Writings that are Captured.

I love to write, write anything. Everyone says that I need to write a book, but what would I talk about, what do I have to say that's important for others to hear or that would make a good book? I guess that its the lack of self confidence that would push me to write anything, the "I can't do it" factor. Enough about that- the other day while playing with my little one I had to urge to write. Write what, I didn't know but I put pen to paper and this is what followed... a poem about something that I love, kinda an abstract writing- but I think that it turned out pretty good. Enjoy!

Snap a shot
Blow it up
See the tiny details
Surround yourself in circles
Scattered all around
Study the ones that have gone before you
Hold tight
Make them last
Remember what it was...just remember.
Freeze a frame in a box
Buying memories by the lot
Then, now, here, there, tomorrow from today
What was it that you longed to say?
A place, a time
Something was on my mind
Where boys and girls stay forever young
And the smile never die.
Dressed in white by candlelight
A little ones cry of life-
A day that leaves you hopeful.
Tradegy, heartache and all the in-between
Cut in half, all balled up, burning them might erase.
Life at it's greatest
Tomorrow's the dream
Finally, what a place to be.
Brick by brick
Power line- a birds high wire spot
Walk the line
Dare to be
See what you are made of.
Ancient life, history
Let's relive it.
Awaken a spice
That sparkle in the eye,
Re-define-
Who am I?
Larger than life
You're on top
This is where it's at.
See them grow
Watch them fly know you were a part.
Pale frail hands
Hold the past
Of memories that were made
Breathe it in
Soak it up
Before it's too late
You've become a legacy.
Flash back
Black and white
One last time
What a ride.
Smile
Strike a pose
Take the time to stop
And say, "I was here!"
Time is moving ever so swiftly.
Tell your story
Write a song
Tell your truth
You can't hide.
Life
Day by day
Captured
In a tiny frame...

  2. Very sweet! So many of us have the potential to be great writers yet we will never be full realized. It's sad....but this was very pretty!
