"If everyone lived for somebody else, then each person
 would in a way get to live their life for them. 
It would just be through another person."  ~ Rachel Wicks

While I wait ..

Rachel musing:
"are the unanswerable questions the most appealing because
just as the journey is more interesting than the destination.
Life is embraced more widely than death.
Creating is loved more often than completion"

Long goodbyes are for anyone who'd
rather be saying hello,
and I don't want to go, cause
 long goodbyes are for anyone
who'd rather be saying hello ..
Everyone knows I must leave for awhile
But believe me I won't go ...
               
~ Rachel Wicks
The golden moments in the stream of life
rush past us and we see nothing but sand
 the angels come to visit us,  and we only
know them when they are gone. 

Even when I'm moving
I feel like I'm waiting
Even when I'm running
I still feel I'm waiting ...  ~ R. W.

I don't want to back down, dance on a bush, live for sleep or hide my
face from the sun, for fear of cancer.  I want to never ever feel regret. 
 When I wake up, I would listen more .. I would play more ..
  I would understand .. not just say that I understand ..  but really
mean it.  I'd learn things when I cared, because I cared ..
 I would make effort ..  I would make peace .. I would make
 light of the situation.  All the indifference I feel
so to often would give way to passion ..
  As you know I would. 
~ Rachel Wicks

Cholera has a voice ...  This nonsense raining down ...  Breathing down my neck. 
Life is just a dream ..  Death is my morning.  You're just a character in this world
that I've sewn together with my over active mind ..  imagination.  But, I'm not giving
 it up ..  I'm not giving it up ..  giving in today.  But, I'm flirting with the idea
of waking from the dream ..  I'm flirting with the idea of waking
 from the dream .. Called life. 
~ Rachel Wicks

If I could only write as fast as I think.  I'd be like superman. 
You know I don't know if the futility of the whole trying to
cling to the mere pennies you have in this worlds wealth
dawned on me or what.  I honestly for this moment don't care.  
 I would rather be generous and poor, of course one as we
 know leads to the other and stopping  our discontent
is the soul purpose we do anything ..  right. 
So then  I cling to my pieces of paper with
 clinched fists ..  I write purely for the sake of writing. 
Isn't that enough in of itself. 
~ Rachel Wicks

 

I'm just gliding along, just gliding along,
in the echo of the wind
 you'll hear me playing a song
~ Rachel Wicks

Your soul is like a river ,
   of all you wish to see.
  Your spirit an open chord
  with all your strings set free.
                  
Rachel Wicks

Eyes never matching the images they meet.
We all see what we want to see.
Hear only the reflections of our own thoughts
The crow is in your head
The crow is in your head
Nothing is ever there unless
you perceive it to be .
~ R.W.

The ending of something familiar is as uncomfortable
 as, the incorporation of something new.

It is in the deterioration  of these walls
 that the limitless mind seeks out in the light of the day
 or, the clearness of night.  It seeks out and finds.

Peer into this package ,
 break the seal , miscellaneous happenings,
in search for something  real.

I'm falling .. I 'm just falling .. I won't stop falling until I fly
I'm standing on the edge ..  I'm standing on the edge of options
one way or the other ..  I'm standing on the edge and now I'm fading
I don't really mind ..  cause I didn't really want to make
 the decision anyway ..  flying free.

~ Rachel Wicks


How is it that someone can be so inspired by something so small ? 
The way the boot laces curve and intertwine in a criss-cross pattern. 
That ultimately falls to the side and leaves the top holes empty. 
The sparkle in the water gathered on the curbside borrowed by the moon .. 
musing ..
~  Rachel Wicks


In a room with a ceiling fan .. There sits
There sits this man and he knows his got a choice. 
 But,  what can be said ? 
 --  lyrics from burn -- 
~ R.W.
