What to blog?

Hello viewing audience of one....maybe two....who knows? I am so bored of writing about local bands because they never have much info on their myspaces. If anyone has a suggestion of what bands to do So, I guess I can talk about something else again. I will talk about how my radio show is going. Or maybe i'll post a song on here that I wrote myself. Or maybe i'll just keep writing like this...nobody knows. Ok, so after a debate with myself (very interesting, i know) I have decided that for the next few blogs I will post songs or poetry that I have written instead of doing bands.


The poem I am about to share with you i wrote about two or three years ago. I wrote while I was on a trip to Seattle, Washington for my Uncle Kirby's wedding. I was dating a boy at the time, and was sad to be away from him. But it really could be taken in different ways too. Well, I hope whoever reads this enjoys it or whatnot.

  "Missing You" 

 by Tricia Sauer 

With the sea breeze blowing on me,

blowing my hair around,

I imagine that it's you,

running your hands through my hair.

I desperately try to find "our song"on the radio,

so I can imagine us dancing together to it, again.

I'm fifteen hundred miles away

& I miss you.

I wrap my arms around myself,

& I imagine that it's your arms,

keeping me safe & warm.

I close my eyes, love

& think of you

& oh, how I miss you so.

Pictures of you run through my head.

I imagine your eyes, your laugh, your smile.

I want you to hold me & keep me close by.

I know you'll always be my shoulder to cry on & you'll catch me if I fall

I'll be here, your rock, when you need me, if you fall.

And I want you to know, babe,

that i'll be with you through everything.

I'm lonely without you...

you brighten my day.

Even when i'm not this far away,

I miss you always.

I'm thinking that maybe this poem wasn't finished. Sometimes I find that going back and reading poems can be a thrilling thing. If you were to compare two poems/works of art to one another from most recent to least recent, you could most likely see the difference in the styles. When I look back at my poems I can usually tell which ones were written in middle school, high school, or college. This particular poem was written in my junior year My middle school poems were generally pretty repetitive. All of them had the same general theme. My high school poems actually were pretty good except for the fact that I basically knew nothing about meter, and such. And as for college, besides the fact that I really haven't had much time to write, my poems are good but unfinished, like there is something more I could say in each one.

 

Another really great thing about looking back at things you've written is seeing how much you've changed as a person: what matters most to you in life, how you feel about a certain topic or person, what kind of struggles you've been through, how your faith/life is truely touched by the Holy Spirit. For the most part my poems/songs all tend to be within a few different topics such as heartbreak, depression, grief, pain, hope, love, hopelessness, the past, my father, Jesus, and topics that i'm passionate about. Sometimes my writings tell a story. Other times I just try to relate a feeling to the reader (which is most often myself or sometimes my friends).

I don't know if anyone is really getting anything out of this. I hope that you all do. I actually have better writings that I will share with you all. Most of them reflect how i was feeling at the time. Well, since I don't have much more important stuff to say I think I will just go. Ha ha. Hope you all enjoy the poem.
