Hey y’all This will be my last post for a couple of weeks. I have to turn my attention to writing a research proposal. I wanted to just buy it a ring and a box of chocolate, but guessing that is out. 😜 My lame sense of humor never goes out though. Seriously, it likes to hang around the house and perform standup in front of the mirror.
But I digress, I’ve also got a couple of job interviews lined up. Wish me luck and I’m getting back into non profit work with survivors of human trafficking. It’s shocking how prevalent modern day slavery is. There are so many atrocities in the world, I suppose it’s not that surprising. Love and action can make a difference. We just have to break through the apathy.
On a lighter note, I hope you all have a wonderful weekend. Thanks for the likes. Gifts would be better. Yep, there’s that nerdy sense of humor again Below you will find a poem and my musical attempt. Hope you enjoy my mournful side. It constrast greatly with my silly side. All my sides wish you the best though xx
If I write it down
I can’t take it back.
When I’m gone, and
the wind of your world
is still scented with
my verse, what then?
Who will I be to you?
a bittersweet arrangement
of molecules only legible
under certain nostalgic light?
If your voice fails you
give them my words.
Tell them this is how
she adored me,
with syntax and lyrical sighs,
bleeding emotions.
The wingspan of her poetry.
I dressed you only
in the sun, too far gone
to halt our ending, but still
close enough for you to cling
to the last of light.
You’ll find me somewhere
lost between the pages of
your life. Sitting on a
porch swing singing
the blue notes, softly
as the intervals slowly fade.
