Ever been placed in such a position that you never know what to really do, or how anything you do will change anything at all?

Well in this past week i’ve gained a stalker, temporarily lost a friend who joined the army, and gained a top 10 spot in my company. So all in all its been a very mixed week of emotions. Yet to be or not to be is the question I ask myself, like should I be happy or sad, or should be on top of the world or just stay low.

But all in all i’ve found the best way to deal with negative things is to channel them into a different avenue of life, turn that hate into strength, turn that sadness into power to keep going. Do something positive and never keep your head down on the ground.

Too much in life to live for. Never take a moment in life for granted.

Can you imagine a world
of new green and blue?
Strange creatures we’ve only conjectured
roam a land connected together.
The air reeks of sulfur and foreign
songs and roars ripple through the
landscape.

Can you imagine the feeling of fire?
The light in the night when moon is dark
and the clouds aren’t rivaling.
The amazement of warmth spreading from toes
to head. The taste of meat
cooked over the flames searing the outsides.
When the fire starts
plans begin.

Can you imagine seeing an unspoilt
land of beauty from beside the billowy masts?
Lush and vivacious, air of freshness.
Wafts of hyacinth saturate the senses
Untamed- a new start for the failures of the past.

Never learned just repeated.

Can you imagine before today?

c.2008 Jennifer M Scott
