announcement + never seen before poem



summer

we talk of summer with longing in our voices
for the sunlight that warms up our icy eyes
forget-me-nots peeking between blades of grass
day dreaming with clouds about the dirt beneath our feet

we look forward to springing up from new ground
breaking the frost with love running wild
road trips across soul filled mountains
under hills with red dirt and wrinkles of time

but today as the afternoon rolls around
we sit beneath the ceiling made of plaster
holding onto the summer in one another
like we will never see it again

we believe in resurrection like we are violets
so when the rain comes we are not afraid of death
but the red mountains run like blood
and the grass bends so low that it can feel our heartbeat

HEY WHAT. addy and i worked together on that. it was sitting in my drafts gathering dust. so i'd thought i'd let it see the light of day and make it's home on this blog. 

dun dun duuuun.

which brings us to my announcement.
WOO.

with a changing heart and happy eyes, i am pleased to let you guys know that i'm moving on from this blog. i've had it since the beginning of two-thousand-fifteen. that's two entire years, yo. since then, my writing has greatly improved, i've laughed more than ever, had several adventures, and changed. 

whaaaat. 

so. it's time to clean things up and start on something else. this blog will still be here. just a chapter. you can look back on it and laugh and cry (or forget about it entirely. no hard feelings). 

from now on, you can find me here: brin lael

ha. hope to see you there. and if not, that's okay. i already know. no need to explain. 

*salutes* farewell, words passing you by. i'll come back to hear your stories soon. keep a steady heart and listen to the waves of the sea. they're constant. 
God is good.

    1. yep my son. that's exactly it. and it makes me laugh like crazy because God is crazy good and it's all like AHHH. so good. how He loves us.

      oh my gosh. these goodbyes are some of my favorites. because it's a good one. it's a, "see you over there but for right now we're letting this thing go." this one doesn't hurt. good good good. "new horizons are the most wonderful thing and the turning of the year is the perfect time..."
      you got it. exactly. HOW. x laughing forever. see you over there.

  10. whoa whoa yes yes yes. these WOOOORRRRRDDDDSSS MAN

    and I hear you. I hear you. I started a blog at the end of 2013 and by the end of 2015 I just wasn't feelin' it. I tried to fight the feelings thru 2016. it's just a website after all. I doesn't *really* exist or whatever. but it does. and you can turn around and look at something you once felt so passionately about and suddenly find that you've grown out of that space.

    and that, my friend,
    is ok.

    I applaud you :) best wishes and i'll meet you over in the new space!

    1. FOR A MILLION SECONDS I LAUGHED HARD. oh goodness. a slightly new face. i think that's it. because we grow older and although it is pretty much the same, we have a slightly new face. yep. you got it.
      I LOVE YOU. and that name took a couple days. looked around and experimented and these blue eyes lit up at every sweet one. goodness.

      you are genuine. and honest. and a little different.
      i think i need that.

      GOLDEN SMILES YOUR WAY YO. x
