Gravity
by me(whatever)
to Longing
This morning,
I awoke in an illusion.
Taking these steps,
quietly wrapped in confusion.
It was a tiny walk
across a gap in the sky.
"I suppose I should turn back now,"
I said within a sigh.
There's a world you've never seen,
and it all belongs to me.
concrete suspended 12,000 feet,
in the air like another sea.
"define gravity, please?"
from the balloon I named Campanula,
I've set out for you,
calling you names through the nebula.
in a city without people,
the windows glint as the gulls fly by.
winding through the spiral staircase,
I still can't find a reply.
The wind rustles in the blue grass,
invisible to the voices below.
let me disappear in this translucent color,
breathing in the afternoon glow.
Please come back,
I'm begging you like a child.
Watching the nimbus drift through,
I cried as it piled.

Rainy Morning
Rainy Morning (11-21-13)
A small bird
calling desperately for it's mother
ran over in the rainy morning.
If I could see a seagull,
or a sea-cat,
today would be fine,
I'm sure.
On rainy mornings
I can't sleep,
pacing around
like a caged animal.
My last bit of freedom,
to walk a little farther in the cold
taken away by kindness.

Sir Wind and the Seagulls
It's funny how I remember the most normal things I've ever done. Most of how I remember my very far back past, when I was a kid, was with conversations. I had a friend in kindergarten whose name was Tira(I think it was spelled this way?), and she was only my friend through kindergarten, but she was my only friend. I've always been rather anti-social. I don't like having too many friends, just a few whom I really like. One of my only memories of her, was a conversation we had when we were swinging on the swings. The school we were at is torn down now. So is my preschool, isn't that funny.
I remember when I was a kid, that my closest sensation to flying was to swing on a swing. All swings were pretty much magical, and held some kind of power in them like that. Even my grandmas porch swing. We were talking about it, and this funny seagull that was going in circles around in front of us on top of a building. We felt it was watching us, like it was are guardian spirit or something. Ever since then, I've always felt that they are watching me, protecting me and the like. Whenever I would see a whole lot of them in a bunch, flying around and going about their birdy business, I would think, "Oh, today will be fine."
So I've always liked seagulls.
And another time that I remember with the seagull memory, is one that came later. I think it was at my second elementary school, but I can't remember who it was that I talked about it to. Well, it was about Mr. Wind. It was some girl who I was talking to, but she agreed with me that the wind was like a person. That he was a bit of a mysterious invisible person. Sir Wind, I've always had a visualization of him too; long coat and hat that hides his face like a stalker. I dunno, I remember things like that. Always have.
Along with those memories, I have a million others that are just as interesting. I should put some more on here, I think. Like when I smashed beads with a hammer for magic dust, and put markers in water-filled juice cans to have colored water. I've always wanted to fly, though.
