raven

i only stalk prey
in the center of night
where all that's pulled in
was outcast from the light
and the rejected matter
just builds and expands
as the sun sinks down
and i glow blue again

surrounding all i had
is a vision of what i've left
because a life lived within's
filled me with regret
and has pushed me to the center of night

my minutes get weaker
with every rotation
and my mind washes over
with vague contemplation
of knowing too soon
that the day will come fast
and there's no way my glory
in this night will last

surrounding all i had
is a vision of what i've left
because a life lived within's
filled me with regret
and has pushed me to the center of night

right where you are and always have been and will forever be

saving my world

I woke up this morning with the intention of getting some cardio out of the way.  Instead, I reached for my nail polish on my nightstand, touched up my french manicure and laid in bed for about 45 minutes until I decided it was safe to move around. I ran twice on Monday....and sprinted/lunged yesterday....I figured, unless my goal is to completely lose all muscle in my legs, perhaps I need to slow down. It's like that every time I go through a "seasonal" change - and not season like the weather, but season like another one of life's seasons.  I sense the seasons changing.  And when that happens, I am a bundle of energy buzzing and bouncing off the walls without the caffeine.  Relaxing is hard.  I just want to run - I want to paint - I want to be free - I want to inspire - to be inspired - to live and take advantage of all the things that make life great. Where others buckle and fall apart when change occurs, I tend to thrive.  I've always been that wa...
