"Bits Of My Today…"

 

There is a truism of life - 

all about becoming who we are to be 

…and what it takes.  

 

…and if we are willing…

…and if we aren't…

and all the dealing -

decisions by the hour, day, week, month, breath -

the breathing when you can't draw a breath,

the waiting and waiting in between -

knowing just how quick eternities happen,

and how long moments really are…

reaching - and it's just beyond grasp,

always and always beyond

and yet this once - THIS ONCE,

the touch - oh the touch of starlight!

and the FALL - thefallthefallthefalling awayawayaway

…dreams…remember the dreams…remember

having dreams

 

*****************************************

 

Life has such an intensity

and the edges - Gawd,

the edges are just so SHARP

and real.

Focused …focused…

And to stand and gaze out

çross the end of the world

the end of time

the end of being…

just nails me to the clouds

and draws me along for the

…ride.

 

********************************************

 

Magyk is such a feisty, tasty, and self-less dream…

to weave heart and soul into tone and shades of light - 

sighs and wishes

soft tears

echoes…

 

Some words define

others delight…

and my mind DOES apostrophe after others - go figure the levels of meanings.

 

**********************************************

 

yes, there YOU are - 

and she KNOWS your buttons

after all they are likely her own as well

and she knows …knows…

perceived slights and choices made

and missing and wishing

and so much more

always so much …more.

 

Moms do that…

and sometimes dads as well -

think Hungarian Princess

and you touch the fires of hell.

 

 

**********************************************

 

This one made me think

of the deliberate means

meanings seldom have…

 

***********************************************

 

I've a small, framed print

just a left-view from the keyboard

a mind-view from the screen

a world-view of existence

and a life's view dreamed.

 

I met the artist,

acquired it from her - literally

couldn't afford the full-sized reality

but she had a light-about her

and was hiding the original from sight-and-sale.

 

I came back and back again

and spoke of "moments" and meanings

and thoughts and wanderings

places and times and yes - of visions too.

 

I see her eyes reflecting back into mine

with every view.

 

 

Good morning.

Chris

I love how this expresses the thoughts that come flowing in as morning opens our eyes and we begin the day. So many beautiful, true, and amazing thoughts here. I love how it flows as if the reader is right there with you as you begin and sort through the deep thoughts and wanderings of a writer's mind. Do non-writers or non-artists understand this train of thought and all the things that tickle our minds? I am so glad to have read this.
"the waiting and waiting in between -
knowing just how quick eternities happen,
and how long moments really are…" Just one of the amazing parts of this I love.

Each of us wanders the Cafe in our own time ...and the voices we hear touch us. And each touch leaves a mark and forms a perception that IS our humanity

I would like to say this is my favorite, but, see then I would be lying. Even my favorite within this one work of art is to difficult to determine. I come by and read often thinking I have just read my favorite, but my heart knows that there are simply too many favorites to choose from. Would be much more true for me to say, YOU are a favorite :)

This... this is my favourite, Chris!
What a wonderful write.

I followed the comment you left on my writing here and I am ever so glad I did that! This is an amazing piece, and I really, and truly enjoyed it. Thank you for sharing it and keep on writing!

These and this were and was a morning's visit(s)... pauses and perceptions shared. It's what we as Poets and Writers do. I hope you find you want to come by again and share a thought or perception ...or ten.

Good Morning .. THAT means we made it .. lived to see another sunrise ..

Truth gets cloudy..now-and-then .. and it is hard to see the Me's..or You's
Walls are painted in bright and impressive colors
And lives are not quite transparent .. but some do possess x-ray vision/visions..

I have a picture of my Brother and Me, to the left of my puter.. Had this pic before I found him.
It meant a lot, before... and means even MORE now that we've met ..I can hear His voice
I can feel His hugs ..It's magic ..and It's real..over and over again...........................

Forgive my ramble...but that's what we do, as we travel longer/along ...

I'll take a strong cuppa, with extra cream.... :)....

A wonder-full write..........Thanks Chris.

It was a pleasure to read these bits! The first two stanzas were my favorites but all of it was beautiful and well written :)

We are as we breathe... and the coffee held out for awhile.

One of your best, my friend, really. Such is your work that a critique is just a lame a*s attempt at a compliment.:)
