Hey awesome people. I have been extremely busy with school work(Finally started college!!! Might actually put up pictures later) hence my not being active over the past weeks, but I'm back, at least for now. It's past 2am and I have a class really early tomorrow, well today. But my hands were itching to put something down after not writing in so long, so I just wrote this. It was inspired by a conversation my friend and I had yesterday. Enjoy, and share your thoughts.
"I want to play in the rain!" Fade said. His eyes welled with screaming eagerness.
'No Fade, you will get a cold and fall sick afterwards!'
I wish we knew how to play in the rain. Without worries of how and why and when and what and what if.
How would we play in the rain? Why? What if we get a cold?
I wish we could still taste the doodles of childish abandon at the back of tongues.
I wish we knew how to laugh. the kind of laughter that cleanses the soul.
I wish we knew how to save, knew the power that lies in the opening of our mouths.
I wish we knew how to be happy, the kind of happiness that didn't run out.
I wish we knew where the end of the tunnel lay. Where we stop and say I think 'I have done enough now' and not look back and give into temptation to run again.
I wish we could see the finish line at the end of the race we run. Maybe it would be motivation to run faster.
I wish we had the key to the maze we lock ourselves in.
I wish we still sang the kind of songs that weren't heavy with age and experience.
I wish we remembered the aimlessness of sugary youth.
I wish our hands could fix the broken.
I wish our words were kind and humble.
I wish our world was kind and humble, and happiness came before success.
I wish we would try to understand what success is and maybe realize it cannot be tied to one thing.
I wish our wings were let to spread broader, discovering our limits or finding out we were limitless as we flew.
I wish our paths weren't drawn.
I wish we didn't lie to ourselves so often, we forget the truth.
I wish we could be thought the things we actually needed to know how to achieve.
But these things we really need to know, sometimes cannot be taught.
So I wish we at least knew how to dance in the rain and bask in the joy of the moment. Sink in this fountain of playful grace.
Until our minds are shut down or are reset to be what they used to be.
