The moon’s glow is now the sparkle in my eye
The sun’s rays are now streaks in my hair
The earth walks with me
The universe resides inside me
And I now feel everything.
Feeling
Words elude me-
They rush to my mind all at once
And turn to smoke when I try to speak.
Even when words stay,
Oh they always seem to fall short.
Never quite the right intensity.
Never quite the right label.
The wave of emotions inside me are crashing
Against the walls of my heart,
While drowning the logic in my mind.
Yet satisfying any thirst I can ever have.
Because to “feel” is often called a curse.
To be moved by everything seems weak.
But, oh “to feel” – to feel is to make sense of the rain without trying.
Your senses merge.
Your feet are now with the sand.
Your hands are now with the wind.
These feelings have a home
And its okay if they stay.
Quick Thoughts
Life, set me free from my thoughts because
my mind is racing, and I am losing.
I can’t find the finish line, even worse, I can’t
go back to the start.
Days are starting to blur.
*****************************
The tree grew and we all knew who he would be.
We knew the fruit it would bare.
We Knew it all.
But we didn’t know the faces of those who sought
its shade.
We didnt know the birds that would land on its branches
Or whose initials were carved in a heart.
Healing
A shift of consciousness.
To feel that my heart has found a safe home.
Falling into a peaceful abyss, where we can trustfall into ourselves. Where the mind can catch my insecurities, wash them away, and bring me back. If I can fall into- in order to come up, then I am flying.
Flying away from myself to find myself. It is where you’ve kissed the edges of the universe and have found where you stand in the sand of man.
And even in the finding, you realize the ever-changing tree…This journey one must take, YOU are always the pilot but the plane, the track, the destination are always moving. So, always adapt!
I am flying. I am finding my telephone line where I may stay. Where I a may gaze. Where I may lift off and find the next.
Simply Monday Thoughts
Wondrous dirt below me, wash me clean.
Because the ways of the caves
have poisoned the innately good
and have made my memories, slaves.
Sand/ Sad
I think that my emotions sometimes carry me to an undesired place.
And the more I fight to leave,
the further my feet sink into the sand.
Once I build enough strength,
I will pull myself out.
Meanwhile?
I am trying to smell a rose I see in the distance.
Blue
Blue sky,
Oh blue sky,
find me because I am lost.
Find me because words elude me right now
and the warm sun is but a memory.
And my memories are fleeting.
If you find me, remind me
that I was once a wild flower
dancing through the sky
with the wind as my guide .
Remind me because I need a familiar
place to land my feet.
Making First-Time Feelings Last
Try to retain
innocence in something.
Revert back to the initial excitement
of first encounters.
Try not to let everything that was once
breath-taking,
become everyday air.
Refrain from such expiration
on our thoughts and our emotions.
Let these butterflies
roam and flutter
and reach further corners of our heart and mind
Breathe it in once more
And let it consume you.
Get lost in the familiar.
You; 2014
Red lips stain yours,
your eyes meet mine.
My thoughts are yours,
your intentions are mine.
It’s a late hour.
It’s a dark night. A darker room.
But your warmth is felt.
And it’s the clearest
I’ve ever seen you.
Futuro Houses
So late last year, I became fascinated with these futuro houses. I couldn’t stop reading about them!
Little bit of info:
A Finnish man named Matti Suuronen designed these UFO-shaped houses during the 1960s-70s. It was a product of the Finland’s faith in technology and their optimistic view in a space-age movement. There’s conflicting info on how many were built and how many have survived (some say between 60-96). There are some fanatics out there that are collecting info/photos of these Futuro Houses from all over the globe. They were taken off the market in the 70s, and many have been demolished. Most are publicly owned – only 2 seem to be in a museum.
When I found out there were 2 in Texas, I had to go see for myself. (And later on one in Florida) The first one is in Rockwall, it is off Highway 276 W and it is completely abandoned – with graffiti and empty beer bottles. It was interesting being inside. They are rather small – hard to believe that was suppose to be a home. But you can clearly see where the bathroom was. and the electricity lines…It is just off the road. See pictures below of the Rockwall Futuro
I then visited the one in Royse City which is privately owned. I used http://www.thefuturohouse.com/ to help me get more information on the location of these futuros. This one was a lot of fun because I had only seen the google maps aerial view of the futuro – as I drove up, I was so excited to see it in someone’s backyard. They had a loose dog, but I HAD to meet them and go inside… and I did. I met the son, who advised me that his sister had wanted one and she used it as a room. This one was in better condition and was actually used as a bedroom for many years. It is now more as a storage unit, but was still very cool. I was given the father’s telephone # for additional questions, and I lost it 😦
I then was in Florida, and had to go see the one in Pensacola!
