Favorite Quote:
"Youth is a blossom whose fruit is love; happy is he who plucks it after watching it slowly ripen." - The Count of Monte Cristo


Kept in the room of windy gestures,
Held with a natural will,
The blue fails to leave the creased painting.
Walls surround me in a 4x4 fashion,
And all I can do is look into the perplexed ceiling.
How deep and beautiful it seems.
Curiosity has the better of me,
As I can only hope to search for answers.
It is not a time for questions, but it is a time for roaming and wandering.
The time for color and variety;
Where white swirls and winged creatures can float by.
The sun pleases the velvet atmosphere with rays of light,
And I'm left with a smiling sensation for more.
I don't lust for the same feeling,
But I am patient and longing for another touch.
Depth has its limits,
But I must find it with my stricken ears and eyes no matter what.
So I begin with the swirls that still hang overhead.
How majestic they move;
Each motion is similar to the last,
But their form is always altering as well.
They are free within natural weather;
Gliding along to a rhythm which can only be heard by those who truly listen.
Seeing their work is a simple feat,
Where as hearing their whispered songs is an honor to behold.


The author's comments:
I wrote this verse one day while sitting idle in my choir class. We weren't doing anything, so I pulled out my phone and began to type away. I wasn't exactly in the greatest mood at the time, but that's seems pretty often these days to find myself down in the dumps... Ah well. Writing helps me feel better, so I will continue doing so. I hope this verse may help anyone who reads it open up their mind to creativity and curiosity; please allow yourselves to experience new things, people, and ideas. Don't let the ignorance that so blissfully flows through us wipe away your innocence. Just live and learn from previous mistakes, that's what I hope to learn how to do myself one day.
