ZERO OUT, AT ZERO ALTITUDE AND COUNTING..!
Zero out at zero minus zero T minus 4 and counting
Don't know if I'm coming or going, or falling over
myself; to know myself; to find myself out again
Estranged, stranger days the hands of strange a
stranger way
Away with the pixies, away with the birds,
away with the fairies
Couldn't see the light to concede my plight,
the flight of Angels
Only to sail the seven seas and map the four corners
of the globe
Away in a manger, the twelve Apostles and the Star of
David
The House of the Holy, the Crest of Nobility and Noble
honor
The 13th hour and the nine tenors, a gate, a stairway
to Heaven; and the piper at the gates of dawn
The crescent moon and the Holy Ghost has spoken
Morning has broken, Noelle and the book of God on
a wing and a prayer
God have mercy on their souls for thou shall not commit
a mortal sin
The second coming, Armageddon and the Apocalypse
God almighty, God willing, God have mercy on those
that are of good of will, Amen
I love you all
I am so ashamed
I feel your souls
as they twist with rage
I sense the warmth
that you hold so dear
and seek the comfort
that is always near
Soulfully, mournfully
the children moaned.
In the forest as the fire burned.
The hazy day had faded
into a surrealistic dream.
An ancient, scared shroud
covered the world
shielding us from
the darkest deadliest night
We journeyed to the ocean
to hear the white dove's song
Our souls realized our essence
as our bodies died
I love you all
I am so afraid
Just the briefest of looks
then a shallow grave
The bridge was crossed
in the storm that day
Children had come to show the way
This lonely man...
had no more tales to tell
His cold, dead eyes
showed only a vacant, hollow, stare
Itâs still here you know
Left behind
Beside the rose
Have you forgotten?
The smell of summerâs rain
Purple clover fields
softly sprinkled
with ginger rays
The palace tower
still gently sways
Awaiting your touch
Awaiting the day
Do not shed a
In this world of dream-forms
Awake only for seconds at a time
Is there an end to this suffering
This incomprehensible longing
Of my every cell to burst open
And become boundless water again
Is there such a thing as pain
In this default state of alertness
I let every fibre of my being twitch
With a force almost nuclear
Until there is but a whirlwind of chaos
Destructive and devouring
A hunger that feeds upon itself
Self-perpetuating
Self-habituating otherness
Amounting to everything and nothing at all
And from this place of nothingness
I carry with me the depth of the oceans
The spirits of killer whales
The forcefulness of wind
The darkness of the wisest minds
That dwell beneath the earth
Seared into my glass-like skin
The mark of wilderness itself

Dust on this Earth by Malintra-Shadowmoon, literature

Dust on this Earth
For the whiff of the moment,
With closed eyes, timeless:
Everything we ever dreamed,
Everything we ever missed,
Slowly passes by and becomes free.
The moment, it is over ...Everything we are,
Is only dust on this earth,
Like fine grains in the wind.They are the same old songs,
People keep playing and singing,
Like a lonely drop on its path of life,
Which disappears in a huge ocean.
Everything we ever do, fades and goes by,
Like a withered leaf that is blown away from the wind.Everything we are,
Is only dust on this earth,
Like fine grains in the wind.Nothing is forever,
Just heaven and earth survive the time.
Time does not stand still, it ...
What is this thing called: "artist block?"
And does it come from lesser stock?
Is it a fugue I simply cure?
Is it from here or where YOU were?
Is it a malady of mind?
Is it a plague the lepers find?
Is it a beast that preys on fear?
And...is that why it can't touch me, here?
Is it superstitious and obscene?
Is it something that remains unseen?
Is it terror only fools embrace?
Is it rage and jealousy you face?
What is this thing called: "artist block?"
And why does it leave your talent locked?
Why is it something I can't see,
Leaving only MY mind free?
Shadows race past your window,
Mirrors crack tonight.
Children sing in the moment
Of strange, unheard delights.
The sky ignites with fire,
The moon sheds her mask.
Winds whisper promises,
Children seal the house.
A tree has fallen in the forest,
Frozen to the ground.
Shadows shatter with your worries,
Leaving you with only doubts.
Time has passed,
Like sand into glass,
Where the heat of lightning is stored.
Each day is born
From an old, grey soul,
While the night awakens,
Brittle and cold.
Swaying tall grass
Is overcast
By swirling leaves in a storm.
Each moment will last,
From the first tear cast,
Into the silence
Of the darkness before.
Forgotten pebbles lie captured
In streams frozen in time.
Leaves are scattered awkwardly
By a bitter, cold breeze.
Snow-covered mountains stand,
The dark night sings her songs.
Youth play in the hot summer sun,
Days last forever,
As each new days begun.
Colors are painted on a sky never seen,
Our visions make sounds,
For our senses to
I see them shuffling
along the streets
Eyes fixed dreamily down
upon their feet
They are alive
but unaware
Every step brings them closer
to their own private hell
Thousands of whispers swirl
inside the empty air
Unheard now for a million years
In the distance
itâs starting to form
The final storm
The winds
have changed
Life fades
like a dying ember
in the rain
My neighbor waves
I look up
and feel ashamed
How many more days
inside this absurd cage?
Butterflies flutter freely
Over an ancient burial ground
We've buried all our sorrows there
Hoping they won't be found
The burial ground
Is so cold and desolate
The butterflies just flutter above
Not knowing what they've found
Every now and then
I see a glimpse of it
A fleeting flash of something
What is it?
I just don't know
But if you've ever
caught a peek of it
before it was gone
You'll understand
It makes me feel nervous,
scared, dismayed, frightened
And so very, very small
Maybe it's because
I can't get there all the
Starting the day with the heart's prayer
I'm not sure why my tears have arrived
You still matter to my raging heart
Sad, I feel
For all those nerves I burnt in fear
Forgiveness can be a delicate act
When we give it one more chance
"May you be well. May your heart blossom and your soul flourish."
The white of the mountain beckons me
I hear voices echoing from far, beyond the snow lit sky
Was it you?
The heart of my soul dancing through clouds
They caress me through the sparkling air
Glistening white lights follows my gaze
Distant tunes spin with the fallen leaves
Circling to the ground
Swirling through my mind
Your hand in mine
I can see your fingers touching my soul
Long before they grazed my skin
Yes, It was you
The angel of Darkness
Timeless is the beauty of your eyes
Every time I have met their gaze,
I am annihilated , in their presence ~
With every sip
With every pass of wind
You are around my memory
Your soul is here and lingering
I am being reminded
There are these chants
that don't need us but to listen
What do they say today
Tears are filling the eyesight
Hope is a thing with two feathers that I see
Hope is a thing so perfectly beautiful to me
Hope is a thing well it make me always free
Hope is a thing that can erase all the reality
Hope is a thing sometimes I need enough
Hope is a thing it is always written in love
Hope is something well it is a high cost
Hope I find when I'm alone and if I'm lost
Hope is a thing it feels like the warm sun
Hope is also making sometimes many fun
Hope is like a dance between people together
Hope is a word it make me feel always better

If All Seems Very Dark by illustrationsofme, literature

If All Seems Very Dark
I want to disappear from this world
I want to live in a world without hurt
I want to live ,forget and also forgive
Everything that I did do and still I like to live
Sometimes this dark world is very mean
Sometimes this dark world misses green
I want to live in a world where everyone will understand
Why you did come to shake with me my fragile hand
Sometimes it feels like everyone is against me in this
Like there is in this world something I daily do miss
I think I miss a little bit in this world you who it is
But sometimes I pray and ask also for forgiveness
I want to forgive myself and I want to forgive you
But I know too that is a not so easy thing to do
Because it means like if I really want to forgive
Well my gray skies change suddenly into deep blue
The sun will always shine and I love to call you mine
Now I miss something in life and that feels not fine
If the world is mad at me and also if I love to weep
I know everyone will change and real things I keep
The real love
Where do we find the answers
To all the doubtful questions
That linger in the corners
Of a worn and troubled heart
Who will build a lighthouse
To lead the seeking souls to shore
When lost and barely stay' afloat
On troubled water black and foul
If not blowing in the stormy wind
Will the moon and stars step in
Or do we in our darkest hour
Reach out for the sun itself?

On the fly... It might be just what I need...
My dear french teacher once told me that for me to start writing I needed exactly that... To start. She became my dear friend in life and now she became a star and I can see her every time I look inside my dearest memories.
Well if that's what I need, then that's what I decided to do. No draft and no corrections (some), as my drawing teacher says: no eraser.
Welcome to my humble stumbling project. Life is a one chance gig, and everyone knows that a gig is a gig is a gig is a gig.

Fear Itself is a handful of dust,Â
that every person breathes in and out when they're scaredÂ
When all that dust comes together,Â
it becomes clay for molding us Â
Fear Itself has no true form,Â
it can only look like what scares youÂ
Fear Itself switches between Flight Mode and Fight Mode,Â
but sometimes the switch breaks,Â
and Fear Itself Freezes upÂ
Fear Itself is easily manipulatedÂ
Fear Itself sometimes lashes outÂ
Fear Itself can be irrationalÂ
Fear Itself canât help but be scaryÂ
Fear Itself can control youÂ
Fear Itself wants to protect youÂ
Fear Itself is sometimes lonelyÂ
Fear Itself longs for a world where thereâs nothing to be scared ofÂ
Fear Itself is worried about youÂ
Fear Itself is scared about what can happen to you in the worldÂ
But Fear Itself is more scared of what could happen to the world if youâre not in itÂ
Do not fear those who come with axes to lynch your body.
They live in a rut, not knowing when they will fall asleep.
Do not think about how much you have lost or how much you will gain.
Do not drop anchor on the shoals of the earth.
All you see are props, often with a predominance of red.
Although they are only decorations for a moment.
Just as spring gives life, autumn takes it away without asking for permission
Do not fear those who take their last breath
They think they are judges in a case that is not theirs
Unaware that above their heads there is a spirit that turns what comes from the core of darkness into dust
Therefore, do not blindly trust anyone individually
Look through the lens of your soul
And you will see everything through and through
To the core
To the full picture of meaning
Believe that fear is only a mask for the unwillingness to approach the truth
we keep on trying
but the leaves have been read
we are the dying
in this land of the dead
right there before us
this bittersweet array
'tis but a chorus
of nothing but decay
it makes us porous
such a wretched display
there's nothing for us
but more to take away
we keep on lying
but truth cannot be shed
why we're not buying
any of what was said
all here among us
the fallen of the fray
their song becomes us
symphony of decay
it spores like fungus
it reaches all the way
the toll humongous
taking more everyday
we keep relying
on the breaking of bread
still we are dying
in this land of the dead
right there before us
we see the roles we'll play
bittersweet chorus
of nothing but decay
it's playing for us
with no pause or delay
and there's still more dust
than ashes in the tray
we keep denying
each of the roads we've tread
why no one's vying
to speak up for the dead
all here around us
are signs we are the prey
as they surround us
so do sounds of decay
and they confound us
with
To view the world away from
distraction is to view a world
as clear as the ocean or as
glorious as the sky.
Saying goodbye to the woes
of my sanity as the hopes
like the clouds float aimlessly
bye.
Giving light to the dark and
love to the ones who know
not the feeling of the breezes'
kiss their scared skin.
Showing that all one needs
is a moment of atonement
for the follies of their lives
and be forgiven for their sins.
Thereâs a world thatâs lost
to the average man
inside the touch of
a gentle hand
Invisible enchantment whispered
in the morning breeze
In the sound of leaves rustling
in the tranquil nights.
life's rhythm, both near and far
Accept the ordinary,
let your heart be open,
to witness the natures majesty.
In a kitten's sneeze
In the simplest touch
of a raindrop's tease,
Lies a world of magic unseen
Where the ordinary
becomes the extraordinary
In the hum of the city,
the quiet starlit nights.
In the commonplace,
we find delight.
For those who pause
will truly see
The extraordinary awaits,
for us wild and free.
In the rhythm of life,
both far and near.
Embrace the mundane,
open your heart.
Watch the extraordinary
play its part.
In the heartbeat of moments,
songs of our souls.
Every day we can find
so much more.
So, embrace the ordinary...
and you will discover the extraordinary
One last petal
Clung to the rose
Vibrant red
Unfaded
Defiant
Indifferent
To the winter
Drawing nearer
By the hour
One last drop
Of honeydew
Awaits
Next year's bees
Sweet
Rich
Secluded
Preserved
In a crown
Of rugged perules
Into the stormy night
A roaring gust of wind
Lifts the petal
As the wind calms down
The drying petal
Settles in a gentle stream
Upon this brittle vessel
My spirit flows into the ocean
And all my grief and sorrow
Lingers with my worn out flesh.
