So Close

Today was my last day of semester.
It should have been a time for celebrations (Only six months left and then I will have completed my MASTERS!).
But it’s not time for celebrating. It’s a time for anger. Teachers are inconsistent. I’m sick of it.
Please, when I’m a teacher,if you ever find me marking inconsistently, remind me of this anger I’m feeling now.
Shadow (collide)

I had that feeling tonight
butterflies pulling me high
somehow it didn’t, it didn’t feel right
When you weren’t by my side
We said forever
together, I thought it to mean
but sometimes it’s feeling like never
are you moving the same way as me
It’s hard to face the world on my own
I’d rather not do it alone
But how do I make our two worlds collide?
When will our lives be intertwined
I’m sick of walking day after day
When it’s only your shadow leading the way
Sometimes at night I can worry
That life has left me behind
but you question why I must hurry
like I’m the one who’s stealing your time
I feel my frustration growing
my blood boils, under my skin
I’m not sure which way I am going
but I know it’s opposite him
it’s hard to find the patience to reply
I’ll dig deep, I know he’ll never try
How can I make our two worlds collide?
When will our lives be intertwined?
I’m sick of walking day after day
when it’s only your shadow leading the way.
Make my heart sing
04 May 2012 Leave a Comment
Yesterday I had the wonderful pleasure of recording harmonies for a Friend’s EP.
I haven’t recorded in years.
Do you know what it’s like when you feel that fluttering in your chest because you truly love what you are doing. It feels so right and it is pure and unquestionable joy?
That was what I felt. I have missed this singing! Singing from the heart.
What made it even better was that the music Pat has written is beautiful. It completely resonates with where I am in life. He sings about the mountains – the home I miss dreadfully. i drive through it three times a week at least, but it’s not the same.
Getting back to the point. Lyrically and musically, Pat has just done such a brilliant thing in his music.
When you hear the music, I hope you will hear how it has made my heart sing.

Slowly

in Journal-ing, Not Happy, writings
Slowly, slowly,
my mind it moves,
wandering over the pages.
whispering, whistling through the sweet air
wondering weary with sorrow
Slowly, slowy,
my eyes, are closing
longing for silence and darkness
waiting and wishing for refuge of sleep
dragging me into tomorrow
Slowly, slowly,
my thoughts I am thinking
weighted, lethargic and lonely.
Hopelessly longing for lighthearted grace
to rescue me from melancholy
Slowly, slowly,
my heart, it is beating,
waning to match my foul temper.
weeping and wheezing irregular beats
the reverb unlaces my volley’ s.
Slowly, slowly,
my smile, it is showing
waking from winter’s stupor.
growing and spreading with merciless splendour
and filling the world with colour
Slowly, slowly,
the world, I am changing,
washing and wiping it clean.
Painting the piece with perfect precision
redeeming it from it’s cruel pallor.

So our internet has been playing up but I’m back, yay!
I’ve been eating a lot less, because it’s been hot, but also because I was at work and I tend to eat less when I’m working, because I’m not usually bored.
ummmmm
Wade returned my pedometer last night, so that’s good! it’s on now as I prepare for today.
