I'm wondering who thinks there's a right way to live yourlife.I'm wondering who my friends will be in the coming years.I'm wondering who I will be in the coming years.I'm wondering who I am right now. I'm w.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/Captain_Kirk/1853028/ This world is open to being heaven but only if you'll let it. For it to do so you must first stretch your arms to their full length. You have to gaze up at the sky with eyes clouded by love for its beauty. Feel as if you can reach out, skimming your fingers along lakes, brushing your arm across the .. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/Captain_Kirk/1764017/ Do you ever get that feeling,That you're just watching your life,It's streaming before your eyes,It's simply passing you by. And you have no ability to cry,As you haven't got any control.Soon enough you'll have to die,Your mind has already grown old. .. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/Captain_Kirk/1761272/ Rain's been pelting down,with dripping and dropping sounds.Driving into me a downward frown,and casting a shadow over this town.While I say things like that,I'm still staying safe and sound.I'm not a silly spoiled brat,I'm more of a hungry hound. Meanwhile I just sit and lo.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/Captain_Kirk/1757292/ It feels like a page,that's been torn from a book.Most of it pulled asunder, apart from a clinging nook.It cries out to me,"Don't pull us apart!".It doesn't seem to realize,I only got the tear to start.From there fate had its way,and took retribution on my heart.I never knew what I should say,I.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/Captain_Kirk/1750573/ As the trees whisper,and crickets creak.Your image lingers,Your eyes speak.Your smile falters,it appears you feel weak.If only you knew,the answers you seek.The world around you,it's colourful, not bleak.There will come a time,when you stand at its peak.Though now it's harsh,and you may feel meek.&n.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/Captain_Kirk/1732316/ The spider clings on,It itches to bite and sting.Crawling around my brain,Ensnaring its plaything.  Tugging at my mind,Disturbing the cobwebs.Concurrently creating new ones... And the spider trickles down,Interrupting my thought. The slick, strin.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/Captain_Kirk/1723680/ Found this old poem in my journal. Thought I'd like to upload it. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/Captain_Kirk/1705057/ Time fading away,Footprints no longer cast.
