Thoughts of the Day

Today is a momentous occasion for celebration. I have taken some time to watch CNN today and their coverage of the Barach Obama's Presidential Inauguration. I am very excited at the possibilities that our country is now on the verge of. Yes we have a lot of challenges ahead of us as a country but we also have a lot to be proud of. I am confident for the first time in a long time my country. I am very proud to be an American.

For those of you that have not seen it here is Barack Obamas Oath and Inaugural Address:

Poem: Setting Sun

Your arms wrapped around my stomach
Chin resting on my shoulder
Standing on the edge of the Grand Canyon looking out into the sky
At peace with each other
No worries and No Pain
Feeling your breath on my skin
Smelling your sweet perfume intoxicate my soul
You hold me close to you
Not letting me go We stabilize each other
Feet planted on the ground solidly
Each of us helping the other to stand tall and strong
The cool desert air chills our skin
Feeling the goosebumps on my arm your rub them to keep me warm
Loving the way you make me feel
We stare off into the setting sun

Poem: Untitled Poem

Sliding through the blades of grass at a snails pace
My body undulates against the ground like a snake slithering
Feeling the dirt and moisture all around me
I want to stand up and dust myself off but cant see what I am doing
The grass is too tall and it blocks the sun
Surrounded by darkness on all sides
Cold sets in and my body becomes chilled
Bones brittle and grinding together with each movement
I reach for support grasping out
But there is nothing there but fragile grass
Finally I muster the strength to stand
My body racked with pain I grimace forward towards the light
The cold dusky sky clouds at my back
Pain lingers but I move forward not giving up hope
Taking one step at a time
Finding a nice open area with a chair
Sitting to relax my aching muscles I take in the sun
Letting it energize and rejuvenate my body
Hoping for peace in this dark world
I look forward onto the openness of life
I will linger here longer

Music: Nothing Else Matters - Apocalyptica

Just thought I would share a very calm and soothing song with everyone. These guys can sure rock out with the cellos.

Poem: Sorry

Sorry for the pain I have caused
I am like a walking explosion
Blowing peoples hearts and feelings to bits
Moving slowly
Doing damage to many
Sorry for what I have done
Stopping immediately
But is it too late
The hate is already built up for me
I am enemy number one
I have dug my own grave
Life will not be the same
I can only move forward and redeem myself
If this is the worst thing I have done
Then I have nothing to worry about
Yes it was bad, but I am not a crack dealer or murderer
All I can ask is your forgiveness
I will work myself out of this hole
Fighting tooth and nail
Shouting at the top of my lungs
Letting everyone know that I am sorry
I am human and have made a mistake
Life can go on
Turning your back on your fellow human being is never wise
No matter what they have done
Please give me the opportunity at redemption

Music Video: Lady Gaga - Poker Face

I am addicted to this song and video now lol.

Poem: Isolated

Isolated against the world I feel like a shipwrecked soul
The sand on my skin like sandpaper rubbing
Breaking me down day in and day out
The warm saltwater bathes my skin
Sun beating down on my head heating my hair like a warm blanket
A crab walking across the sand is my only friend
Its red body hardened by the elements much like me
A home of leaves keeps the rain off of me
Stars are my personal night light
I long for companionship
Despite the fact that I am away from the stresses of daily life
I am missing out on so much
I am isolated and alone
