Monday Mural #2 - Faith

Faith

Drowning

Despairing

Giving in to the pain

No longer able to battle on

I sink to the depths of the depth

Somber

Blue

Letting that cloud of gloom

Take over every thing, every moment

The haze of depression overwhelms

Letting go

Trusting you

Knowing it is no longer in my hands

And I need to let you step in

Take over, lift me up, carry me on.

Breakthrough

Fresh Air

A ray of sunlight through the clouds

A spot of hope amidst the drudge

Again you show yourself to me, unexpectedly.

Monday Mural #1

I'm trying new memes for inspiration while trying to do NaPoWriMo in April.

"Monday Mural will feature a picture/ artwork for you to lend your words (poem or story) each Monday".

I love this concept, and this particular piece of art is incredible, so I knew I had to jump on board.

This poem is a bit of a different piece for me, but I kind of like it.

Celebrity

Like wings
beating against the wind
frenzied movements
in their urge to take flight
her thoughts a whirl
her emotions chaotic
The flashes of light
calls for attention
"Over here, over here"
The endless barrage of questions
Like birds preying on roadkill
They move in, and peck,
peck away at her soul
"One more picture"
"Smile for the camera"
"Who are you dating"
"What are you wearing?"
Fame comes at you
with no instruction manual
but a hefty pricetag.
