Clouds and randomness

August 30, 2007 at 11:13 pm (poem, thoughts, writing)

Today is one of those beautiful blue sky days.

The kind that makes the troubles on your mind fade.

Today is one of those spectacular cloud days.

The kind that makes you want to lay out side and die days.

It would be ok.

Because of the way the calm pulls itself over you, makes life for an instant…feel complete.

Stare out unfocused and watch them drift by, wishing every second that I could live that life.

And then at that moment when you feel it, when you feel the blessing of this day.

When you feel your gears slow down,

When you feel it all float away,

in that moment

you felt heaven for a split second.

There are black boards and white boards..

Why don’t they have navy blue boards?

———————————————–

Looking up at the sky brings me to ponder.

Toe wonder if there are others like me that walk staring up.

Marveling at the terrific blue hue spotted with white marshmallows.

Do they think what I’m thinking?

I hope everyone takes time to look.

I know lives are busy, but it’s more like they are busy wasting life.

Whats the point if you don’t enjoy the sky, the trees, the laughter, the pain, the fear, the friendships, or the love.

It’s an amazing world.

Enjoy it.

——————————————

Drifting off to another plane of consciousness

I get a feeling I enjoy.

I start to go through my archived memories.

Missing some times, loathing some times.

Paging through the past like scenes from a move.

But it’s not a move, it’s my life.

Even at this young age it seems a lifetime has passed.

A whole world of events already gone.

But not really gone.

Savor the moment

Take risks

Because that’s the only real way to make the most of what we have

It won’t kill you, so why not?

Decided to make it all one post.  Wrote out that stuff while walking to class and during class today.

    Matt,
    Yesterday I was able to enjoy the afternoon outside and it was beautiful and I felt as you described in the top portion.
    Isn’t is beautiful!
    I wish every day could be like that!

    Also, there is just something about watching the clouds float past.
    I have a dream of one day riding in hot air balloon and going up to the clouds, corny I know, but I have dreamed of a moment like that.

    I am glad that you seemed to enjoy the “blessing of the day”

    You are young but never take days like that for granted, they seem to pass quicker than you think.

    LIZ

    I like these. Even though they seem random, they are somewhat connected. ;)
