Being happy is probably the most important thing that I can
think of in my future. Everyone always says to do what makes you happy, so that
is my plan. I can’t imagine being happy without my friends and family. They are
a part of me that can’t be replaced. I also can’t imagine a future where there
are not at least a million books. Whether I have written them or not reading has
been a lifelong passion that I see enduring through my entire life time. I also
want painting to be a major part of my future. I have developed such a love and
appreciation to many different forms of art and painting just heads the top of
the list. I have always seen myself otherwise having a fairly simple future.
Spending my rainy days inside and watching it pour with a smile. Also, cats for
company. Cats are just something that has always been in my home and a home
without cats just seems strange. Just one or two is enough for rainy day
company. Though I can’t see myself ever
getting married, I have always seen myself being a parent. While I won’t
exclude finding a significant other, I know children are a big part of my
future.
I
see it now
Surrounding
The
rain
The
sun
The
colors flowing
Surrounding
Forming
into
Shapeless
rainbows and shades
of
color yet to be seen
Voices
and people
Melding
into the sounds of
Rain
and thunder
And
words piling around me
I
smile isn’t washed under
The
rain flowing
From
the open window
The
words on the page blur
But
I close my eyes
And
they are still there
Swirling
in the colors behind my eyelids as the
Rain
patters across my cheeks
as
soft as kitten fur
Seeking,
wanting attention
The
pattering of
Rain
soon
Joins
the background of the symphony
of
voices and laughter
An
yelling that
Surrounds
me
A
controlled chaos
That
sounds of
Light
Of
joy
The
sounds of my happiness
The
sound of my home
Samantha,
ReplyDeleteTerrific poem! You broke from your mold! This is great!
Excellent, imaginative approach to this week's poem assignment. I really enjoy your vision board - awesome images and very cool concepts. Great goals. It's nice to see it all laid out in a visual essay. Great work!
I am sure that you create many of these images for yourself as you venture forth... maybe somewhere new, maybe to a creative inner space. I think that being a writer is a great goal for you.
Now try to imagine the path for that goal. What's it look like to you?
