    WISDOM PENCIL by dhaval

    Every thing in our life holds a meaning
    Every object, every omen hold words unsaid
    White walls talk often, but we never listen
    We can learn a little from every crumb of bread
    If only we seek to know what lies beneath
    Wisdom can flow from even a pencil lead

    We never look beneath the outer beauty
    Let our eyes drink but the external face
    But now see what I show you, come with me
    That black graphite beneath the surface
    Dull and soft, captive in yellow paint
    Tells a story from within its wooden case

    Listen close enough; the lead will say:
    Everything you do always leaves an imprint
    Like each time the graphite marks the paper
    So does every action decide our life’s tint
    Though the lead may never say it aloud
    Look beneath; you’ll get the hint

    Dotted your Ts and crossed your Is?
    Worry not, the eraser works just fine
    This is where the second lesson lies
    Mistakes get sorted, both yours and mine
    So let us not be captives of our pasts
    God gave us a life, but not to cry and whine

    To learn some more you must visualize
    So close your eyes and try to imagine
    A pencil not of wood, but wrought in gold
    Only this one lacks the lead within
    The outward charm holds no value if
    The heart rots beneath the veiling skin

    Pain is a blessing, sometimes disguised
    For then experience enters our door
    And our lives get better and more sublime
    A lead would teach this, lesson number four
    As sharpening a pencil causes it pain
    But better it gets, penning poems and more…

    We humans believe we know it all
    And that there is no superior being
    But sometimes we must humble down
    And cut off our imaginary silver wings
    Because from bins of dust to pencil leads
    A lesson resides in every single thing.

    'Her Magnificent Hair'

    By: Sarah Ann
    10-10-06

    Cascading through love and time,
    Wind whistles through her hair
    Blowing it in all directions,
    Letting it gleam, brighter than the sun

    She flips it angelically to the side
    And lets it fall down her back, so easily
    In meditation she slightly brushes her fingers through…

    Worries fade away
    And sorrows melt in darkness,
    As her hair is touched by the warmth of the sun.

    It seems as if even the wind that rattles the cage
    Cannot break the masterpiece there.

    She lets down her hair at night
    Sorrows float and fly away without worry
    Nothing flaws her beauty, still, perfected,
    She is a portrait for the arts;
    A decoration for nature.

    Her hair is gorgeous.

    I wonder if she notices
    How a flip of her head
    Brings butterflies around
    To all who see…
    As she portrays the magnificence;
    The natural beauty of hair.

    ((Meh, I don't know...Oh wellz.))

    Red polish on my toenails

    Swaying as one, alone on the dance floor,
    Holding on to you closely is all I could ask for.
    Pressing your lips against mine nicely,
    As the music plays in the background softly.

    After spending days perfecting the way I look,
    (Studying how to be the best EVER in a book)
    Perfecting my hair, and the polish on my nails,
    My toe polish glimmering in the light that unveils.

    Make-up in tack, not a blemish in sight,
    I made sure that tonight was the night.
    To show I am pretty, and I can be hot,
    And my great boyfriend sees what I’ve got.

    My nails all trimmed, hair flawless now,
    No more getting called ugly or a fat cow.
    Tonight is the night when everything changed,
    Homecoming. The end of being deranged.

    Gasoline Rainbows [gasoline]

    Even when gasoline
    mixes with water
    A rainbow appears.
    On the squares of concrete
    when it is poured
    brings forth a magical sphere.

    Bright colors remembered
    in the smell of it's breath
    Takes hold in the site.
    Causing the wonder
    of beautiful things
    that glisten so bold and bright.

    Bring forth the colors
    That have reflected
    in the moons face
    Upon the earth
    tarnished with pain
    dances in musical grace.

    Its tune sung in sorrow
    by a voice now bestowed
    upon the sweet colors
    Of gasoline rainbows..

    Beauty Of Water {Water, duh}

    Flickering with elation deep within the water,
    Pixies glow graciously to speak of love.
    Liquid so grandigious dancing to shine,
    As the moon radiates light from above.

    Gentle sweeping water, flowing with pride,
    Push away the dreaming spirits of tonight.
    Socery of liquid by love quickly takes over the lie,
    Of gurgling water, to the shores of light.

    Water so beautiful, so loving and grand,
    Flows deeply set within a tone of blue,
    Shining with pride of many gods,
    Sipping up lies, turning them true.

    This is what binding water falls do,
    Sitting handsomely amongst the wind of fair,
    Lending an ear of sympathic pity,
    This is the beauty of the water so rare.

    Sweet Smells

    Sweet scent of a fresh rose bud
    Warm cookies mom just baked
    Newly mowed lawn in the morning
    Autumn heaven in leaves raked

    Johnson's shampoo on the baby
    Cologne on a passerby
    Wood burning fire in the camp
    Fresh falling rain from the sky

    Lavendar in the bubble bath
    Barbeque ribs on the grill
    Newborn kittens wandering
    Dew from the mountain hill

    Life's little joys we know well
    Since they all come through our nose
    How grateful for that piece of us
    That catches what the wind blows

    By: Jpoet*
    That was so fun!
