Patterns

Follow the patterns of life.....sometimes you will get your masterpiece.

 

 

Patterns on the wall

paint pictures

without words

 

Spectacular colors

leave me gasping

for air to breathe

 

Painting an outline of

 Your face into my heart

a’las would be fatal

 

My love and flesh

 Whimsically, I shall not

 Give in to your desires

 

Turn your soul away

and dash vastly toward

 the moon beams 

 

Clocks ticking loudly

I run ever so fast

Time is running out

 

Stumbling I fall

Onto my heart’s

Lifeless beat

 

Following patterns

Leading me back

To where I began

 

-Repeat-

 

Author's Note

Sometimes our lives are like patterns.....we follow their outlines in hopes they will take us where we need to be....but find ourselves repeating the process until we get it right.

beautiful visual you created here Amy and facinating representation patterns... I think human nature often makes us repeat processes over and over again... strange that we don't even realise we do it half the time. I can definitely identify with this... repetition = reinforcement = understanding... I think it's all part of the learning process ;)

I like the representation of ideas in this piece and I find it very interesting. There is one point of departure from a seemingly decided course of action that has been ignored and leaves me uneasy. It is the fact that the routine is repeated all over again, even though you have decided that it is fatal. There is a missing piece of the puzzle that will lead to survival and a new direction.

There were a couple of word choices that I don't understand. Mind you, that doesn't mean they're incorrect, only that I didn't quite understand what you are trying to convey. You say:


My love and flesh
Whimsically, I shall not
Give in to your desires

Wasn't sure what you meant by the use of the word "whimsically" in describing not giving in to desire. Are you saying your heart is fickle and perverse? Wasn't sure, so I thought I'd ask.

The second thing I had questions about was this passage:

Turn your soul away
and dash vastly toward
the moon beams

Can something dash vastly, as in enormously? I wondered about this also.

Thanks for sharing.

Sometimes we have to break away from those patterns and take a different path. Sam
