I work well with others when they leave me alone

Choosing softness is one of the greatest displays of strength there is

Poetry is a bird
perched lightly on the back
of all that is fickle
and dangerous in this world...

Searching for light,
Finding only milky glass,
The eye turns within.

SMART and STAR
Your personal goals
You set the bar
For your own control
The language of
Manipulation managed
By institutional narrative
The investors advantage

A paragraph of text on a white page. It reads: “Amanda, You look at life Through the eyes of a child, And I don't know where you got them, And it's making me very uncomfortable. Please, stop.”

I can't stop thinking about the dedication on the first page of the book I just started reading.

in a specimen jar

even though she has the gentlest hands

she might remove your wings

Her love,
Torn and overcome
His Men,
Too late to stem the gouge
Or the tracks of fatal blood

He was dragged
An escort, without a cart
And nailed to the Castle's mort

Her rage,
Never turned to morn
Now fire, reigns forevermore #poetry #writing #blueskypoetry

a close up of a woman 's face with the words " did iqs drop sharply while i was away " Alt: a close up of Ellen Ripley's face with the words " did IQ's drop sharply while i was away?"

Mercy was the key,
That opened the airlock,
Heart's fatal flaw.

You can dance without music
It doesn’t matter
Day or night
Close your eyes
Listen
To your
Imagination
It sings
#Distant_melodies
If you take the time
You can dance
You fly
Anywhere
Sunk in those eyes brown black
Grey or #blue

The dripping rain cries-
From clouds no longer shy
Until finally we must ask
Why?

The street is a river
That flows to the Piper,
And his mystic music
Musings ringing in heads thick.

a close up of a red object with the words dave this conversation can serve no purpose anymore Alt: a close up of a HAL3000 red light camera lens with the words "dave this conversation can serve no purpose anymore"

Blade meets the kernel,
Dividing the "yes" from "no,"
The binary, breaks.

Steel has no #side,
Only the cold hunger
Of a sharp edge.

It waits in silver,
A tool only used,
When my world needs... teeth.

Stay strong and remember
Even in the coldest months
Flowers find strength to grow
Hold on for another second
And another minute
And another day
Please stay
With me.

Kurt Vonnegut quote: "Hello, babies. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the Summer and cold in the Winter. It's round and wet and crowded. At the outside, babies, you've got about a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, babies - "god damn it, you've got to be kind."

Kurt Vonnegut quote: "I urge you to please notice when you are happy, and exclaim or murmur or think at some point: 'If this isn't nice, I don't know what is.'"

"Dahlia Tranquility. Very attractive clear white petals with a white inner collar". The orange of the bloom's centre is bristling with life. This solitary beauty is surrounded by the greenery of the garden. In the background is a white statue depicting St. Joseph cradling the Baby Jesus. The day was overcast with a light misting of rain descending on us all. It felt precious, this bit of grace. I still come down to Mercy Hospice, and each time, find a simple bit of loveliness, peace, and compassion. ...and can't we all just use a little more of that in this life?

Do you get anxiety going new places not knowing the parking situation or are you normal?

Blue jay suspended mid-air with wings spread and tail fanned. Snowy background with bare branches. The bird faces left, feathers nicely detailed.

hurry - take the shot
this pose is not real comfy
we must love you too

empty vessel
echoes of once
chaotic good
and bad avatars hung
manifestations scratching
at the doors untouched
reality is broken in two
and the red waters flow

Argue and then #crash.

Sun shining behind fluffy clouds.

"We hold onto threads that aren't visible to anyone else. A bond, an anchor, a wind to blow out the dust, givers make merry. Walking together under a bright sun to bloom beneath. Tracing galaxies with our fingertips over flesh seeped in desire that decides not to leave. Choosing to stay, to know."
