Day 45
Title: Plastic bags and papers in the wind
Theme: Writing
Matching Poem:

Maybe we are nothing but
plastic bags and papers in the wind.

Not hollow and worn, ripped to tatters –
no. I’ve stretch myself thin around you
desperately holding everything together by the seams.
But the weight of you is heavy, dear
and my splits have started to part.
It hurts to hold you together now
I think it’s time to let go.

I don’t think you’ll handle it out there
where the world is loud, dark and grim
it tries to sink its claws into your skin
and tear you physically apart.

We are like papers in the wind
separate strips that have been crumpled.
Little crevices to remember who we were,
what we did,
little cervices to remember
that we can move on.

Trust in God and all else follows.

Day 46
Title: Oceans can't stem loneliness
Theme: None
Matching Poem:

Oceans can’t stem loneliness.
Trust me, I would know.
I’ve done all I could to stretch my arms to you,
to pull these bones into flexible form
and twist
until they’ve wrapped around you.

My faith is like the tide
pulling forward and backward
come day and night.
My voice pleads to stop the flow
and dive into the deep end;
but to trust in the unknown, the unseen
when trust is a foreign word to these lips themselves
is hard.

Sometimes I sit on the shore:
toes dipped in the foamy ledge
and wonder about trivial words.
Words like maybe and what if.
What if you were here beside me
walking across waters
and seated by my side?

And for all my wishes whispered in the wind
they drift away and shall never be true.
But trust me, I know,
oceans can’t stem loneliness.

Day 48
Title: Skater Girl
Theme: Skateboards
Matching Poem:

Skater girl, skater girl
thought ‘bout where ya goin’?
Over the hills
and under the mountains
and far away from here.

Skater girl, skater girl
don’t ya already know?
Once you’re in you can’t get out
metal bars will tear you down
with all your attempts.

Oh, skater girl, skater girl
don’t leave me behind.
Hold my hand, we’ll wheel away
and disappear into the fading day
because whatever happens in life
we’ll face it on, together.

Title: S t r e t c h
Theme: Yoga
(Yes that is me!)
Matching Poem:

When I great the morning light
I pull my hands over my head
and
s t r e t c h

sinking away my sorrows of the previous day

trusting in the hope that another morn is better

remembering all the days that gave me cause for joy

easing my soul of its aches and pains

trying to hold back the stress at the surface

creasing my lips into a smile

happiness.

I s t r e t c h into my being, my body
and feel ready to face whatever comes my way.

Day 50
Title: Skater Girl II
Theme: Skateboards
Matching Song:

VERSE 1
These days I wake up and fall down cause of pressure.
People telling me to grow up and put in effort.
Because life is starting now
and if you don’t move in tow
you’ll be forgotten, left for rotten;
a spark that faded out.

CHORUS
I can’t keep on running this fast.
Life’s getting in the way.
I’ve tried to be the best I can
but stress pushes on my brain.
So I’m gonna skate
I’m gonna skate
away.
So I’m gonna save
I’m gonna save
myself today.

RAP 1
I wish I was a skater girl
I’d wheel it like I make them whirls
and riding in the bright sunlight
I’d ride them boys in the night.

They wouldn’t see what hit em
when I crash into the big ‘uns
hoop them earrings through ma ears
now watch me changing gears.
Plaid shirts hangin in the wind
I’d blow them boys over since

I flatten em with ma heels
chillin on em little wheels
and leave them with their mouths a-gape
gonna have ta pass em up some tape
to shut their mouths, stop em drooling
cause it’s me they want to jump maaaaaan

Ride my board to that bottom
girls if ya got it best flaunt em
let that bounce when you run
them boys all of my suns
Yeah I own em and grown em
but when I’m sick Imma throw em
cauuuse
ain’t got time for nuisance
ya booty worth that two cents
chillin on em chains
So I just skate away
Boy I just skate away.

CHORUS
I can’t keep on running this fast.
Life’s getting in the way.
I’ve tried to be the best I can
but stress pushes on my brain.
So I’m gonna skate
I’m gonna skate
away.
So I’m gonna save
I’m gonna save
myself today.

RAP 2
Skater girl, skater girl
why ya gotta move so fast
hold back on that pumpin girl
cause we about to crash.

Man you move too fast for life
struggling every day with growin strife.
Time ta hit the slow lane now
bout time we bend back right now.

Got so many things to do,
but writing it down dun seem no use
So I hand it all over to you
so ya better do what ya gotta do
otherwise you’ll end up through.
otherwise you’ll end up through.

otherwise, otherwise, otherwise you’ll end up through.

CHORUS
I can’t keep on running this fast.
Life’s getting in the way.
I’ve tried to be the best I can
but stress pushes on my brain.
So I’m gonna skate
I’m gonna skate
away.
So I’m gonna save
I’m gonna save
myself today.

VERSE 2
But in the end I’ll keep rolling,
keep moving on.
I’ll be myself, I’ll make it through
and do what I need to do.

Life won’t pull me down,
I’m flying above the ground
and you can’t get me no more.
No you won’t touch me, no more.

I can’t keep on running this fast.
Life’s getting in the way.
I’ve tried to be the best I can
but stress pushes on my brain.
So I’m gonna skate
I’m gonna skate
away.
So I’m gonna save
I’m gonna save
myself today.

FADING OUT
So I’m gonna skate
I’m gonna skate
away.
So I’m gonna save
I’m gonna save
myself today.

Day 51
Title: Postcard Perfect
Theme: The Sky
Matching Poem:

for all the screams of agony
and tears that glittered on the edge of her lashes
the cry silenced as one danced among her own
and she cried then,
her webbing of lashes broken
as a slippery little body
was tucked into her own.

for all the times the corners of his dry lips
slipped upwards into a smile
that sank a hole into his cheek
and the tickling rumble started deep within
before he threw back his head
and released it into the air.

for that one perfect moment,
a body suspended mid air
as if it could fly – soar far away
and the rush of red adrenaline
swooped through the body
before a cry of fear escaped.

for the very last moment
all hope and joy abandoned
until nothing but fear remains
only a signaling stone to remind us
of what once was, who he once was
but could never quite capture a living human
in its ice cold gleam.

for all those postcard perfect moments
there’s a word to be said, an appearance to admire
and new wisdom to collect.

Day 53
Title: Out of My Mind (based on the novel by Sharon M. Draper of the same title)
Theme: None
Matching Poem:

If I had a mind like that
which could juggle numbers
at the speed of lightning,
splitting them, multiplying them
solution ready in seconds.

If I had an equation
that could be copy pasted to life
and deleted once an update
was just a mouse click away.

If I had a mind like that...
a life like that...
then I'd truly admire
what this body could do.

Day 54
Title: Paint Kisses
Theme: None
Matching Poem: (an Aubade Poem)

Light kisses brush my lips in the gentlest of ways,
like paint caresses the canvas
before shrouding it in gloriously vibrant colours
that enhance every glance, every inch of the piece.
I open my eyes to the morning light
and claim the paint kisses as my own.
The rising sun filters through the blinds
and swell my heart
as the magic begins.

Angel’s wings,
gorgeous things.
Beautiful days

although living –
my way
of sight
are angels dancing through lightened
greys.

Day 56
Title: Switzerland
Theme: None
Matching Poem: (an Arabian Sonnet)

Tonight every syllable is a caress to my name
for as the morning light kindles to a dark flame
only to this blessed soil can I claim
my own kind of home, this Switz sort of frame.
An honour to our people, we rise with righteous wings
but we are gracious and kind-hearted to all sorts of things:
to the earth and planets; a peaceful tune we bring.
And despite what a small area of land we own
in all the earth our international community is known
and as we travel the world, it can be shown.
We shall soar high, like the mightiest bird
resounding through this place, our voices will be heard
and a single breath of ‘Switzerland’ shall be the final word.

Day 57
Title: China Dolls
Theme: Dolls/play toys
Matching Poem: (an Australian [Bowlesioan] Sonnet)

Living through the glitz and fame
with money lining each leather purse
it’s impossible to imagine life being worse
than if your beautiful size lost its frame.
Because when beauty everything, especially the face
the methods and make up get lost along the way
and anyone without the pale face cut are thrown away.
Oh, how these China Dolls forget the rest of their race.
Who suffer everyday as slaves worth naught
not a penny to buy food, not a moment to lose,
if you had to slave for family, what would you choose?
And so in a vicious life circle they are caught.
But you dear frail China Dolls, keep living your lives,
while you ignore the rest of our silent cries.

Title: Cracks and Dust gather at the surface
Theme: Flower Pots
Matching Poem:

Cracks and dust gather at the surface
but that is alright, my dear
as long as the core stays whole.
Don’t let those chips sink deeper, darling
just smile it all away.
As darker hair shall fade to grey
the pain may linger,
but keep it on the surface or else
it will burn you to ashes.

Day 59
Title: 4 Legs, 2 Wheels, Different Minds
Theme: Chairs
Matching Poem:

1 time I wished to be different.
2 live an adventure, cross the seas, be
3 and happy
4 all my days.

But now I am changed.
1 body, but limited
2 these metal wheels.

I don’t want to be different anymore,
encased in this broken body.
Let it be known above all else –
my mind longs to take it all back
and be 1 again.
