Carpe Diem: New art must form to heal

Beside the cactus I wait, like a rose waiting for water,

only the rain has yet to come in my barren state.
I'm parched with emptiness,
Hoping tomorrow will bring plentiful rains.

I wait for the sun to rise again,
taking for granted I will live another day.
I plan my schedule weeks in advance,
Don't I have enough for a day to handle?

I have seen the water before slide down the rose petals.
Why can't I be like the rose, beautifully waiting,
drinking humbly, leaving the rest for the ground?
Why is it when I imitate the rose, I fail?

God puts us here to fulfill his plan,
He gives us the tools we need to accomplish it
What, then I ask, is the rose's purpose;
does it not have a plan like the rest of us?

Sitting on a sidewalk, I picked up a rose.
It was parched, so I gave it water
I handed it to a lady, does the rose have a purpose now?
New life begins by opening the cactus and drinking its life
Spring is here again!

New Day

well this is my first blog post, and i have certainly come to realize the freedom found in blogging. I cant help but to write about anything, well since that is pretty much the point of blogging. I have wanted to keep a journal for the longest time, but seems as though my laziness has gotten in the way of that. Recently I have gotten over that point of my life for the most part, but its growing on me. So today was what i like to call "a new day" in that i changed some of my thinking and have gotten over many of my fears. What do you really have to lose in life? absolutely nothing right? so i like to think. I have a tough time breaking through and getting over things, but sometimes its a matter of organizing your thoughts, cause quite recently my thoughts have been pretty messy, which is good at times and gives me very creative thoughts, but in order for me to achieve what i need and want to achieve that takes discipline and a lot of organization. I'm probably ranting on about something that seems pointless, but it was on my mind and thought i should express myself and will most likely have to get used to the whole blogging thing, but that's the beauty of it all.
