C.S. Lewis, the Magician's Nephew, part of the Chronicles of Narnia series. Enjoy, they're a great ride.
Out of a Silent Planet
Into Perelandra
It must be That Hideous Strength
That keeps me going
As I read
A fascinating story
#poetry #writing #cslewis
I have a fascination with tide pools and little pools of water ever since I read Magician's Nephew as a kid. Always hoping jumping in one sends me to another world
I hope all the other writers also have tons of notepad entries of the random thoughts that enter their heads on a whim, that you have to speech-to-text because the idea is so fresh and potent and you gotta get it down...
Hoping when you want to sit down and manic write, it makes sense #writing

Preach it. Holy hell. And it's without even a reshare or repost or anything too
Homie loves to tickle itself with pointing out the physical world. Then it sees the everything beyond and gets freaked and has to find comfort in cosmic horror Eldritch worlds. As if that's more comforting than thinking of everything I don't know that I don't know 😅
What is my identity
If it was told to me
When I was born?
Who am I
When the computer algorithm
Assumes my makeup
And sorts me?
Where am I supposed to stand
When the ground
Rots out from beneath me?
I am, and therefore I must be,
Myself, always and forever

As am I proud of you for your journey to taking care of yourself here and now. It wasn't easy, but you did the impossible. And to help with the whole brain jar thing:
Isn't the brain itself floating in a dark room called the Skull, that keeps it squishy and wet? 🤣
I hear ya. I went from one point where I was barely eating and was stuck thin, thought that was healthy. Then started eating a lot, and gained a huge amount of weight. Then worked towards a healthy amount of eating, and am working on keeping that going.
We are living through equivalents of, if not worse versions of:
-A Nixon presidency
-The dotcom crash
-Proxy wars of Vietnam and the Koreas
-The Cold War
-McCarthyism
-And so much more...
All at the same time. And those who are older than me want to tell me that I should have bought a house at 20.
Had one that shone with a colorless light and was emblazoned on my psyche, never forgotten it since. Twas a very weird sigil tho
This piece of reality
That is forever growing
And yet also fading
Is and continues to be
The most tragically heartbreaking
Breathtaking experience
That I have ever lived.

How can I be lost
Even though I know
The road that led me here
The paths I can take in front of me?
How is it that I am lost
Even though I know
Exactly where I am?

Peace found in stillness
Does not prepare us
To find it
In the chaos
But in the chaos
When you can finally
Find the stillness and peace
It is infinitely more empowering
Than a lifetime of peace in stillness
#poetry #thoughts #writer
It's a thing of chance
That our atoms
Our entire existence
Relies on the sheer force of will
That they should exist
In this organization
In this way
At this time

In the eye
Sparkles
Starlight
Shines from inside
Out
Abyssal distance
Hides ethereal streaks
Gas and dust
Life itself
Swirl to stitch
A patchwork
A tapestry
Threads of life
For if not Fate
Then experience
And I am still
Thankful

This seems so interesting... 🤣
I cannot love you,
for our hearts have
melted from the war,
and our eyes are
blinded by the flames.
I cannot kiss you,
for our lips have been
burned by the war,
and our breath is
polluted with smoke.

A concrete warehouse
Has just as much beauty
As a copse of autumnal trees
A pile of clothes and decorations
Holds just as much beauty
As a car window full of raindrops
Sparkling in the light
The small moments
The minor things
Hold incredible beauty
#beauty #poet #writing #poetry #writingcommunity
Great things to enjoy, for sure. I do enjoy myself strawberries too, such great taste and flavor
The yielding that outlasts the force—
The world's fiercest powers
To rise and fade,
The strength without tenderness erodes.
Softness moving unseen,
like water wearing down stone,
shaping valleys,
carrying seeds—
the gentle gravity that pulls us back
toward what is real.
Blood of the trees
Moved through the roots
Pumped to its limbs
From earth to air
Blood of the tree
Blood of the earth
Blood of mine
Without it we fall
Without nature we do not bleed
If we do not bleed...
We are not natural

Goodnight, Bluesky ✨🌙
I carry silver linings
in my pockets
like loose change~
A little to spare
everywhere
I go

Among the skyscrapers
Built when humanity once believed
I stand upon my hopeful youth
When I still believed in good
And that others would rise up
Instead of an apathetic mass
That stumbles in sleep
My inner flame ignites
When in the crowd
I see others
With the same fire in their eyes

It's Scarlet Witch from Marvel's Avengers series and WandaVision and even her starring role in Doctor Strange's Multiverse of Madness. She can play very fun and silly but she is also the literal embodiment of chaos energy. So very fitting 🤣
Factory of Dreams.
Creation, seeping within—
and then, all throughout.
