Perspective

Inspiration found in the hills of Los Angeles.

Streetlights and crescent moon guide the drive tonight

Words running into each other, erupting total chaos in my mind

No sense of which way the right direction, listening to all the wrongs

Insecure in the creativity, can't seem to shake them off me

You're close even though it's been two years,

Changed my perspective of what love is, what was

Desperate to live in a past, when the present is demanding my attention

I love the last line. Isn't living in the present sometimes hoping about the past to come alive again?????

I agree, sometimes we do hope the past would come to life again. However, I think we sometimes keep looking back and don't focus on what's demanding our attention in the now that we may lose a chance at something better or worst. I think regardless it'll shape and shift our perspective again. Thank you for reading and your comment, good vibes to you.

I enjoyed your words :) I picture you driving through LA the way Hank Moody did in Californication just trying to sort your thoughts. It's crazy the way the mind works... keeps us thinking and dreaming of what we used to have, what used to be our normal. It keeps us from zoning into our "now." Awesome work my fellow Californian :) And hopefully you've seen Californication or that line makes no sense lol

Thank Aaron! Appreciate the kind words and that's one of my favorites to Netflix binge on haha I agree, our thoughts can sometimes lose us in the past and keep us away from the present...CHEERS!

love is a very popular and consistent subject but writing about your
persoanl experience and others being able to relate is what makes you
a dynamic romance writer. Continue to bless my eyes..and please take a look at my creations..!

Oh my, what a last two lines. "Changed my perspective of what love is, what was
Desperate to live in a past, when the present is demanding my attention"
This reads in so many ways Gloria. I can picture you in the hills, looking down on the traffic, which is acting like your words and your thoughts, running into each other, this way and that, chasing the present while thinking of the past.
The hills are the serenity while you observe the chaos below. The first line sets the scene of beauty and light, while the second looks at the picture beneath the surface.
This says so much in such a short piece. Great job here.

Thank you Lorry for your kind words :) I'm glad you enjoyed this piece. Used your advice and look what came from it :) I was so excited to finally make sense of the chaos and the serenity found in the hills gave me the perspective I needed. Thank you again for the advice and comment :)
