The Colors

Colors
Splendid, defining colors!
Enhancing my skewed view of the world,
Brightening the day, defining lines and surfaces.
Colors spreading across my vision,
Creating a plane of both dissonance and harmony,
A place of rest and wonder,
A place for an adventure,
This world of mine.

My eyes are just a passage to my heart,
A means for the colors to reach the part of me that truly
Recognises beauty,
Accepts truth.
Creates the memories and images within me,
Storing them away for use in dreams.
Bright, colorful dreams.
My own adventures.

There is sight, and then there is seeing.
I love to see.
Colors.
People,
Music,
Love,
The truth within a human heart.
All defined and colored!

I love to see creation.
Things borne of human minds,
Inspired by spirit and desire,
Given color through
Voice,
Pen and paper,
Paint and brush,
Simply standing there and breathing
In awe,
In wonder
At the colors.
Bright and blossoming and brilliant.

They bring the most beautiful of messages to the soul,
Inspire it to create!

They have the power to frighten it, as well.
To damage and sadden it.
Colors are bendable and unmoving.
They are their own beings,
Viewed differently through each persons eyes.
Enoyed differently by every soul in the vast expanse of our universe.

My colors define who I am.
They define my universe.
They define the ones I love to love.
Though I may be different,
Though I may be strange and reminiscent,
I want these that I care for to know this:

It's always worth taking that step back
And standing in awe.
There is something to gain in really seeing
The colors.

The colors we love to paint our dreams with.

The Luckiest
Ben Folds

"I don't get many things right the first time
In fact, I am told that a lot
Now I know all the wrong turns, the stumbles and falls
Brought me here

And where was I before the day
That I first saw your lovely face?
Now I see it everyday
And I know

That I am
I am
I am
The luckiest

What if I'd been born fifty years before you
In a house on a street where you lived?
Maybe I'd be outside as you passed on your bike
Would I know?

And in a white sea of eyes
I see one pair that I recognize
And I know

That I am
I am
I am
The luckiest

I love you more than I have ever found a way to say to you

Next door there's an old man who lived to his nineties
And one day passed away in his sleep
And his wife; she stayed for a couple of days
And passed away

I'm sorry, I know that's a strange way to tell you that I know we belong
That I know

That I am
I am
I am
The luckiest"



I have the most wonderful friends and family. I live in one of the greatest places on earth. I always have enough to eat, a roof over my head, and someone to talk to. I have an education. I can write. I can sing. I can worship freely. I have people to love, and people to love me.

I AM the luckiest. <3

Whenever I watch a movie like "Lord of the Rings, The Return of the King", I am not only seized by an unsatiable desire to improve upon my fencing skills and stamina, but I'm reminded of something: No matter how dark and dismal, no matter how hopeless the situation may appear, good comes out on top in the end. Yay for a light in the dark ^_^
