2013 – Page 2 – The Word Rummager

According to Shaun ((http://prayingforoneday.wordpress.com/):

The idea behind the award is to commit to showing humility and love toward all others, and to enhance these virtues in ourselves and others. It is so to encourage ten other blogs by co-nominating them because they show such traits as well. Key points then, as stated by another recipient of the award, are to:

Show humanity and humility
Show love
Be yourself
Don’t be others
Don’t gossip
Share the award with 10 others
Link back to the person who nominated you for this award
Display the award logo with pride on your blog/site.

That’s it!

if wishes were breaths
I’d be panting your name
hoping the ghost of you
would linger with me
as mornings are toughest
waking to dark
and it’s cold in my heart
til I whisper for you
and it all starts again

so much more rattling around

wanting to find a way out
it seems like magic swirling around
sometimes consuming
more than I intended

glimpses escaped over the years
stories to tell
but not until recently
did I give myself leave to speak
now I can’t shut up

veering wildly across platforms
no compass
feeling very gonzo writing with no edits
letting the freak flag unfurl
wondering where I’m headed

today, this moment, I’m questioning why
that’s not a good sign
usually I stop dancing with abandon
and abandon the dance to think
and I’m not tired yet

I want to let go

don’t wanna know the science  behind fire breathing
 don’t need to know how card tricks work
 wanna take levitation and disappearing acts at face value
 wanna gasp at the sword swallower

don’t tell me about genetics
wanna believe I’m unique
don’t teach me mathematics
wanna find patterns in nature alone

don’t wanna stop believing in fairies
don’t need to told about hell
wanna see angels in my garden
wanna be fooled please again and again

we’re all just filling time
so many ways, shapes
busyness for no reason
languishing
awaiting answers to questions unasked
ducks lined up neatly
is not the whole story
freedom surrounds, but not really
the popular paths are open
wherever we want to go, within reason
we have all we ask for
in secret prayers long ago
but we find ourselves
bereft and alone
and wishing for less
less to keep track of
less to answer for
and wanting more
more open fields
more open days

Year: 2013

whispers

with abandon

please fool me

how we fill time
