It's been forever since I've updated at all... College is just simply too busy, with all my new classes and friends. When I'm not doing homework or hanging out, I'm usually sitting down and trying to calm myself by reading or writing. So I apologize for not updating, but the massive and sudden influx of new things to my life has changed my priorities up quite a bit.
So let's try this out... here's a poem I wrote out of boredom and inspiration. I never meant for anyone to actually read any of what I've written, but all the same, I wonder what you think.
I get a call in the midst of a mood
Past pensive, past irritable, past depressed
An hour and a half, two phone calls later
I’m smoking and smoking and smoking
Again on a bench down the street
From the place which dines on my inspiration.
To quell the rampant anxiety,
Friends of the best nature return with me.
We pass a piano, turn around, go back to it.
She sits down and plays, not even knowing.
I surrender my inflexibility
To the accommodating couch underneath.
Lost in the harmonic bliss,
Notice my body beginning to tingle
I lose all different levels of weight.
Swept away by sublime euphoria,
A welcome calm
Washing me over.
There is no other place in the world anymore;
The room achieves its own reality.
The notes intermingle and entwine
In perfect harmony
As they dance
Around the void of my milieu,
Imbuing significance, substance, even worth.
Through me,
Under me,
Into my very essence,
Gentle strength lifts me to unfamiliar heights,
I float above the restriction of my grounding.
Though immobile, I glide
Outside of dimension and time.
Though immobile, my mind races,
Despite my liberation from trepidation.
Though immobile, I welcome
My confinement to extraordinary, untainted joy.
The music falls to a close and I sit
Breathless, speechless, utterly in awe.
Angst expunged from my body,
I achieve proximity to enlightenment
And sit wholly swathed
In exquisite, inspirational beauty.
