To believe and have faith In the invisible beings A risky gamble in the eyes of some Awaiting a moment of proof Of magic, miracle or fantasy No concrete to hold on to Whimsical facts and illusions Like the fairytales of childhood And yet we hold the unscientific For our eyes are open to synchronicity […]

I was one of many swans
In a spacious pond

Every swan was social and peaceful
They rode the waters with such ease
As they rode they felt an adventurous pull

Every where they went they were seekers
Seekers of food, shade or a scenic swim
Or they gathered around older swans like they were teachers

But not I
I can’t lie

I would scramble for food and push others away
It would ruffle their feathers
But I was a famished swan by day

And at night I would wake up lot of the swans with a yelp
It would ruffle their feathers
But a night it was my cry for help

I felt so utterly alone
Like my heart was made of stone

They thought I was greedy
But deep inside I knew the truth
I was just desperately needy

From dusk to dawn
I have learned the hard way
I will always just be a disgraceful swan

It’s a chilling suspense

We are truly blessed

To live in this beautiful universe of ours

Filled with glorious planets and stars

And like miniature galaxies spread throughout the universe

All thrusting towards its course

 

We may be alone

I find that hard to believe

But this wonder of life sets a curious tone

Follow me now on this galactic tour

We will first go to Saturn

To its icy ring so liquid pure

It’s ring is so paper thin

It’s width looks like that of a pin

 

Now we will venture to the dwarf planet Pluto

Its icy surface with some metal make an interesting duo

It’s made up of nitrogen, methane, and carbon monoxide

It almost had elements suitable for life, but didn’t, is the downside

But we will find another forms of existence

If not in this galaxy

In the heavens that are in the distance

Angels so benevolent

Dancing like they are heaven sent

Or earthly-type creatures living in paradise

You may think I am living in the future

But heaven, one day, will be right before our eyes

A true galactic tour, not just a Biblical rumor

I have an outstretched hand

Against the purplish pink marble sky

In deep surrender to my reliable Creator

 

 

holograms

The year is 2035

Yeah, it’s an interesting time to be alive

I am on the highway

The Uber self-driving car got in my lane

I almost got badly hurt

I am taking this to court

Filing lawsuit

The law said it was my fault

Even though, the car went into my lane

But what they won’t tell you is,

It was 5% system failure fluke

 

When you are born

They implant a chip on you

They say it helps to keep birth records and eventually keep revenue

 

There are robots, machines and drones everywhere

They used to create a great big scare

Now they are the norm

They help us weather life’s storm

They even become friends with the dogs and other animals

 

2035 is a strange matrix

A strange climate we have created

But it’s nothing compared to this…

 

Having a hologram of yourself

If you can’t get a hold of me, don’t worry

There are plenty of me to go around

They look just like me

But they have no soul

They talk just like me

And feel emotions with tears

But if you look close enough

They have a chip in their ear

 

What do we tell our children?

The world used to not always be this way?

Our brains are shrinking

As we let computers do our thinking

Yes, we evolve, as a species grow taller

But our hearts grow smaller

 

Yes, the say the world is continuing to get worse

Another person filed for bankruptcy or divorce

But then, at the same time, it’s getting much better

The darkness is being exposed

And the incredible love that does exist keeps on our toes

God’s light burns up our deceitful and harmful ways

Because He is the Ancient of Days

Welcome to 2035

I was born in 1990 and I have already lived in 2 centuries. To live through 3 centuries I would have to live to live to be 110. What a great feat but that is a long time to live. I love life, enjoy the big moments as well as the small ones. But I would never want to find the fountain of youth…

Would you want to live forever on Earth and never die, if you could? Why or why not?

Portugal the Man was great! This was my second time seeing them. I can “feel it still.” (Portugal the Man song reference. lol.) 🙂

Above is a pic of my sister, Casey and her boyfriend Brian and I (I am on the left):

And sister moment:

IMG_3860

Don’t we look like sisters?

Have you ever seen them live before? What was the last live act you have seen?

 

 

I am about to go see Portugal the Man with my sister, boyfriend Brian and their friend JP in Houston, TX. I am an artsy nerdy young lady. My sister is a hipster gardening woman. Brian is a computer whiz. And JP is quirky, quiet but funny one-liner type of guy. So Portugal the Man better get ready for this crew!

Portugal the Man is showcases Indie Rock with Psychedelic Pop. It’s such a beautiful combo. I am going to have to pick up one of their records or T Shirts to add to my repertoire.

Updates and pics coming…
