she is the most beautiful thing in the world. Her features are soft, and I think she would never be mad at me.. but she has been. She doesn't look it, but she will bite! Her mossy green wings stay folded beneath themselves, since she doesn't have enough room to fly. I wish I could get her a bigger box so she could fly. But I can never tell

Dear Love, The times we've had were unforgettable, being apart was always deplorable. You tried and tried to be my best friend, but some wounds you were just unable to mend. Don't worry and don't feel bad, just know that I was never sad. You were understaring and caring, And, yes, I noticed you staring. Above all, I always confided in you, and I finally admitted that  I love you too . So I know that this will be hard for you to take, you should know that it makes my own heart break. But I saw you today in the arms of another, and now I know we shouldn't be together. With courage, I give you my most humble blessing, I know this

Do you realize that I'll soon be gone? You'll continue to sing that same old song. Who will listen? Who will care? Do you understand that I'm outta here? I'm packing my stuff; I'll no longer be near. Can you hear me? Do you care? Do you comprehend what I'm trying to say? Come tomorrow or next week I'll be out of your reach. Who will you yell at? I don't care. Do you think that I would tarry? My life's waiting for me; some day you'll be sorry. Who can you tell? Nobody cares.
