standing in the same place

moving my feet forwards

but never seeming to get anywhere

trying to branch out

but the leaves stay curled inwards

aching for the sun to warm me from the inside out

feeling as though frost is settling in for a long winter

wanting the days to move on to better times

instead they only seem to slip by

a bitter cold /
seeping into my bones /
leeching into my soul /
hoping it won't be permanent /
that it will thaw out once again /
no frostbite to numb my heart /
as the days grow shorter /
and the light doesn't penetrate /
sadness tends to sweep across /
the winter has finally come /
trying to hold onto hope /
even with my numb fingers

with each beat of a dying heart /
with each breath misting in the air /
we are reminded that life is still here /
that wonders abound if you care to look /
that the sun's rays may be shorter /
and the days may be colder /
but life still pumps and thrives /
even through the long dark nights /
may the stars' glimmer not be faint /
but a bright beacon to herald us until dawn /
alone in a cold wasteland /
be reminded that we are not truly alone /
for another lies just a little way off /
saddened by their own solitude /
heart mending from being broken /
needing a new spark /
to bring it back to true life

I like this a lot, even if my darker side screams out. Seems you have captured the essence of hope. Very nice

Happy New Year! Perhaps my muse will return in 2013.... one can always hope.

why do words always end up getting jumbled
meanings misunderstood
simple things become complicated matters
for no reason that can be seen
what seems like something good
can fumble and be broken
with one little slip of the tongue

ready for the pain
fearing it more as you wait
knowing it's inevitability
once it comes
it doesn't seem so bad
but the slow ache grows
feeds upon itself
a dullness to the sunshine
as it reaches for a peak
bruises will fade
swelling will go down
eventually the pain turns to memory
life does move on
one simply has to learn
how to keep that knowledge
and not be trapped
in the pain of current situations

the bright sunshine of spring
is pouring through the open window
the air a warm caress
with only a tint of cool to make one smile
the birds have all awoken
the trees have started to bud
tiny green specks that speak of life
it's hard to not to be happy
as the world becomes alive

fluttering in the breeze
dancing in the cold
moved without purpose
guided by a hand
the eyes cannot see
embraced by something more
like the glittering stars
that somehow sparkle in the dark
a light that never disappears
no matter how dim they appear
on a cloudy night

old friends and new joys /
remembering the past and what once was /
looking to where everyone is now headed /
bright lights on the horizon /
things to be thankful for /
while looking back on sad farewells /
knowing that the future holds death /
along with the birth of new possibilities /
some friends seem as though no time has passed /
when in truth the weeks have turned to months /
but the test of a true friend /
is how quickly you can loose yourself /
in talking with each other

as the summer sun grows in the sky /
and the wheels keep passing by /
I hear the birds singing a song /
and the hum of the city moving along /
the world is alive and breathing /
the mass of humanity constantly seething /
it is a good day to be alive /
one where everyone can simply thrive /

I don't normally rhyme... but every now and then....

grey melancholy days

wanting to spend the whole time doing nothing

then guilt sets in when not being productive

yet everyone needs a moment for relaxation and reflection

only too afraid to reflect too deeply

trying to stay nonchalant

trying not to care

but the mind likes to work on overdrive

doesn't like to stop

so I stare out at the roiling clouds

watching the rain patter upon my window panes

wondering where my sunshine went

when these are supposed to be happy days

a never ending war

between breaking down the walls

letting others see my true self

and building them back up again

afraid to be vulnerable

just as terrified not to

they say it is better to feel sorrow and pain

than to be soley numb

wanting to feel life whole heartedly

yet still terrified of watching that heart be trampled

I don't do well with not being in control

but sometimes the thing we want

is to let go

and hope that someone will be there to catch us

rather than let us fall
