Funeral

Their veins were filled with blood thick and viscous

Black suits, black dresses, spread out and scattered

Whispers escape their teeth mumble "Jesus"

Soon, he will turn to ashes gray as stone

And we watch him in his slumber she weeps-

Dry tears, they cannot reach down her cheekbones

While we whisper "Amen" the organ plays.

We watch him tightly bound in cold glory

She weeps. Soon, he'll be ashes fine and gray

Blank expressions and routinelike gestures

They shuffle along the stained old carpet

Towered flowers stand tall for the picture

For now he dwells in a lonely garden

They leave, their veins with blood thick and viscous

She weeps and walks with bones that never harden.

First day of work!

i don't have much to say. i've been praying for a thankful heart, and definitely God's been providing me the mindset of appreciating what I have. Watching "waiting for superman" made me REALLY appreciate the education I received in a prestigious school like University High School. I'm guessing you guys watched the documentary? I've only bawled my eyes out for two films. One is "Kung Fu Panda 2" mostly because I was experiencing hormonal imbalances, and the other is this documentary. So thank you God for letting me learn for four years, letting me learn to love learning, letting me have great teachers, great books, and great students around me.

now i'm sitting at a coffeeshop near work. Thank you God that i have a job, because i know lots of people that are trying to get jobs and have been trying for a while now. I was blessed with connections.

Summer has officially started, and it started off on the right foot. Any suggested readings?? I realized I get lots of time to kill since i'm choosing the bus as my mode of transportation. Some of it will be used to blogging like right now, some will just be set for daydreaming, and the rest, i'm hoping, will be saved for reading. I'm planning to compile a list of books.
