"Being Me..."

"Being Me..."

Another price to admission...


"Being Me..."


I keep returning here...


I wander a bit

see a bit


read and listen ...a bit


and return here


pause

softly breathe

daydream

think

breathe again


then... am off to wander

all through the glass


the whole world -


all the voices and moments ...beckoning.

drawing,

pausing as I always do...


then return here

pause

softly breathe

daydream

remember how to think

and dream again

- breathe again

be ...again


then off to wander ...again

to return again


here...


and BE ...again.

I've returned and paused in your words every time. The repetitive wording really works here. Nice write.

I appreciate you and your thoughts... and look forward to seeing you visit again.
Hey I like the way you make something feel fleeting yet sense is in tow. :D I'll have to check out your other works too!

You were supposed to.
There are some who have disappeared without warning, who I hope will someday return to dream and be here with us again. :(
I guess not everybody loves it like we do, though.

Thank you I feel like I am blessed. Im never alone
Finding ourselves isn't always easy with the outside world beckoning. Whether through online activities or daydreams. Being in the here and now can be challenging. At least, that's what I've been finding lately.

Good one, Chris.

And a happy Sun-day to you as well Fran. Good seeing friends.
And just be again :)

Oh the time I need to just be and to recharge from my interactions with the world!

I always worry about mis-interpreting what people have written, but for me this captures perfectly how I feel. And that even though I crave this time, I do have to 'remember how to think and dream again'

Nice seeing you here, come by anytime.
I love the arrangement of the words on the page. The effect, to me, is grand poetry.
