They Say A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words...

Today, I'm just giving you pictures I've taken in the past couple months (which I may still use in future posts).  There is just too much to do and too little time to put all the thoughts running around in my head nicely into poetry LOL.  So I hope you enjoy these in the absence of words...

                   

(:  Have a great weekend everyone!!  :)

The Dancing Game

"The Dancing Game"

By:  Adrielle R. Bollin

Taking steps forward, back and to the side

Dancing, escaping from the label's backside

I've tried on the hats, looked both short and quite tall

But who can I be if I'm no one at all

I picked up the crowns and set them back down

Built up new castles and sewn up new gowns

Yet still I am no one since I choose no profession

I'm topsey and turvey like a nervous confession 

Delighting the game as I skirt to and fro

Dodging and diving in the winds and the glow

But soon I am tired with no place to stay

I want to lie down but then couldn't get away

So here in the shadow is where I shall hide

Until I can settle, until I decide

Who will I be, which label accept I

My future it hinges on the wisdom I fly

Escaping Definition

"Escaping Definition"

By: Adrielle R. Bollin

Defined as loyal, wise and true

Defined as innocent and un-skewed

Defined as fragile and easily broken

Which felt like unrelatable, unspoken

Defined as structured and obedient

As delightful like a chef's key ingredient

Defined as naive with no knowledge of real pain

Like I was unfeeling, inexperienced and  plain

 My heart was torn between the knowns and unknowns

The beauty of safety and the adventure of danger zones

I had to see for myself so I could say I'd been there

I needed to break away, to fly on my own fare

So I broke the rules and dirtied my mouth

Proved to myself I could go north or south

Split myself into pieces so as not to be defined

Choosing everything and nothing like wind in the mind

Until one day I found there no longer was a road
I had learned so much but felt lost and so alone

Aimless and weary, bitter and perplexed

I went a new way, risking whatever came next

Defying definition yet wanting to be known

I explored the deserts and mountains of stone

Spoke with the scavengers, the fliers and sages

Slipping from name to name always turning pages

New

"New"
By: Adrielle R. Bollin

Gonna go a new way
Cause today's a new day
And I feel a new sway
Reaching down to my legs

And I think I might skip
And double triple my trip
Because it just feels that good
To hear the way that I should

You know you bring me around
With just the slightest of sound
The way you love me's profound
Your heart for me it breaks ground

And you saved my soul
Though it was looking like coal
You took me under your wing
Now together we swing

Surely only you know
How to the ends I will go
Your sacrifice it did show
How much about me you know

I want to thank you in kind
For giving me this new mind
And this bright sunny sky
That money just couldn't buy
