Austere / Lollygag
Welcome back to Stream of Consciousness Sundays, where I have a random word and write for whatever comes to mind for a certain amount of time (5-10 minutes). Today is 5 minutes (more or less) Word: Austere – FOWC & Lollygag – RDP Austere words line the hall Pictures in which we lay Slow smiles…

Discomfort
Theres something in the air A murmur Breaking from the sky Electric shocks and torrential downpours Splitting my silk tongue Frayed ends tickle the throat Tie up the lungs Filling the belly with silken worms

The Idle Brain
We’ve all had those sudden strikes of inspiration, moments where an idea materializes so vividly that you have no choice but to get to work. Those moments aren’t the rule though. They happened to me more often as a kid and teenager. Now, as an adult, I find that they rarely happen. Why? Scientifically those…

That’s Not The Universe
The law of attraction is kind of bogus. I said what I said. It’s not that I don’t believe people can create their own lives and destinies. I do. What the law of attraction attempts to do is move people into energy or the perception of creation. It encourages you to change your thought patterns,…

It’s easy to say but practicing momentary mindfulness around…

As If
Your “Hi” is imperceptibly soft A memory leaking from your innermost corners A petal, already wilting As if you know what’s coming As if you truly believe I won’t forever wander blindly into your arms Guided only by the string that pulls me Always directly with little lax A tightrope for my heart to run…

Window
I’m wandering in circles, like I have somewhere to be, but no one is waiting for me. I’m just lost in this room, bouncing from window to window. Photo from the Pexels photo library
