My Triumph& Contrast
Fallingwater house built by:Frank Lloyd Wright
FallingWater sign
(Seeing something I learned about and studied in school in its full structure was amazing. It inspired this poem.)
Being able to see you in your full beauty
was breath taking.
The waterfall that you were built on memorizing
I will never forget the amount of joy you brought me
that day a memory I will always remember.

The Edges & Alignment of life.
square sample of tile
octogan sample of tile
hugh whale model, looking at the edge of tail
hallway
Lincoln Memorial and the many edges of it
So many edges in life
Sometimes there just apart of your favorite memorial structures
Or an edge of a big humpback whale tail.
Or just maybe the edges are different and apart of sample tiles or a hallway that seems to go on and on forever.
How does one handle the many edges in life
does one simply just photograph them and tuck them away for another day.
Oh does one admire them everywhere they go and try not to take them for granted.

Seeing Double!
Seeing double wherever I go like I can’t seem to get away
from the two’s.
You can see two of me if I had a twin
but I am not so two of me is not out there
walking around, joking around.
There is just one of me but if there were two of me
how could the world handle that.
Two voices that would be powerful, stubborn and full of life.
But for now only one voice will have to do, but I do enjoy seeing double
every now and then.

Views through Glass!
I see you through the walls you put up to keep them out.
I want you to know that no matter how many walls you
put up I will break them all down.
I know you seem to think being on your own will always be your way
to live without feeling disappointed but I know the truth.
You will smile again, and you will bring down all those walls.
Because living behind the glass is nice sometimes but there is so
much more outside those windows you avoid.

My Treasures!
My childhood jewelry box

notes from my high school creative writing class
My treasures are small
Old and a gift.
They are there to remind me
I was once a child.
A teenage who was shy and
Was afraid to use my voice, to share my work.
But because of my treasures I have found my voice and I’m not afraid to share my words.

The scale & observation of life.
little Triceratops dinosaur on a scroll
Everything seems to be so big
And here I am so small in this big world
can you see me down here.
Trying to make it in this world
I yell and no one see’s or hears me, what am I to do.

Moment & Motion
Like the fire you move me
And I wish I could say more.
As the night ends
Will I ever get another chance?
At a moment like this.

The view of Architecture
I look at you and I can see the history and time you went through.
You stand strong and hope someone will walk through your doors.
But they all walk by or drive by not thinking twice about you.
Your just another building to them and what is the point in looking at everything you pass by.
It will take up too much time and well they got places to go and people to see.
Your beauty and history and knowledge of things that have happened are not
their concerns.

Colors
Colors oh how I love you
From the blends of colors in your favorite painting.
To breath taking views of sunsets or sunrises.
colors how you brighten my day or mood.
Yet, sometimes our eyes miss the colors that are right in front of our faces.
And we miss out on something great.

Mystery
It didn’t know who you were
I had not heard of you before.
But then the words came flowing out of your mouth
and your begun to play your guitar and then the keyboard mixed in and your sound
flowed into me and you find a new fan in me that day.
Your sound was once a mystery to me and even though the mystery has been
solved your sound plays on and on wherever you go.

Warmth & the Quality of Light
The light and warmth I was looking for
I thought it would be found in a hot cup of tea on this cold day.
But I found it when IÂ stopped looking for itÂ
And as it shined down on me, I was at peace.
Nothing bad seemed to matter as the light shined down on me
and my day was forever changed.

Natural World & Leading lines
Nature’s beauty lines sometimes stand out
more than we would like.
Drawing in the eye to something that we want to keep hidden for a lifetime.

Connections
Sometimes we need connections to get to one side of the escalator to other.
Sometimes we make connections for we want to get to know someone, and that connection may take a long time to build.
We need connection to grow friendships or network.
Connections are important and they may be the light at the end of your tunnel.

Solitude
I am alone and everything around me
can help me survive.
If only if  I look passed the things that make me
feel so alone and small in this big world.
