Crimson Creative #276 – I Am

Look at me
You may think you see who I am
But you’ll never know me
Every day, it’s as if I play a part
Now, I see
If I wear a mask
I can fool the world
But I cannot fool my heart
Who is that girl I see staring straight back at me?
When will my reflection show
Who am I inside?
I am now in a world,
where I have to hide my heart,
And what I believe in
But, somehow, I will show the world
What’s inside my heart
And be loved for who I am
Who is that girl I see
Staring straight back at me?
Why is my reflection someone I don’t know?
Must I pretend that I’m someone else all the time?
When will my reflection show
Who I am?

WDYS #214 – Return to Me

©@pixabay

My eyes look out at the night sky. 

Its colors change from charcoal darkness 

to a petal pink dawn

the stillness of the whispers 

of the night murmurs. 

Sails are awash as the waves 

gently slice through the serene water 

as the surf rushes in. 

Calm cerulean breakers with whitecaps 

will soon carry you to me.

Nurture Yourself – Contemplate You

Watch your thoughts, they become your words; 

Watch your words, they become your actions; 

Watch your actions, they become your habits; 

Watch your habits, they become your character; 

Watch your character, it becomes your destiny

Friday Fictioneers – The Fallen Oak

Suddenly, dark clouds formed,

lightening flashed,

The life of a tree

shattered.

The storm has lashed out.

It’s furry, leaving no clue

as to why the tree

was struck.

In the aftermath, many must adjust

to that moment when lightening

flashed, and

a tree fell.

Birds had built 

nests in its limbs,

songbirds of nature

protected and safe.

Leaves covered in insects

pollinate blooms

after basking 

in the sun.

An owl perched high 

surveys the landscape.

As dry leaves fly 

into the scenic countryside.

The mighty oak vandalized

split in two.

The strength of the storm 

nesting in our souls.

If It Be Your Will by Leonard Cohen

leonard-cohen-5-cn_leonardcohen

On November 7, 2016, the sad news was announced that the prominent poet, novelist, musician, singer, songwriter and paint artist, Leonard Cohen had died. He was born on September 21, 1934 in Westmount, Quebec, Canada.
His work explored religion, politics, isolation, sexuality, and personal relationships. He won the Chester Mac Naghten Literary Competition for the poems “Sparrows” and “Thoughts of a Landsman.”

His song “Suzanne” became a hit for Judy Collins who subsequently covered a number of Cohen’s other songs, as well, and was for many years his most covered song. He was also associated with many other performers including Sharon Robinson, Jennifer Warnes and Anjani Thomas. ©wikipedia

During the New York City’s folk scene in Greenwich Village, I had the pleasure of being exposed to his words from other poets who were reciting his poems and aspiring to be as good.

It’s a formidable loss of an incredibly revered visionary artist.

May you Rest in Peace,

Isadora

“Hallelujah” was first released on Cohen’s studio album Various Positions in 1984.

If It Be Your Will

If it be your will that I speak no more
And my voice be still as it was before
I will speak no more, I shall abide until
I am spoken for, if it be your will

If it be your will that a voice be true
From this broken hill, I will sing to you
From this broken hill, all your praises they shall ring
If it be your will to let me sing

From this broken hill all your praises they shall ring
If it be your will to let me sing

If it be your will, if there is a choice
Let the rivers fill, let the hills rejoice
Let your mercy spill on all these burning hearts in Hell
If it be your will to make us well

And draw us near, and bind us tight
All your children here in their rags of light
In our rags of light, all dressed to kill
And end this night, if it be your will, if it be your will

Song Lyrics

I Will Not Tell


I Will Not Tell’

I will not tell

You are my lover.

I will not tell

You are my friend.

I will not tell

My deep sorrow and pain

I will not tell

Without you, I’d go insane.

When will I be free?

Of these, demons inside of me.

When will I know?

No one will hurt me.

When will I feel?

Peace and tranquility

When will I be unbound?

To be happy.

I will not tell

The way you soothe me

I will not tell

My scars have begun to heal.

I will not tell

You saved me.

I will not tell

Without you, I would be a lament.

Memories of our childhood
are like images on a canvas,
they merge until they lose their shape,
often remaining only as feelings
