      I wrote this super quick for poetry class a few weeks back. (I’m such a bad student… 😅) And then forgot about it. But a fellow student keeps pointing out how much he likes my poetry, so I decided it looks good enough to share. Lots of it only makes sense to me. Ya know, personal history, struggles, etc. Hope you like it!

       

      Socks as soft as dandelion

      Tiptoe along sidewalk cracks

      Pillbugs’ long shadows left behind

      Discern between wish and fact

       

      Cannot see or hear or feel them

      Pattering of angel feet

      Playing seek in the church basement

      Threadbare floor for marble street

       

      Paper airplanes in the classroom

      As we talk of worlds unknown

      Like it’s just a dusty newsreel

      Are we senseless or alone?

       

      Philosophy is best served with

      A noodle cup, steaming hot

      But while we’re down here on the earth

      Who knows what is right or not?

       

      Takes a heart to love a stranger

      Even more to love a friend

      Shifting thoughts like TV screens

      Doubt I ever will ascend

       

      Why know about eternity

      And restrain oneself like this?

      What did Bavinck call it? Desi-

      – Derium aeternitatis.

                  That’s a really unique piece! I’m going to have to read it several times over. It feels like memories of childhood, but it’s not all sweet fluffy thoughts. What’s the translation for the end?

                  And thank you for tagging me! I’m beginning to really love your poetry.

                  (Please share this Marcel poem. 🙂 )

                      Thank you 😘 *Dances a little Charleston step in due glee* I’m glad you guys like it!!

                      Desiderium aeternitatis means desire for eternity in latin, and for me the phrase represents the fusing of human senses with immaterial ambition. As humans, part physical and part spiritual, we have such a unique perspective on life. I just thought that was really cool, lol.

                      I’ll share the Marcel poem!

                          I’ve read this like five times over it’s really good. I love the imagery and the rhythm. It’s weirdly nostalgic and kinda reminds me of my dad’s poetry.

                          This is kinda irrelevant, but it also brought back a fun memory of my brother and I stealing sugar cubes from our church’s kitchen in the basement when we were little. (more proof that we needed Jesus lol)
