Life’s Precious Beat [Poem]

I often find myself stuck
Somewhere in the middle
Of capture and surrender
Of live now and remember
Of render and let it be

I don’t often feel
Like I get it quite right
Like how to remember
What wasn’t captured
Or fully absorb
What’s seen from a screen

But every now and again
I capture a moment
Or surrender to a scene
And briefly find my footing
As I rebalance to the rhythm
Of life’s precious beat

P.s. This poem was inspired by this picture.

Rushing Feet [Poem]

rain scattered
wind thrusting
feet rushing
to escape

why run away
from that which I
was made?

one day
I will be rain
and gusts
pouring down
and pushing into
somebody else’s
rushing feet

and wouldn’t I
unable to speak or say
want them
to slow
and feel
and appreciate
...me?

Thinking Of You [Poem]

I think of you sometimes
And sometimes I smile
And sometimes I fall
Sometimes I channel it
And sometimes I withdrawal
Better—I suppose
Than not having anything
To move or respond to
at all.

The Pixels [Poem]

I sit for 20 minutes
Look at the clock
And realize it’s only been 3

What’s wrong with me?
20 minutes goes by in 3
When I look at a screen?

Why does sitting alone
Without the company of a screen
Screech things to an unbearable halt?

Why can’t I just be?
Here with myself
Without nervously checking

The pixels that seem to control me?

The Quiet [Poem]

Never fear the quiet
That comes with the climb

While solitude
Might feel lonely

Elevating your mindset
Raising your vibration
Upgrading your standards
Expanding your vision
Advancing your position
Peaking your mountain

All require leaving
Most of the noise behind

Never fear the quiet
That comes with the climb

P.s. In case you missed it, you can read the best of what I posted to MoveMe Quotes last week, here.

Obsessed [Poem]

Obsessed with it all
That’s why I won’t settle

Not until every nook
And every cranny
Of every day

Is composed of moments
I can’t wait to recall
