What makes the heart sing?

The silence of a peace
Quietness of calm
And joyfulness in bides
Having no mindfulness
Placed upon a break
Or loss of river way
That letting flow unchanged
For an easiness of music

What makes the heart sing?

A darkness of escape
A world slipped of the map
That plods the earthen days
Like water off the stream
Puddles deep as songs
Clear from no wash nor wave
Let see a night of long
And clarity regained

What makes the heart sing?

Wall-less chamber glass
Clear but show nothing less
Than what internal shine
Like fire in the rain
The safety left to know
A world has been contained
Protection of the heart
Will let it free to sing

I hallucinate myself

I hallucinate a world within myself My mind an overarching membrane My blazing eyes the sun that burns Inwardly, penetrating the air I breathe Perpetrating Personalities both known and hidden I imagine myself a terrifying god I control the very nature of the universe My universe Perfectly apart From complexities that would diffuse the soul Into the chaos of physical existence I hallucinate And I dream for as long as I've been awake My future self no more real than the present Yet seemingly important Seemingly self-aware in its ignorance Who can ever escape this prison This endless wall that curves upon itself Surface smooth and permeable As if only to the things that hurt Vultures spawn from wishful thinking To peck and prod at worm-like memories Can the ego ever break this shell This glass-like structure where all falls apart Maybe it's the rules at fault A self-imposed chemistry of atoms not real I hallucinate a world And with it myself

ONE DOOR FOR ALL

"Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. [ROMANS 10:13] The protocols at the restaurant in my childhood and neighborhood were consistent with social and racial dynamics in the late 1950s and early 1960s. The kitchen helpers - Mary, the cook, and dishwashers like me - were Black; however, the in-restaurant patrons were White. Black customers could order food, but they had to pick it up at the back door. Such policies reinforced the unequal treatment of blacks in that era. Though we've come a long way since then, we still have room for growth in how we relate to each other as people made in the image of God. Passages of Scripture like Romans 10:8-13 help us to see that all are welcome in the family of God; there's no back door. All enter the same way - through belief in Jesus' death for cleansing and forgiveness. The Bible word for this transformative experience is saved (VV. 9, 13). Your social situation or racial status or that of others doesn't factor into the

Writing Tips and So Much More

Being a writer (or trying to be), I looked up a whole bunch of deviantART guides on writing and other related articles. So if you are in the same boat I am (one that is quickly sinking into shark infested waters). I have some tips for you, or rather, I have a list of other people's articles you should read. (With a little commentary from me. :D ) These aren't in any particular order, so don't assume the first article will be much more helpful than the sixth or seventh. I like the guides that talk to the reader and make it personal. Like "I know from personal experience that writer's block can be a challenge. God, don't we all know. But I hav

5 Lessons in Storytelling from Preacher

5 Lessons in Storytelling from “Preacher” the Graphic Novel Any professional writer has one universal and fundamental truth to share when it comes to learning how to write—and that is that you must read. This is one of the primary rules of Stephen King, John Green, and most writers kind enough to pass on bits of advice to the rest of us. And so, I will be focusing on things that one can learn from specific stories. Today's story? “Preacher” the graphic novel by Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon. Lesson 1: The best stories contain everything they are within an overarching plot. “Preacher” is a story abou

Johnlock

"Sherlock, I don't understand." John Watson looks at his flatmate, Sherlock Holmes, deeply in the eyes. "What's there not to understand, John?" Sherlock seems to pin John in his place with his gaze. "You said that..." John looks down at his feet, not knowing where else to go with that statement. "That, I did, John, and what's your answer?" He stares down at the ex-army doctor. "Yes." John looks up at his friend and bites his lip. "Yes?" Sherlock looks at him, a slightly amused expression on his face. "Yes. Why did you ask me, out of anyone you know you asked me. Why?" "Because I know you...and I trust you." John smiles at Sherlock. "

Into the Dark :: Shizaya

Into the Dark i opened the window, and softly whispered out 「how are you?」 There's no one here, i'm alone in the room the morning's come, a morning of pouring rain somebody, wind up my coil... It had been raining for the past few weeks. Izaya wasn't sure if he was glad for it – after all, it matched his mood – or if he just wanted to start glaring at the sky for making him feel worse. Maybe it was both, he really wasn't sure anymore. He'd retreated to his bedroom early – maybe that was a bit of an understatement, it was ten AM and he was curled up by the window – after sending Namie off with only a te

Marching Band

Marching band: It’s sweating and dehydrating and making perverted jokes; marching until 11 at night and waking up at 4 the next day to go to competition; living at the school because you have a music booster for a mother, spending all your free time working, getting there at 7 in the morning because you just aren’t good enough yet. It’s spending 7+ hours a day practicing; learning drills, practicing music, covering the basics, making your legs hurt (because that means you’re doing it right), getting yelled at, yelling at others, measuring steps. It’s avoiding flags and making friends, repeating it over and ove

Originally written on December 6, 2014. Fifty ninth poem for the Hundred Theme Challenge by The-Poetry-Cafe. Risk is best enjoyed when it is of another's. Freedom is best enjoyed without risk. Hence another's freedom, can never be, unless one sacrifices the safety of observation. Relationships are a pact; to live in a constant balancing act, that leaves no room for escape, and no where else to go when the heart sings.
