I may not know how to reach the single little dot
hand-written on my tattered map
but at least I no longer have only unmarked roads

 

In the City bubbles

posted by Zoe on Friday, April 11, 2008

The heavy hanging overcast sky
Suffocates me with stillness.
As the planes fly by
The chilling dampness bounds me here to watch,
Under the bridge of now and then,
All my dreams leave me behind.

Waiting for a moment to begin
I thought I would cry but
The rain never came.

Sometimes, the slight breeze
Carries echoes of laughter and stories
To tease; my dreams just out of reach
Fading like the nearby lamppost
From my memories.

Waiting for a moment to begin
I thought I would cry but
The rain never came.

 

Still it is raining bubbles

When did I start to hide
Under the bridge of now and then
So I wouldn’t leave your side
Or wave goodbye again

How much time as flowed by
Since I’ve remained in my mind
Or opened my eyes to the sky
To find my tears with the rain

Why is it that the seagulls are eating
My bread crumbs
One by one

Still it is raining
And I can no longer see
Behind or in front of me

the sun is very lonely
alone in the center
with the universe revolving around
as time presses on
haunted with dead memories
burnt into near reality
further along are volatile dreams
blocked off by jagged and broken promises
and in the middle are responsibilities
to shine

 

Music A Writing Exercise bubbles

This song from the anime Fruits Basket makes me feel nostalgic yet happy like when spring is around the corner. I often ponder why certain lyrics catch my attention. It's a little introspection that is ideal for writing and usually the emotions or ideas are great help for character building or even sometimes to move the plot along.
Try it!
Write down why you like a certain song the moment you hear it. Write down your mood or how it makes you feel or if it makes you remember particular events in your life...
Once your little diary entry completed try to see how your sentiments could fit with your characters or events in your story.

Try it now with the song included in this post, feel free to leave your reflections in the comment section above.

Have fun!
