Indecisive Confusion.
Today I will do anything -
please give me the answers.
The signs are too ambiguous
for my over-analytical mind.
Give me a drug to swallow -
hallucinations are better than reality.
Just tell me which choice to make -
to listen is easier than to find.
Can I just be you for a while?
Can you take me for a while?
And bring me back with answers
swimming in crystal waters?
You are coming. I am going.
I don't want our paths to cross.
Or do I?
Is the reason mine or to find
an answer to society's question?
I look at the bricks around me.
They are not mine nor do i want them.
How many hours of how many lives
were sold cheaply to lay them there?
Is this what I am here for?
Quickly before it is too late
to leave my mark, or the price to high
to buy my security...
tick... tock... tick...
The pendulum swings.
There are no batteries here
to stop it for a while, no spot
to lean and rest and catch your breath.
You must act now!
Venom is so easily
concealed in juicy apples.
Your fangs are well-rehersed
at leaving no trace of your bite.
Why must I be there or be here?
We must all be somewhere
but I want to be everywhere
... or nowhere... or inbetween...
The road less travelled
offers far better sights,
yet its surface is rocky
...and treacherous...
There is a storm coming.
I am the lightning.
I am the thunder.
I am the wind that blows.
Just where I will strike.
Just how loud I will roar.
Just how hard I will blow.

I love the way you wrapped these sentiments up in the apple....
I hope you find the peaceful path forward soon ... I don't s'pose telling you now, that it will all be alright, would help? ... sheesh, if only I could follow my own advice *slapping forehead* /seriously/ I hope the meeting isn't too stressing...

I like a more broadly focussed perspective, no matter how well written.
That will make me very unpopular around here, but what 's new?, and I'm concerned that like encourages like.
Lift your eyes to the stars and count those blessings. That's the way I would do it. But, then again, I don't really know what is bothering you.
An alternative view should not be dismissed out of hand, I am not being unkind, I am, in reality, being very kind, so kind as to risk my 'popularity'
I just have to be truthful, Ash.
Look at my 'ceiling' whenever you please, visiting a Church with old stained glass windows might be a bigger help.

I remember a while ago you wrote that you weren't all that comfortable with questions in your world... perhaps this might be a good time to start appreciating them?

The temptation of the apple is sometimes difficult to resist, especially when it is wrapped up in something so juicy!
I`m sure everything will be ok in the end so thank you... so many meetings to come, which way will the traveller go....

Thanks, always good to see you! Confusion conjures up many images doesn`t it? I guess that`s what`s confusing about it
Everywhere I`m going these days I`m seeing telephone books ~chuckle~ they kinda stand out at you when pointed out.

It`s not really depression, it`s just frustration! I have been juggling so many things that either I need to drop all the balls and start again, chuck out a few and add a few more or just change my part of the circus completely - ya know what i mean?
But that`s just life and I`m a huge over-analyser which means I tend to sit still while I ponder what to do... but time keeps marching on.... and on....
I count my blessings every day - trust me i do. Self-reflection is important to me because I`m so fiercely independent - I need to remain true to myself (without sounding selfish). Having a vent sometimes helps see the bigger picture.
Stained glass windows have seen me through many a night in turmoil!

Just a little vent before i actually do become the storm and cause chaos and destruction! Anger is a terribly destructive force, especially when combined with frustration!
Thanks for stopping by, always good to see you!

Yeah there are some questions that will always remain unanswered for me, I suppose that`s just part of life. And I also suppose that deep down we already know the answers but facing them is scary. I need a shovel I think so I can start digging around to find them
Always good to see you

I love this so much....You've just captured every word so right....And the ending has such blazing hope!

For me, you've captured that frustration of being stuck and kind of unable to go forwards or backwards. And heck, not knowing which way you want to go cos there's so much going on (if that makes any sense at all).
It's good to vent. Bottling it up never did anyone any good!!!
A darker piece, but as always, beautifully written

I was practising my cackle... but then I thought that may be a bit much

That makes perfect sense - you got it 100% ! People say they come to a crossroads? Well sometimes you kinda feel like you are about to cross one of those major highway connections, with about 20 roads branching off and you have all these cars zooming past you and have to make your decision NOW before you miss the turning! whew! It`s exhausting!

I hate living in the "in between", the present and the past, "what is and what is possible." I can't tell you how many times I have had the exact sentiment expressed so eloquently by you. Where is the crystal ball or the magic wand? (And all this coming from one who is generall decisive) grrrrrrr! Wonderful post friend1

I tend to feel like this around this time every year, I;m not sure if has to do with it being Spring or another birth day on the doorstep or even getting to the end of another year.... it all just comes so quickly...
Unfortunatley I live in limbo with my visa.... only 6 more weeks to go now, after being postponed YET AGAIN.... then it`s party time - we will rock this Orble joint
Well if you have these feelings and you, as you say, are generally decisive then I feel somewhat normal.... YYAAYY!!!!!
Thanks Mis, always good to have you visit!

The fall is when the wanderlust really hits me. I think that with every birthday we look inward.
I can't wait for the Par-tay!!!

I missed the autumn when I was in the UK as I was travelling elsewhere so I have never really seen one before (we don`t really get season in Africa - it`s just varying shades of hot
I can imagine that it would be a time of reflection though - the pictures always look so beautiful!
Yeah birthdays certainly get a lot more interesting as the years FLY by!
Rock on sistah!
