Still frames

Come to the place where time stands still-

A lonely girl waits.
The miracle of-
    children never grow up
    And trees never fall down

    Poppies bloom eternal
        and you can just glimpse,
        in the distance,
        a young couple walking
        in the sunlight
        forever together


Come to the place where time
stands still-

    A lonely girl waits,
    Watching

    The snow never melts,
    And aspens never leaf out

    Chickens stand on thin legs, poised,
      unfulfilled,
      unwatered.


Come to the place where time stands still-

    A lonely girl waits,
    Wrapped in thought,
    Dancing circles into the floor,
    Singing life into the dead air


Nothing changes in these still windows,
Time forever frozen in still frames.
      

Every Once In a While (This is Supernova)

Can't apply myself to writing today,
Though the pen scratches at my ribcage,
The birds are making an enormous racket--
And I would throw stones at them--
But I'm a content sort of restless.

Every once in a while I become sick of metaphor
Weightlessness,
But I'm trying to fly,
Alternately floating off and crashing to the ground.

Creativity, today, is an itch I can't scratch,
A rope thrown over a tree branch that won't catch.
Would anybody like to hold these things?
Take them from me and explore them
And give me your own things in return.

How much does the song in your heart vary?
Every once in a while mine becomes this elemental,
Orchestral movie score, and I have no idea what to do with it 

Or how to sing it anymore.
That is the itch that begs to be scratched,
Scales hanging just so,
Ready to be shed at the slightest touch,
But it is an art.

The dance of the girl in supernova,
Brighter than she can stand,
A whirl of color and light;
Singing and drawing and playing the guitar--
And wondering what to do with it all,
Everything begging for another shoulder to alight on.

Did you know that the universe is underneath our feet?
This planet is round,
But it is no wonder we once thought it was flat,
And every once in a while we forget
that the universe isn't just above our heads;
We stand upon the stars.

Dancing in the rain yesterday

Sneak peek of something I've been working on for a very long while. (can't remember what the inspiration was.)

The canvas he had found was dingy and old, he had once started halfheartedly painting a Chinese bowl with a daffodil design over a dark blue background a little toward the top corner of the left hand side, but he had never finished it.

Please

Don't watch me.
I'm the Caribbean queen.
I don't care what you say.
I don't want to be seen.

Don't watch me.
I don't exist.
I am under the sidelines.
I really must insist.

Don't watch me.
I cannot be seen.
I am not your average girl.
I am impossible to deem.

Don't watch me,
As I dance around,
If you watch me,
I will run aground.

Homeschool prom.

Last night was hilarious :) If you're friends with me on FB, you know what I'm talking about. However, you may want to know some of the details;
We danced, but of course, that is nothing out of the ordinary. Nevertheless, what if I told you who I danced with? ;] The one and only ARAGORN was kind enough to do a slow dance with me!! I also danced with Howl, he's such a great waltzer, very gentle :) Oh, and, mwahahahah, I stole Christian Bale from Dari :] What fun :)
I danced with one real boy, first for about two seconds when I finally mustered up the courage to ask him for a girls choice song (It ended shortly after I asked him), and then I danced with him for a promenade from Pride and prejudice. Later, as they played the last song before they decided to pack everything up,  I pulled him up off the middle of the dance floor where he was looking very bored indeed and had the last dance with him. There weren't many people (let alone boys) at the dance last night. Teenage guys don't usually seem very willing to attend dances. So that explains most of my story. Most of it, not all of it :]
Oh, and guess what?! I got complimented on my dancing! I was outside talking with a friend, dancing with myself when a guy walked out to get something from his car and told me I'm a good dancer! I thought that was very nice of him, I dance with all of my might no matter where I am, or how many people are watching.
Me, I love dances, no matter how many people are there. Last night was fun, even though we had a mix up with who was supposed to give us a ride home :) What? You didn't know about that particular detail?! Course you didn't, You'd have to be either Dari, Albi, A.D., Me, or my Mom to know that one. And you're not, and I just told you, soooooo, now you know :)
I hope that wasn't a little too much info for you :) Thanks for reading, and I hope some of this made your day. Smiley!!!! :D
P.S. I forgot to mention that I essentially went barefoot to prom, just like I've been planning to for all these years :) BTW, I have a large blister on my left big toe. Big surprise {Rolls eyes}
