I have always been jealous of those who can always find the right words for what they want to say, and can say it well. Me, I have to work on this skill. Right now I am experiencing a jumble of emotions and don't know where to even begin to start writing... so I thought I would try my hand at 'poetry'. Let me know what you think.

Journey

I love the cool breeze kissing my skin lightly
The red hot sand hugs my sinking toes
And the wind throws it back in my face
Rocks collide
I look up

My arms are pictured against an ocean sky

How did I come to a place such as this?

Lizzards scatter as I step to the beat of my drum
They can't handle my sandals in this place
I am sorry, I am just trying to find my home
Just passing through

The sun is beating down on me
Asking me to give it another chance
But I don't think I can

The horizon travels endlessly
Like a hungry voyager
Open space all around me
And I have no where to hide

I see the cacti who hold their ground so firmly
How I wish for their resolve
I am thirsty
___________________________________________________________
Letting the words fly off my tongue
And die on the vine
Give until it hurts
My heart is twisted
I am homeless
Inside me is muddled
My face drawn
My eyes sting with tiredness
Wishing for forever
Yet never
I am suspended
Let me free
Let me breathe
