MY RANDOM THOUGHTS

I used to think my love of random knowledge acquisition was a useless endeavour that had neither value nor benefit.  I have believed that the basic insight I hold into the myriad things I know is of no consequence in who I am, who I become, and what legacy I build.  But here I am learning, a student of the universe, if you will. A jack of all trades and a master of none, as they say, but often times, better than a master of one, hence the continuous amassing of random data. And a master of none, that I truly am. But somewhere along the way, I've found places they fit.  Places that gave me a sense of accomplishment, a sense of belonging, places that held the fragments of my existence as though they were miracles. I am still learning, and even though the span of my interests is as fragmented as a toddler's,  I am blossoming.  I am but a patina, an accumulation of layered yet temporary heavens. So dear Me, shall we then bloom wherever the universe plants us next?...

She put all her unsaid on paper  And suddenly, the world was much lighter A quiet release of the old, A requiem to all she'd been  Birthing resilience in the glide of her pen.    @Sue.Ketter 

As I join you on this tapestry called life With every stitch I will love you With every change of pattern, I will guide you If you run out of thread Do not fret, rest, I will hold you  And when you pick up a thread To stich your way forward  Remember to revel in the beauty of the tapestry   @Sue.Ketter 

She was both self-aware and unaware Sailing the in-betweens Never really belonging to herself For every phase, she became the place she was Trading one mask for another  Shading parts of who she was  Taking the new forms as though her own Fitting in and standing apart all at once.  @Sue.Ketter

Not giving up, Just letting go, The weighty expectations  Placed upon myself.   @Sue.Ketter

That you found me, living in the grey That you held me, shaking hands in fight mode That you hugged me, bruised and battered That you loved me, sharp edges and all     @Sue.Ketter

The consequential price she paid, The more she stood still  The more the shadows grew.   @Sue.Ketter

Love crossed her path  Dressed in sunset vibes and bad boy aura  Smiled and waved at her,  She took a breath, frowned  Doubtful  Gave a guarded smile Walked on, never looking back  Loving herself was long overdue.   @Sue.Ketter

It happened again  Inadvertently  Lingering déjà vu Caged herself within the confines of peace making  Locked the space outside  Thoughts racing, overlapping, stumbling To escape the cycle  Looping on and on.   @Sue.Ketter

She's a hard pill to swallow that one She leaves many a troubled souls in her wake  I shall equate her to a deluge.  @Sue.Ketter 

I am the gentle breeze, Flowing through quietly, The dead of night, The stillness in the silence, wherein I thrive. I am the lessons learnt, The scars I've carried are my blueprints, The culmination of all that sorounds me, The sum of which constitutes the person I become. In the midst of life's journey, Somewhere in time, In the echoes of certain uncertainty,  Where, in what form shall we meet again?   @Sue.Ketter

She was amazed, looking back  When she's at her most jagged era All they saw, her blank expression The quiet girl with the long hair She was holding onto strands of faith  So paper thin, she died a thousand times  To keep her sanity.   @Sue,Ketter

If my purpose was to be the light 🕯️, Grant me then  The grace to hold the candle still.     @Sue.Ketter

If the sky is the limit Then let me build  My castles in the sky To be a dreamer, dreaming  Dreaming  Painting with words Reaching up, rising  Touching lives  Pouring out from fantastical views Occasionally informed by reality   @Sue.Ketter

Gentleness does not equate weakness  As absence of violence does not equate gentleness. In her gentle presence  With quiet a smile  She's the picture of peace For to be benign  One must first inflame. Her gaze, it scotches  She's born of ferity She's been a phoenix  For to give light  One must first burn. In her still ways  She carries humility  She's every bit idyllic  For to be gentle  One must first burn.   @Sue.Ketter

A crown without a king Sits above the throne, For its owner to adorn it  He must be acknowledged  @Sue.Ketter

She walks with a skip in her step  There's a joyful demeanour to her spring Lost in thought, she seems gleeful. She's elacric for the days ahead  But in her eyes, there's hidden longing  Bursting to get through the smile. It shows on her face from time to time  She stares off wistfully for a moment  Then pulls back her smile just as quickly.   @Sue.Ketter 

I hear the words coming from you And I can hardly believe  There seems a disconnect To the actions that follow I try to read between the lines Incase I missed it What you say  What you mean  Do you ever mean the things you say?    @Sue.Ketter 

Someday past Lived a girl  Quiet had been her descriptive Say more Talk more How boring your company must be. Oh, but hey While they were looking  At her supposed flaw She was blooming Ever so slow. If her quiet caused them discomfort She was deeply, deeply unbothered; possibly See her journey, though still ongoing Has her unfurled, Growing For she was made for reticence.     @Sue.Ketter
