The Music In My Head

Black and white. Fairy tales. Gravity. Laughing gas. Carousels. Measuring sticks. Pushkin. Complexity. Redemption.

Betrayed? Maturity. Isolation. Cynicism. Aggravation. Push. Pull. Prank. Have we met before?

"I know. But I do not approve. And I am not resigned."

Storms at Sea

I tried.
I thought - perhaps -
But being shy of the mark
Is easier than you might suppose.
Sky painted with stars
Paints thoughts new colors.
Does creativity arise out of struggle
Or mere contemplation?
So very tired of wrestling;
So very tired;
So very not ready to give up yet.
