A Life Worth Living

A life worth living
Men utter such words
Without regret in their heart
Nor wrinkle to their touch

Without wisdom in his tongue
Or studder to his step
Many summers in his heart
Two footsteps into his quest

A life worth living
How can you savor such words
Moistening of the pallet
The universe setting into the iris

A map for whats to be seen
Showing you where to look
How to look and what you see
Yet we still miss pertinent things

A life worth living
How can you measure such words
Is the key to expansion in knowing
Or the means to pacify

Neon moons, spirits, and souls
Living lives worth nothing
Beyond the ones irreparably changed
Refusing to bloom for spring

A life worth living
Words i draw on
Relishing nice and slow
Looking for adjoinment

I search for the
Epiphany within you
So that we can be
The uncontested truth

Bored in this place
Discontent in my eyes
Restlessness in my soul
Thoughts that aren't wise

Wiping static from my brow
Dusting time from my chest
Inactive activity actively searches for a quest

One hundred percent capability running lower than five
Looking into a vast cavity
Once occupied by life

Universal enormity
Ponderings relative to that size
Quasars represent this stagnation over time
Examine my vast beauty and humor me with whats surmised

For all the things we least expect
From the love we often neglect
Life and all is prospect

Words of the departed slow and soft
Smiles from the disheartened slightly aloft
Finding ways to forward the cost

Mine eyes have seen the glory
Narration and author of another story
What was promised was not what was left for me

My life and all that i possess
My strength beauty and depth
The greatest arts created all inept

Smiles gently placed between discontent
Found agnosticism listed next to kin
Searching without looking
Live on a whim

"The world i know is a world to slow"
Waiting for masses to become those who know
Planting seeds to reap what i sow

Ethos

"It's something unpredictable but in the end it's right.I hope you had the time of your life."


The time has slowly passed me by
Memories I couldn't retain
All the love passed through my heart
Decaying on my frame

Simple things I ponder now
Like how well I have learned
Wondering if I can reconnect
Or are all my bridges burnt

Living proof that somethings right
Truth in my daughters eyes
Hold her as closely as I possibly can
Comfort through my night

Will I leave something worth her honor
and something worth her love
How can I detoure the wrong
When she is outside of my hug

It's something unpredictable but in the end its right, I hope she has the time of her life.

For all the love we didn't start
Pieces of heart outlined in chalk
Evaporated tears in the flames of anger
Love learned, lost, and strained, left to linger

There are many ways we've approached the our end
Countless lovers in changing winds
Glancing at the world for a reflection of love
Warmth through shudders of the abyss's hug

Many words string along the path of a tune
Whistling slowly through decrepit ruins
Ill guard this place in hopes to restore
A bond we shared and hearts adored

Autumn Amia Murdock

I wish that you never cry
And that I never break your heart
I wish I never disappoint you
And that we never grow apart
I hope you"ll always know that I love you
And that you never feel alone
I hope I'll be your hero
When I am old and brittle in my bones
I pray your life's poetic
Not by assembly of any words
I pray that your always joyful
And that your voice is always heard
We wish we never fail
We hope you always grow
We pray that when comes to life, love is the first lesson that you know

Question

Like rising from the waters into the darkest cave, devoured by the coldest jaws
Like feeling time and space rush furiously past you in a race to the end
Logic escaping all laws
Because laying down is easier than flying
The answer heard in a place where love is the only denying
The Question
Why is heaven and God so far away and hell and the devil so close
Like knowing things are far nearer to home than most
Like feeling the pain of the past creep into the back of your cognizance, forcing your eyes to shut
Like being powerless to assist change, life spent decaying in one single endless rut
Like never experiencing, but knowing the pain of going without
Because having love and not having love still ends in the feeling of a love that's been lost
Once I was asked to fathom how it would feel to drown in your on tears
Although I haven't reached the point drowning I have helped the waters climb over the years

Harmonic Dreams

Can i retreat
Deep into the darkness
Running to the soothing pace of melancholy
The loudest silence
The symphony of my mind
Can you hear it
The piano solo
Soft notes that soften the interior
Can you feel it
Gentle strokes like finger tips
Reaching for your understanding
It thinks of you
Never forgetting who you are
That you are
Waiting
Waiting for soft notes to catch softer tear drops

The pages of my diary stop flipping in embracing the next words
While the imitation that is birthed from my life stands lonely
Looking for the calm in me the calm in my soul
Waiting for the beauty, a song or maybe just for a story to unfold
But in the advent of the nonsense and the first born daddys little girl
A soon to be father is busy trying to prep for her and clense the world
I am sorry art you are my main love but maybe time away would be great for the both of us

Wednesday Rewind

I know its not Wednesday yet but i dont know when or if i will be able to get on tomorrow, sooo, this is for you guys. I wanted to repost one of my older post, one of my favorites acually. I hope you guys enjoy this one, it came to me during thoughts of what i should right for a friend, but here you guys go. "Autum Leaves"

When you look into my eyes

Do you look into my soul

Can you reflect what I reflect

Or capture what I behold

When you see my many treasures

You may just say they are fallen dead leaves

That I partake in foolish collection

And that they only cloud me

But I say to you even though they have fallen

Me catching them is not utterly absurd

I choose to softly care for them

And the serenity of my peace they do not disturb

I let them resonate through my being

So that they may have a peaceful resting place

They may throw away all their worries

As they float on all my grace

I am fine being this puddle

That catches those who fall

Since i know i cant restore them

Into my being they dissolve
