We ask and are filled to overflowing with so many questions, about love and life and worlds above us

Yet so much of the time we are not willing to answer the questions presented to us

We yearn to know many things

Yet aren't prepared to give as much information

the lonelier i am
the more i seemingly
love you

Up to the looking glass
you can see
none too clear

A pink hazed unreality
beckoning your touch

A myriad of music notes
pulling your hand

Your own voice covers you
in a blanket of warmth
humming to you
still, still, still

Inside the looking glass
you can see
none too clear

A gray clouded fantasy
begging for your taste

A shattered vanity
sinking into your teeth

Your own voice covers you
in a blanket of warmth
humming to you
shh, shh, shh
a freewrite

Well.
Autumn comes again.
The rotating of seasons
Always in constant motion.
Though it may seem mysterious,
It really is not.
All it is, is
The rotating of our planet,
Our world, around our Sun,
Our star, our source of light
And hope and energy and life.

//

With every new season comes a new feeling
Winter,
Coldness, loneliness (maybe), brisk and clean.
Spring,
Freshness, coming of a new season and new life
Summer,
The happiness, blissfulness, free-ness, relaxation.
Autumn,
A time to reflect, colors, bonding.

//

Once-green leaves painted
Burning sunset hues.
Russet, gold, amber leaves
Twirl towards the ground
In its own complicated choreography.
Twigs and leaves crunching underfoot
As you walk down the windy scenic path.
An autumn Beauty.

treat life the way you
want life to treat you

I think I finally know what this is
But I don't think I do.
I might
But then maybe not.

What is love?
People claim they know
But they don't.

love--
(n.)something mysterious
can't figure it out
can end badly
or be the best things in the world
you can't prepare
for it
something puzzling
Carmen Reed Sep 2015
All that is in the world
Will soon enough perish
And though this information is known
We can make the best of our situations
By living in the moment
Not worrying for the future

Love for love
Laugh for laughs
Cry for sadness
Lose for loss
Forget for forgiveness

Live in the moment
Not agonizing for the past
Not worrying for the future
