Freedom from Structure

I am for classes being outside
where dirt and leaves can
make way to your paper
while a crisp, September air
breezes past your ear.

Not many teachers go outside, though.
Bomb scare or school shootings
or what-not is all they have to say.


I am for seeing the glass half-full
and than filling it up some
so no one can
see it the latter way or go thirsty.

I am for sleepless, star-filled,
story swapping nights which
inch themselves towards dew-filled
mornings where you finally talk
yourselves to sleep.

I am all for awaking from a dreamy
slumber, in the cuddly arms of another.
Gazing into endless eyes that simmer
with Open Curiosity and Compassion;
and allowing yours to well up
with tiny tears of recognition.
While your whispers of I love you's
wallow in the air.

I'm all for meaning every word
you say
even though sometimes
we don't.

I am for bare-feet, sun-rays on cool faces, and stormy days
where all the power goes out.
For card games, pleases and thank-yous,
and long walks that take you
no where but bring you some where.
I'm for giving and not expecting
ANYTHING in return;
receiving karma in the long run.

*For charity* and smiling at strangers.
I'm for contradictions and letting your
m i n d w a n d e r.
I am for the relationship between
John Lennon and Yoko Ono,
which is random,
but it inspired many
therefore I'm for inspiration.

I'm for finding Murder, War, and Genocide
PointLess Products of Miscommunication
and for overly stressing the
importance of acceptance.

Lastly,
but certainly not last,
I am for being for
TOO many things
that you can not keep track of them
or ever possible fill enough pages.
