Seeking ...

It's been a long time ... I know. While I don't have a ton of time to write much, I wanted to at least share something I wrote a few months ago. Just a little poem ... that I hope you like.

Seeking

Jumping into a sea of confidence…
That is what I seek…
Flying above the vast clouds that fill a beautiful blue sky…
That is what I ask for…
Climbing atop a mountainous terrain…
That is my greatest fear…
Wishing on a star …
That is what gives me hope …
Understanding humanity …
My greatest uncertainty …
Seeking You …
My only comfort …

A Cloud Filled Moment

I wrote another poem the other day ... I suppose you could say I've 'picked' up the 'poetry pen' again ... it's just a few lines of my inner thoughts ... sometimes, I just have to get them OUT of my head ... enjoy and thank you for reading!

Picking apart their consistency, I wonder what they’re made of …

As they travel through the sky, with no destination thought out …

Large, small, medium, irregular, solid, translucent … no two are the same …

They’re perhaps like you and I …

Made of the same consistency, but no two are alike … Beautiful, unshaped, awkward; always 'works in progress' …

Seeking ...

It’s not very often that I write poetry anymore …

Perhaps it’s the lack of inspiration …

Or, it just might be that I don’t have the ‘gift’ anymore …

But, I’d like to think those things we’re ‘good at’, we never lose …

It’s not like God gives it to you, and then takes it away …

I think it’s always there … even in dry spells … even in dark days …

Here is a poem I just wrote today … God bless each of you!

Jumping into a sea of confidence…
That is what I seek…
Flying above the vast clouds that fill a beautiful blue sky…
That is what I ask for…
Climbing atop a mountainous terrain…
That is my greatest fear…
Wishing on a star …
That is what gives me hope …
Understanding humanity …
My greatest uncertainty …
Seeking You …
My only comfort …

A Poem ...

This poem was written by the one and only, Erin Elliott, my little sister ... I thought it was TOO excellent not to share! Perhaps you might find it rather solemn, as did I, but please know, this was a pivotal and changing moment in her life ... one that I feel, has brought this beautiful piece of prose for all to enjoy!

Hope you like it!

Untitled
It’s been a short day.
Hot & unforgiving.
My head aches.
& i can’t tell if I'm
still high or just tired.
The summer night
is taking over.
And the sun
is far from us now.
The sound of beats
are filling my ears.
& those dreams come
back to taunt me.
Segments of my life,
I’ve totally forgotten.

& this chair does not
make matters any better.
worn ragged material,
hating my skin.

Beauty...

Here is another poem for all you poetry lovers out there!
Let me know what you think!

Beauty comes from within...
...like a rare jewel, it stays forever...
Intact and unique...
...Only the beauty of the soul is what matters...
The outward reality is nothing to be troubled about...
...Like the rare jewel, it's what is on the inside that remains forever...
Is your soul like a rare jewel?
Is your reality your very utter ness of mortality?
Take your beauty, dream it through...
...Re-visit mortality and unlock your reality...
Unleash your beauty and like a jewel...
Let it remain forever...
