Don't Blink..

Laying under a tree
wind blowing in the leaves
talking life with my best friend
Not wanting the good times to end

Sometimes we wish we were still kids
Posting our colored pictures on the fridge
playing barbies and GI Joe with our friends
Getting $2 from strangers for ice cream will soon end

The stuff we care about will soon change
soon will soon be boys, friends and fitting in
We'll all party and drink
Consequences, we wont take hte time to think

We all struggle to survive
Trying Mary J for the first time
They cut through you like a knife
the peer pressures of life

Afraid to leave the comfort of home
Its now time to make our own
To make some hard decisions by yourself
nobody there to reach on the tallest shelf

We're getting older, becoming adults
All going to college or university
It's all part of the journey
Whether we like it or not

Rain Puddles

Rubber Boots. Rain Coats. Umbrellas. Millions of water droplets falling from the clouds. Walking down the old pot holey road. Water flowing down the cracks like tiny little streams. Rain Drops rolling off the leaves, as the smell of maple fills the air. Washing away all of Nature's Imperfections. trying not to get wet, i sit on a bench and let my mind wander. i imagine tiny children in my head... .. jumping and splashing in the puddles. Without a worry in the world, Getting soaked from head to toe. A little boy tells me, JUMP! ...No.. I'll get wet and i might get sick.. so! JUMPP! its SO FUN, Lady! Please.. Then i realized. Life is full of worries. Bills to pay. Putting food on the table. Everything is a worry. So why not Live, Laugh and Love. Live your life the way you want to, Have fun. Laugh while having that fun. and Love the people you live with, in your life. Love to Laugh with those people. And LOVE yourself. I've Learned this from one friend, and i fucking LOVE her for teaching me to just Live. Laugh. and Love. Its the best way you could possibly live. Live like your dieing. Laugh until your insides hurt and you can't breath. and Love like you've never loved before, but most importantly love like you'll never love again. Dont live for yesterday, the past is the past. Don't live for tomorow because you never know what will happen. Live for today. Take what you have and appreciate it. Friends. Boyfriends. Girlfriends. Husbands. Wifes. Brothers. Sisters. Everything that matters to you. You Live with it. You Laugh with it. You LOVE it! So go. Live. Laugh. Love. Be a kid for 2 seconds. Be wild and free. Have too much spirit and jump in a puddle!

Rickety Wooden Dock

Clear as a mirror
atmosphere dreary and somber
calm and peaceful
on an old rickety dock

i sit and ponder,
chipped paint. rusty nails
the wood old and brittle
creaking beneath me
sky is gloomy and grey

trees reflect on the water with beauty

the lake is as clear as a mirror

Foggy mist on the surface

i take it all in with a deep breath

inhale.. exhale..

Rain drops begin to make ripples

getting bigger and bigger

Orange and red leaves fall to the ground, soon to be crunchy and brown the rain hits my face

Nature's perfections i embrace, dripping down my nose and cheeks hiding all of my tears, and the signs of my fears, of growing up and life, all the things id sacrifice Black clouds roll in,
a storm soon begins, dark shades of grey fill the sky, the rain becomes heavier, thunder rolls with boldness, Lightning bolts lights up the sky, dancing in every way, Dissapearing and fading away, The Sky clears up, and the rain stops. Drops of water falling from the leaves above.
drip, drip, drip, into the lake it falls. I get up and leave.

............Just like the storm.
