Starry night, decieved eyes
06.24.08 (11:20 am) [edit]A child curious as many, head full of ideas, no concrete beliefs, the mind wanders, the body follows brisk feet eagerly navigate a narrow path, a route often taken, rarely enjoyed, weary feet slow to a hault, breathe, a calm mind continues the trail, challenges encountered become lessons learned, lapses evolve to examples, as the trail widens the trees begin to clear, a sky of dewy leaves becomes an endless ocean, sapphire empyrean broken only by piercing starlight, as the forest disappears and concedes to open fields, difficulty degrading sparking anticipation, the beauty of the surrounding, clouded by vast excitement, eyes close, heart slows, mind is clear, although the journey is merely continued, the feeling is new, darting eyes capture images of life, embrace the earth, release your soul, let your inner self shatter ridiculous insecurities, a tired body dashes for open water, cold moisture dissipates heated skin, a confused mind stares at an aged face and argent hair. -Josh Montoya
This old dirt road 3/27
03.27.08 (7:31 pm) [edit]Life is a dirt trail, Long and vast, Each trail sui generis, Each journey one must face alone at times, The demanding curve, Shifting river, One who is adept can adapt to the extremes, The only way to conquer the trail is to be strong, This trail is long, The ability to determine the length is about as good as a guess, The tiresome journey can engulf the entirety of it's existence, Excitement of a new world, Fades with the darkness of the night, When morning comes so must smiles, Possessing the ability to enjoy this road is more important than surviving it, The absence of joy deters some from finishing this venture, A broken and battered soul can only survive so long without failure, What's the point of finishing the journey, If you don't find yourself in the process? Life can be hard at times. For some things might seem as though they couldn't ever get worse. This is a life given to you, your chance to experience your own journey. You have to be strong and confident to get through life, at the same time you need to enjoy every minute of it. You are never promised tomorrow, and only know today. Life in the now, you will never discover yourself unless you accept the world with open arms. Peace love respect unity
Frozen Reality 3/24
03.27.08 (7:30 pm) [edit]The winter night sends daggers down uncovered skin, water becomes ice, home becomes shelter, cold and pain become one, icy chills tell me to turn around, the black stretch of sky consumes me, some may be deterred, the cold is welcomed, the pain is enjoyed, the solitude is acknowledged, this world is lonely but it is my own, winter chills evolve into body shakes, it's time to come inside, darkness surrounds until light pierces the tiniest imperfections in the blinds of the window, weary eyed and sleepy feet slowly greet the morning, the morning sun, heat from the sun touching skin never feels quite as good, until one has experienced freezing.
