i'm a girl who's been blessed with a beautiful family
i'm a girl who's been doubly blessed with beautiful friends
i'm inherently me, flaws and all
but to the people who have come into my life at one point or another
who have given so much of themselves
there is no one more precious to me

dinglehoppers
remember when the little mermaid in disney's kiddy version of a heartbreaking love story sang about things she couldn't understand? the oh-so-special dinglehopper...! she used a fork as a grooming tool and ran it through her silky mane, singing about how the grass is greener above than the sea fronds below.... contrary to what we'd like to think, we never really completely discard our adolescent longings even as real life is thrown smack in our faces.. what i would give to once again lie flat on my back with my hair spreadout around my head and run a fork (clean, of course) through the knots; it's been ages since my biggest problem in life was whether or not i fancied him like he fancied me....
isn't it strange how sentiments hover subconciously beneath the surface of our "toughened" hearts, only to surface when we least expect it and deliver one conscious bite in the tush....
we are one-winged angels
learning to fly
with balance of moments
in bright blue sky
will our wings eventual
sprout out to flee
when minds are unabashed
spread wide and free
why hearts abound spin
and stars do burn
whether sand doth slip
to fathoms churn
which is heaven on earth
gives soul to birth
where lays upon the hearth
our loud jarring mirth
