Poem

A few observations...
I have watched an insane amount of girly movies over the past few months including He's Just Not That Into You, P.S. I Love You, The Diary of Briget Jones, etc. In all of these movies there were several romantic relationships between a girl and guy in a live-in situation. Not married but living together, and I'm beginning to see the trend of that theme in chick flicks. How common that is becoming.

In other news, I wrote this poem this morning...
A rare bloom
A bright spingy thing
Unfurls, lets fly
And unleashes everything
not trying to be seen
Not trying to be loud Not buried underneath
But head not in the clouds
Bounding out in all the wonder
Wide-eyed and learning
It rejoices in the thunder
It samples the world
Becomes a tad bit fatter
There are sour things
But they less than matter
She carries along
Learning to sing
The whole time hearing bells
From eternity's tower ring
Then one day she recieved all the frowns
Beating her up, pulling her down
People--no longer satisfied or pleased
Brought her low
Brought her to her knees
She ran and frantically ran
Searching for the warmth of the sun
She ran to the edge of herself
But still she found none
So she marched home in the rain
Through the mud and the distain
She threw off her colored robe
And was attended by sorrow
And was accompanied by sorrow
Everyone's wrath had she incurred
By way of being different
Of daring to live wide-eyed and free
And caring about those who didn't
The rain and dark clouds have marred her view
But she keeps watching for a sign of You
A ray of Son shining through
