"a cloud does not know why it moves in just such a direction and at such a speed... it feels an impulsion... this is the place to go now.  but the sky knows the reasons and the patterns behind all the clouds, and you will know, too, when you lift yourself high enough to see beyond horizons."   ~  richard bach

happy thursday

'from flesh to sea'...

( ..., by laneybutler )

'from flesh to sea'

that driftwood memory plays with the grains in my mind.  shifting under the sailboat moored in tomorrow's harbor, with picture paths of spoken words and calendar weeks.  straining, heaving, against the tidal wave... a pirate's plundering of the skull

( untitled, by welcome, ghosts )

let go

  cast off that captive line

fibers slipping... burning down the length of palm, pouring back the salt from flesh to sea in an excruciating caress of this moment's dance...  a tango of last breath and promised years.

( up, by lissy elle )

throw up those wings of limbs and fly upon the uncertainty of the horizon, be it an unchartered sail through tempest skies; a topsy-turvy teetering into that ever evasive western light.

extend, if you will, and grasp the silent, sightless air; fingers bent in a carving out of life line 

( the escape plane, by lauren withrow )

for that calcification of time, that unmoving scar, forges a slippery surface to skate into the tomorrow... a perilous mode of transportation, forcing full focus on the now, on the present, on the thin edge of precarious balance

( untitled, by awkwardlyalex )

coast to the shore? or soar with bubbling glee...  a laughing cry splashed out into the sea

( joy, by lynn fagerlie )

happy tuesday!

voice...

get back in your book, by lissy elle

well, i found another poem, sorting through my stack of written word from my high school days, which seemed to capture the mood of this collection of flickr lovelies... so, i thought i would share another with this week's set.  this was one scribbled out of piece of notebook paper... i have such terrible penmanship anyway, so it took a bit of deciphering on the first read through!

'voice'

"do you hear the words, or the feelings locked inside them?

can you hear the meanings?

is this my voice or only a harsh sound?

memory's voice tastes of meaning's warmth or cold

a fire providing heat and tranquility

fostering destruction

burning out with the breath of closed ears

can you hear only this silence?

still, can you not feel the heavy truth behind?

the truth of fighting freedom flight

can you hear the frustrations that cry out so loud to be heard. 

to be remembered. reborn?

or do you settle for the quiet words of expectation which seem to drown out all others
