Its so koooooooooooooool.
Tumult and confusion
Wild weather howling through life
No eye to this storm
Past and future clamouring for dominance
Waves of memory gone
crash on shores of consciousness
Insistent battering
Storms of fear and future
rage across the mind
tearing up, flinging about
clouds of dust obscure all thought
But listen hard and hear
the underneath, growing louder
as behind and before fade away
The heartbeat
The pulse of now
Counting this moment, this moment, this moment
This moment is all there is
pressing hammers
onto already-vibrating heartstrings
pull me into place,
in line with all the other
collared shirts,
khaki pants,
and notebook paper hearts
scribbling thoughts away
while attempting to ignore
boredom's constant droning
over teenage heads
please, little butterflies,
won't you allow your
fragile wings
to lift
just one more burden
collected together in
a childlike form?
she appreciates
beauty
hollow sounds produced
by tapping fingertips
never satisfy
take me home,
back to where
the essence of
fantasy lives
capture ponderings and
drink them down
with your beverage
in the lunch line
listen to that one voice
that stops
all your vital organs from pulsating
and makes you wish
for a simple moment
in which your hands
might mesh
gradebook dreams
and chocolate nightmares
swallow you whole
and spit out another
hopeless overachiever
give my shoulder
a light squeeze
open your ears
to the sound produced
when fiction plummets down to
acrid reality

Close your eyes
listen to the wind;
feel the beat of your heart
Listen to it beating strong,
feel it steady like the
rush of a thundering
waterfall as it races
along its' path
Know that in time
you too will find
the key to
what you are
searching for
My hand
is here for you,
do not be afraid
to take it
My shoulder
is here for you
to lean on,
do not be afraid
to lean upon it
My heart
believes in you;
may you find the strength
to believe in yourself
When you walk along the path,
if you should falter,
I will be there to help
you stand strong again
And when you are ready
listen;
listen to your heart,
and follow your dreams
