PB&J, Oreos, and Water

So more than two months without a blog post.  It's weird because a lot has happened in the last two months.  Joy and I have been dating for a month and a half, I graduated, the first Reflections Tour was started and completed, and I am living in Long dorm still on limited funds looking for a job and living on interesting foods.  It's been a good time.

Poetry

So I'm working on stuff for my creative writing portfolio. I have this poem that I like pretty well except for the second stanza.  If anyone has any input on any part of it, feel free to criticize.

Original                                                               Ideas for Revision

Fallen Beauty                                                   Fallen


How beautiful is                                            

The blood that splashes                              The blood that splashed

The stones he walked on.

 

How beautiful was                                         How beautiful are

The lover’s adultery                                       Joanna's affairs

That destroyed marriage.                            While her husband dies.

 

How beautiful are

The brother’s crimes that                            Thieves and murderers

His siblings ignore.                                         That hide in the night.

 

How beautiful are

The idols we worship

And bow in front of.                                        On the silver screen.

 

How beautiful were                                       How beautiful are

The words she spoke when                         Vanities Spoken

She could have said none.                           In dens of gossip.

 

How beautiful is

The sin we commit

When covered in blood.

God has been working in amazing ways lately.  Things that I hadn't thought possible a few months ago are happening.  I don't know what's going to happen over the next couple of months, but I'm ready for it.

A new dawn

After so long, I have realized who I am.  My cares and worries gone away--replaced by joy and contentment.  It makes me laugh.  I have watched others turn to blabbering fools--am I to become one?  I really don't care anymore.  I am becoming free.  I am seeing the world anew.  It is as if i am dancing on a wooden beam.  I could fall at any moment.  I should be terrified, and yet I find it soothing.  Missteps so not exist for me.  What could once have sent me screaming to my doom becomes a brand new flourish that sends my audience to awe.  Sheer exhilaration.  How quaint.
