wings of fire

Finding the needle in the haystack

If you squint your eyes you see the brightness in the darkest room
If you listen closly you hear laughter in a crowd.
If you tast a lemon a you tast sweetness.
If hate someone you love them just a little bit
If you think somethings ugly you'll find its beautiful.

Beware

If you squint your eyes just enough, you should be able to see a small, glowing spark in the distance. At first, it may seem beautiful because it's a beautiful thing, but beware, because it becomes hideous. Throughout the whole time, it has plent of outer beauty, but what about inner? Does this little spark have any inner beauty? Sometimes I wonder, but the answer is no. This little spark may be beautiful on the outside, but on the inside it's quite selfish. It may posess you and burn away your heart and all of your dreams. It will crush your hopes and bring out your worst fears. It will turn all your happiness into darkness, into its world. It will rule over you, so don't- whatever you do- let it posess you and get to you and crush your spirits until you're a soulless body. So beware. I warned you!

"if you squint your eyes just enough,you should be able.."

If you squint your eyes just enough, you should be able to see the world in different colors. You would see the flower pollen flying around and would be able to see the flowers blooming into an adult flower. You should be able to see the clouds moving all around you.

No way out

“If you squint your eyes just enough, you should be able to see the end,” the voice whispers in my head, almost tauntingly. Whipping my head around I wildly search, seeing no end in sight, I see nothing. The darkness of the maze causing dizziness. I'm not going to be able to find it, I keep thinking, this is it. There seems to be no end, it just keeps going and the further you stray the less likely you are to get out at all. The maze taunts and toys with your mind, playing games that no one but itself has answers to.

That one about squinting from week 4

“If you squint your eyes just enough, you should be able to see everything in the nichest of places and the highest peaks. Maybe you’ll see the bugs, or the hidden spaces in a house. For what gives you the sight that you see? Can it be, when you squint, you can focus on stuff you could not before, so what do you see, friend?”

YWP week 1

If you squint your eyes just enough you can see in between the lines. You'll be able to see the imperfect perfections. You'll see the bad drawn out from the good. However, you will also see the good in evil, the light in the darkness, and the strength in the ill.

What a Stubborn World

If you squint your eyes just enough you should be able to see both the backs of your eyelids and the haze of your eyelashes. You should see a blurred view of the world, and when the world views you, you'll look pretty stupid, squinting your eyes like that. But nevertheless you keep squinting. You keep squinting because I told you you looked stupid when you did it.

If You Squint Your Eyes....

If you squint your eyes just enough, you should be able to see through the cloudy haze that blocks your vision.

If you squint your eyes just enough you'll see things anew.

If you squint your eyes just enough you'll begin to see the world you cannot, when your eyes are fully open.

If you squint your eyes just enough you will see that the sky is a deep violet. Not blue.

If you squint your eyes just enough the ocean isn't blue, it's a dark teal the shade of the night's sky.

If you squint your eyes just enough the trees don't stay still, they sway, and morph into things you've never seen.

If you squint your eyes just enough, you should be able to see through the cloudy haze that blocks your vision.

DREAMS

If you squint your eyes just enough, you should be able to see the dreams life laid before your eyes

Did you see them well? Maybe you needed to put some glasses on to visibly see what destiny brought to the table

And just like the happiness you once had running around on the playground as a small child, it disappears. Never to be seen again

Why didn't you grasp it when it was still there? Hug it tight, and never let it go no matter what?

Were you ever in tune with the beat life was drumming?

Or were you too arrogant and decided to stay in tune with your tone-deaf humming?

It's too late to figure it out. Just like the stars in the night sky, it continued shining

Yet you insisted to keep staring at it until the cloud caressed the stars like a soft blanket

Now your stars are gone, disappeared within the dusk
