I promise I did do some artistic endeavors over spring break, and I'll get around to posting them sometime soon. :)
As for today...back in the old doodly swing of things. Yay school!

Day 37
Fleeting
Blue
Reflections
Like the violet eyes
Of twilight that search
The depths of my heart.
Not knowing what the smoke
Will uncover beneath all the leaves.
Mysteries hidden from the beginning of
Time never ending, a love lost in swirls of color.
A feeble dream held up by webs of diamonds woven
By a desire that is coaxed to the surface for only a moment.

Day 31
Fighting over Windowpanes.
Let your feelings take you
Where your dreams can’t.
Let emotion shake you
Till the surface sparkles.
Let derision break you
Into pieces of shattered light.
But most of all dear love,
My friend,
Let your heart
Win.

Day 30
I fail at day 29. Too many exams to study for!!
So, I'm copping out and making a silly poem for today. Cause I have ANOTHER exam to study for!
There once was a man named Mcgee.
Who's hair he grew down to his knee.
It was icky and gross,
And kind of morose,
And no chick would date him for free.
~~~~~~~
"I'm stupid!" Said cat to the frog
As the two of them sat on a log.
"No you're not!" said the green.
"You don't know what you mean!"
"You're just lost in a mental-ish fog."
~~~~~~~
My curtains are made out of glue.
And I really don't know what to do...
They won't open or close,
and get stuck don'tchaknows!
Impulse buys never come through.

Day 27
Ode to MJ
Melanie’s brushing her teeth
It’s funny, but kind of beneath
Me to make a poem ‘bout that
Since she might think that I am a brat
No matter, she will love me still (probably)
And I will write poems until
She sees in the words passing through
That I kinda ‘totes love her too!

Day 25
Wrap my arms
Around your heart
in a gaze.
A stripe of sunset
Reflects in your eyes
And I reach for it
With an open soul.
Submerged in the memory
That does not yet exist.

Day 24
Just playing around with some song lyrics. :)
Sweet sugar glare of blank white spaces
Unwritten lines fall in their places
I dash the ink across their faces
Before the time begins
I turn the clock back 16 minutes
Hoping everything is in its
Place
As I rewind
I knit the moments fast together
Movies of my life a feather
Floating on the breeze the weather
Brings
As it sings
Look at the way the morning
Rises in the East
Just turn your footprints towards the sun
And feel released
Don’t let the joy within your heart
Surrender to the beast
As the willows sway
You’ll look back on this day
And know I never left you in the least

Day 20
I wonder how many people actually read this blog...
Ah well.
Zach and I had an idea for a T-shirt a long time ago, and I just found this picture and it made me giggle. So I had to share it. I don't even remember what it was supposed to be...

Day 18
Just Notes
Trying to be
Something I dream
Is hard.
Other people
I believe
Are better than me.
This will always be,
Yes.
But that's all right
In the end.
Cause all I need to do
Is follow His will
For me.
Instead of trying to be.

Day 17
"Make a tree good and its fruit will be good,
or make a tree bad and its fruit will be bad,
for a tree is recognized by its fruit."

Day 15
Insteadses
My eyes flash
Behind the tarps
Held down by pins
Holes a-plenty
Struck by
Lightning streaks
Ultraviolet
Unseen colors
Across canvases
I dream
Soaked in sleep

Day 14
I'M SO SORRY I MISSED A DAY!! Poor little Day 13...it was doomed to be unlucky. :(
Life has been crazy...so strike one for me!
But today I did something super random. I colored a bottle. It turned out pretty cool.

Day 12
{&]
Believe it or not,
There are people out there
Who care
About who you are.
Believe it or not,
One act of kindness
Though mindless
Can touch a heart of stone.
Believe it or not,
As you travel your days
Your ways
Show others who you are.
Believe it or not,
An innocent glance
Can trance
A soul into a trap.
Believe it or not,
You can overcome
The numb
That settles in your thoughts.
Believe it or not,
To become wise
Your eyes
Must choose between paths they see.
Believe it or not,
You don’t have to cope
There’s hope
For those who seek it.
Believe it or not,
I want you
To
Believe it.

Day 11
I sang yesterday and it was fun!
So I sang again today.
Yay for cheesy Karaoke!!
(I get this song stuck in my head a lot. :) )

Day 10
I tried recording other songs but they just weren't workin out so I said "To heck with it! I'll just sing something off the top of my head."
This is the result.
This is the result.

Day 9
But I Wouldn't Live There...
the same
imprint on your heart.
A touch of blue
the hue
on the walls, in the air.
A heaviness itself suspends
upends
a normal day or night.
Mothers and their babies cry
or sigh
with relief for the end of pain
A place of healing, hope,
A rope
Tied to life's coattails.
It will all be all right
Tonight
The nurse reflects a brighter smile.

Day 8
Sooo...I did something artistic today.
However, it is a surprise birthday present for one of my friends.
If I posted it here, it would give away the surprise!!
It's in the mail right now...how exciting!
But anyway, I'll make up a little poem just to keep things interesting.
Hmm...let's see...
Little Freddy had a bear
That he took just everywhere
To school, to work, to grocery stores.
He even took it out-of-doors.
It's cute, but kind of weird, you see
Cause Fred is kind of...thirty-three.
The end.
Have a great day 8!

Day 5
Unfinished
Unfinished
Words begin to walk along the page
Tripping over themselves
In the effort to begin
A story, poem, song
Steps toward a destination
Unknown
An ending
That begins with
Day 4
Today, I stood for two hours with hundreds of people and sang Carmina Burana. It was fun, and I am exhausted!
That was my artistic endeavor of the day.
Here’s a picture to make this post more interesting.
Day 3
Reality
Embraced by the chill
Of the coming snow
Wind rushes across my skin
Through my veins.
It’s cold, I feel it
Beneath my jacket
Beneath my skin.
It settles in my chest
Like a crystal
Radiating frozen rays
Inside the circle of itself.
A cold, nestled
Within the warmth
Of my pulse
Suspended by air
Surrounded by warmth
But still ice.
Day 1
My mother once asked me what my dreams were.
When I was five, I wanted to be a princess.
at seven, to be a ballerina.
Eleven, a teacher.
Fifteen, a writer.
Seventeen, in love.
Eighteen, a teacher again.
Nineteen…well that brings me here.
All I know is that I want to be a dreamer. No matter what that means, no matter where I am or where it takes me.
And art is how I dream…
Poems, pictures, paintings, drawings, music, ponderings…I’m gonna try it all.
This life is something too short and too beautiful to pass by—I want to discover it in it’s entirety.
So I’m embarking on this journey. A journey of faith, of love, of life…
And of beauty.
I want to document it and share it. It’ll be super cool I swear.
Join me?
