i found another pretty that i love!! same artist, but this one really speaks to me!! i showed it to merle and she had a great idea! she said i should write a poem for it! so here we go! this is my poem to this lovely image:
come, journey with me
deep into the vistas of my soul.
serenity mingles with great twisted trees.
trees that stand like monuments.
monuments of a past not forgotten.
for to look into ones soul
is to see the depth of their duality.
peer deep into mine
you shall see it is no different.
light and dark.
happy and sad.
beautiful and ugly.
in this land of fervent trees,
melancholy shades dance,
dance with hues of joy!
jovial crows complete this landscape.
for what better creature to portray my essence,
then that which can evoke fear or hope?
so come, journey with me deep into my soul.
a land of balance
a land of beauty
a land of me...
~&hearts~ ahhh that was fun!!! i wanna do this one next!
isn't that a powerful image?!? i love it! thanx for the idea merley! :) hope you all have a wonderful day today. i hope this monday is the best monday you've had in weeks! like a solid wednesday! ;) (((hugs)))~ alysia
yesterday was wonderful! i just hung around the house. got some much needed cleaning done, and i went for a wonderful walk! i also was able to make a yummy dinner and watch some tv! it was great! i'm planning on doing the same today. :) i feel like i've been going way to fast lately. it feels really good to slow down and do what i want. i took some pics yesterday here's a little slide show of my purdies.
so i bought this really cute shirt the other day. i love it! here it is:
it says a lot with only saying a little. ;) soooo i've been feeling so creative lately. i love it! i used to be jealous of artists... i used to wish i could paint or draw.. then after reading a bunch on poe i have realized i am an artiest! i am a poet. that is a form of art! lol!! duh! lol!! and i can draw, and i've never tried to paint! who knows maybe i'm really good! lol!! but maybe that is another reason why i have the mothwoman prophesies around me! perhaps it's another spark that they are attracted to. ;)
so i just wanted to post this cause i love it. this is one of my all time favorite paintings. it's called a walk at dusk by Caspar David Friedrich. so what's your favorite painting?? i wanna see! ;)
alright! off i go to make this another spectacular day!! (((hugs)))~ alysia
so last night mothera tried to kill me!!! i guess she wasn't happy with the nickel.. i suppose a dime or even a quarter would've been a smarter choice! she did come inside! and i freaked the hell out!! lol! i would've been ok if she hadn't tried to chew my hand off!! i went to take the dogs outside to pee before bed and i saw her flutter by! i squealed a little. but then she landed on my hand!!!!!! aaaaahhhhh!! i flipped out! i shook and shook and shook my hand! that's right kids! it took 3 solid shakes to get her off! i bet she went back to her friends and bragged about how long she held on! lol!! so then she flew into my kitchen and clung to the wall. i left her there and tightly shut my bedroom door. and guess what!? i couldn't find her in the morning! she disappeared! after reading your wonderful comments, i feel like she was meant to be around me. i had some crazy stuff happen today too! my friend told me a story about one of her friends who had an out of body experience. i won't go into detail, but it was a cool experience. and apparently she saw a woman with red hair who had an aura that looked like the glow that comes from a dying fire. this glowing woman at one point had a flame in her hand!! my friend told her friend of brighid. this woman had never heard of her before! as we were talking about this story i began to tell my friend about brighid. {my friend only has a little knowledge about her because of me. i had told her a little about her a long time ago}. anyway. i had joined a group that niamh had suggested. it is an online group that are the keepers of brighid's flame. they have shifts and today was my shift. i had no idea what i supposed to to! lol! the sight is kinda confusing. i wasn't sure if it was about keeping a flame burning all day long or what. but as i was telling my friend all about brighid i was getting excited because my friend was seeing how cool she is. and that she is a very good goddess. then it hit me! i was keeping the flame! i was speaking of her.. i was sharing knowledge of her! i have no idea if that is what i was "supposed" to do, but it was pretty cool!
so for my group the stylus i posted a pic that i wanted everyone to write about. i wrote my own little poem and i thought i would share it here to. :) hope you guys enjoy it!
Her valley of unrest
Love has shown it’s light but once in her heart. Caressing, Possessing, Undressing her soul
Open and free She once danced under it’s glow, merrily.
Possibility and hope played out scenarios in her mind.
Dream she dared! As her passions raised!
Now standing alone in a valley of solitude, she contemplates the workings of the fates.
Was this a love that was lost to time? Or will it be a gift that the years will give?
Patiently she waits in her valley of unrest. Patiently she awaits for her loves caress....
~&hearts~ damn smitten season! lol!! ;) have a wonderful day guys! i can't believe the weekend is already here! wow! (((hugs)))~ alysia
so i was thinking.. the greatest gift i could give myself in my
quest for self-love is the gift of no comparisons. i find that i do it
way more than i even thought before! and you know what? i think that
this is something that is a societal issue as well! yesterday i went
with a friend to the mac counter so she could pick up some lip gloss..
the girl at the counter opened up and began to talk about her daughter
and how she will be going to high school next year. the conversation
took an interesting turn. she spoke of how girls always want to beat up
her daughter, and how she {the mother} must come in and save the day!
apparently her daughter is now what is considered the "minority"...even
though her mother is pure bread portarican, the daughter is blond with
green eyes. {must've came from the daddy!} i got the impression that
not only is the woman afraid to cut the umbilical cord, but she is now
forcing her issues on her daughter! the worst part of this conversation
was when my friend asked what school she was going to. the woman named
the school that my friend teaches at.. she said it with such distaste!!
like it's a crapo school! my friend told her she taught there. the lady
didn't even flinch!! my friends school is primarily black and hispanic.
then but then my friend said that her school is a great school and that
it is much more academically driven than their rival. that their rival,
even though it is all rich kids, is all about sports. the lady said
that's perfect! that she would wear all rags just so she could get her
daughter nice close and stuff to fit in with those rich kids!!! i
couldn't believe that!! my friend said that this is how parents are now
a days! that in order to get their kids to behave, the tell them they
will take away their expensive jeans if they get out of line!! it's
like WTF?!! whatever happened to respect and discipline?! i don't get
it! i really don't! ~now, on the same thread, but kinda switching it up
here! lol! pixie turned me on to the writers cafe. it is a cool site
that you can post all kinds of writing. i was perusing the site, then
suddenly felt like i was a rookie and i shouldn't post anything! like
my stuff wasn't good enough and i would be laughed at. got me to
thinking that maybe i am not so good and that i shouldn't keep writing.
but i realized that i was totally comparing myself to them! i've always
written to release emotions.. why should i think that what i say and
feel isn't good enough?! if anything, they can help me hone my skills!
i didn't go to college, and i didn't have any of the higher up english
classes. the ones that the "smart" kids were in. as a matter of fact,
my friend {the one mentioned above} went to high school with me. she
and i were talking to one of her friends the other day. my friend said
that she always started off the year in the high up english classes,
then they would send her to the lower ones cause they wanted to up the
grade average! and i looked at her and i was like.. oh you mean like my
class?? and she was like "ya! i remember i got put into your class our
senior year! lame huh?!" then suddenly realizing that she just gave me
a mental slap, she said, "ya, but you at least understood what we where
reading! i never had a clue what was going on in class!" whatevah!
lol! i am ok with my poor grades in school. {although i did do great in
english! lol} i know that i had, and still do have, a fear of success.
so i didn't try. i did just what i need to in order to get by. anyway!
lol! i just find if fascinating how much we all compare ourselves to
other people. it's not healthy!! to just be yourself isn't as easy as
it sounds, but i think this is a great step in the right direction!
cause once you strip away the comparisons, you are left with not much
more than pure freedom!!! so i leave you with a poem.. one that asks
not to be compared! lol! one that is written about another pain in my
life... one that is out of my control i guess. :)
THE EYES OF THE BEHOLDER
pure and caring,
beautiful and deep,
strong and knowing.
windows to the soul
oh how they taunt me!
eyes of truth, eyes of yours, eyes of the soul.
dark and dreamy
artistic and soulful
familiar and close
to look into them is to know you
oh how this taunts me!
eyes of truth, eyes of yours, eyes of the soul.
truthful and open
kind and benevolent
passionate and loving
all these things i see when i look into your eyes
oh how you taunt me!
eyes of truth, eyes of yours, eyes of the soul.
*sigh*
no it's not about him!! lol! he already loves me! *wink-wink* have a lovely day guys!! (((hugs))) ~&hearts~ alysia
so i did it!! it's now about 9:30 and i am still in the dark!! :) i am loving this! i was never one for doing extra credit in school... but this is pretty fun!!! i was thinking, what the hell am i gonna do for an hour with no music, no tv, and no lights!? as i said in my last post, i was gonna write, read, and meditate. with a bit of tarot on the side. well, let me tell you! this lil mind went into overdrive! it was just like when i was little and i was pretending to sleep during nap time! i forgot how wonderful silence and darkness can be! well semi darkness~i've got a bunch of candles going! so i wrote a few poems. here's my fav:
~♥~ freedom from fear ~♥~
Stepping up to take my place I powerfully stare fear in the face
He is gaunt and withering As he glares at me while shivering
“Take your leave of me! For I am destined to be free!”
“But I am needed to keep you sane.” He said, with efforts of courage beginning to wane
“Leave me be you are a waist of time, To hold onto you is a crime!”
“Foul creature of my soul, Unto death you must roll!”
“Try to make me leave, Will it work, do you believe?”
“Forever in your mind I will lurk. Taking over whenever with danger you must flirt!”
“Silence nasty beast of my imagination! For in life, as always, there will be such a flirtation!”
“Nervous confusion, your protection is a delusion!”
“For how could your presence keep me witty? By evoking pitty?!”
“An edge I will bring, If you keep me under your wing!”
“Senses all awakened, Your safety, it will never be taken!”
“Stupid sprite of my brain! You must truly be insane!”
“Teetering on the edge, While my safety you pledge!”
“Alert and sharp I will be, Once I set myself free!”
“No longer bound by your shackles, Brimming with energy my soul crackles!”
“Ever free, Ever free! When I lift myself from you this is how I shall forever be!!”
